The sports scene might just have a new dynamic duo taking it by storm—emerging tennis sensation Ben Shelton and USWNT standout Trinity Rodman have caught everyone’s attention.
Earlier this March, they stirred up buzz with a playful TikTok challenge hinting at a mutual crush. Fast forward to Monday, and it looks like things have taken a more official turn. Rodman made an appearance with Shelton in the closing frame of his Instagram post, suggesting the start of something special.
Even Shelton’s fellow tennis peers, like Coco Gauff and Frances Tiafoe, couldn’t resist chiming in on the budding romance as they dropped their thoughts in the comments. Gauff put it simply, “Hard launchhhhh,” capturing the excitement. Rodman, too, referenced their TikTok connection, leaving a playful comment that had followers buzzing.
As we look forward to what’s next, Shelton is set to compete at the Miami Open later this week. Meanwhile, for Rodman, it’s back to the soccer field as her team, the Washington Spirit, gears up to face off against the Kansas City Current on Saturday. With both athletes excelling in their sports and finding support in one another, they’re certainly a pair to watch closely both on and off the field.
