American tennis player Ben Shelton and Olympic football star Trinity Rodman Heard launched a relationship on social media on Monday.
Taken to his Instagram, Shelton included a snapshot of USWNT and Washington Spirit forward Rodman as the final slide in the carousel post.
“I'm focused, but I'm steadily climbing, I'm not approaching my peak,” writes Shelton, 22.
“I guess the Shooters shooting shot,” Rodman, 22, the daughter of Bulls legend Dennis Rodman, said in a comment.
The tennis community especially enjoyed their publicity.
Fellow players Coco Gough and Sloan Stevens said it was a “hard launch” by the couple.
Francis Tiafoe added, “We'll gram out the gram now.”
It's unclear exactly how Shelton and Rodman met, and when they started dating.
It seemed that some of the tennis community in comments might know about the couple.
Rodman previously dated NFL wide receiver Trinity Benson, who last played with the Cleveland Browns in 2023.
Rodman officially made the relationship announcing in a post that was deleted on Instagram in May 2024.
“Trinity Squared🫣😘,” she wrote.
It is unknown when they will split.
Shelton previously linked to Heptus Leanna Hall at the University of Florida.
Rodman is usually private about his personal life.
Last December, while appearing on the Call Her Daddy podcast, she made headlines to discuss her upbringing and her tense relationship with her father.
After the former NBA player announced a public apology to his daughter, she said with him that it was “finished.”
