“I am just another person in a relationship that people know about,” Trinity Rodman remarked earlier while commenting on the fresh start of her love chapter with tennis superstar Ben Shelton. Quite a pro way to handle all the spotlight that’s been beaming down on the newest couple in town. But from the looks of it, Rodman doesn’t exactly seem to be living up to those words—or trying too hard to keep things ‘normal.’
“Obsessed” might just be the perfect word to describe what her new boyfriend means to the USWNT star. And to be fair, the 22-year-old had already used that exact word herself, dropping the comment “Obsessed with you Benny🥰” on an Instagram carousel Shelton shared a few weeks ago — one that, of course, featured her too. So what ‘obvious‘ yet not-so-normal thing did the estranged daughter of Dennis Rodman do again to make the center stage again?
Well, her latest social media activity is to be blamed. Recently, Ben got featured in a sports performance campaign by partnering with a supplement brand called Thorne Health. A carousel post was shared by the brand featuring a stunning photoshoot of the 2024 U.S. Men’s Clay Court Championship winner in action, while also promoting their products.

Interestingly, this campaign somehow caught the eye of Trinity Rodman, who couldn’t help but gush over the post. The Washington Spirit forward seemed to have been completely love-struck with her boyfriend’s pictures. That only saw Miss Girlfriend publicly reshare the post on her Instagram stories with a caption saying, “Ur kidding right? 😍😩😍❤”

Very subtle—Way to go, Trin. Clearly, Rodman is crushing hard; everyone knows it, and there’s no way the 2024 Paris Olympian is beating those allegations of being head over heels for Shelton. Of course, hardly anyone would mind. This is the least that couples do to showcase their love for one another. The fact they are doing it publically only melts the hearts of their ardent fans even more.
Of course, this isn’t the first time the couple has shown off their cheesy, romantic side. Earlier, after Rodman scored her long-coming goal for the USWNT vs Brazil, Shelton publically expressed his pride in support of his partner. Not to mention, the tennis star even showed up at an NWSL game between the Washington Spirit and Kansas City Current to support Trinity — despite coming off an upset loss to Coleman Wong, himself.
Meanwhile, Trin once shared a post featuring Shelton, where she was seen leaning back comfortably into his arms, both hands busy with her phone as she captured the sweet moment. Her gaze was locked on the tennis star, while Shelton, though partly hidden under his cap, looked right back at her. To top it off, she captioned the post with a playful, “Dibs 🤭.”
What’s your perspective on:
Is Trinity Rodman's public affection for Ben Shelton endearing or just too much for your taste?
Have an interesting take?
Yes, yes, we get it, Rodman — Ben is all yours (touchwood alert!); no need to state the obvious. Then again, you can’t really blame her for doing so, considering the talented winger was very close to going through one of the biggest nightmares any couple could face!
Ben Shelton sent a break-up message to Trinity Rodman!
