Soccer Star Alex Morgan Announces Retirement and Pregnancy In Tearful Video
Trinity Rodman is kickin’ her love life up a notch.
In fact, the soccer star and tennis player Ben Shelton recently made their new romance Instagram official.
“I been focused, but I’m steady climbin’,” Ben, 22, wrote on his March 18 Instagram photo dump, which included a photo of the couple smiling in an elevator as Trinity kisses him on the cheek. “I’m nowhere near my peak.”
His fellow tennis stars gushed over Ben’s new relationship status reveal, with Coco Gauff commenting, “hard hard launchhhhh,” and Frances Tiafoe dropping several side-eye emojis while adding, “We gram now.”
As for Trinity, she cheekily wrote, “Shooters shoot I guess.”
The 22-year-old and Ben’s Instagram PDA comes two weeks after they were flirting with each other on TikTok. On March 6, Ben teased their relationship by using the “shooters shot” lyric from Jorjiana and GloRilla’s hit track, “ILBB2.” As for his romantic aim, he revealed his crush’s seven letter name started with a “T,” leading fans to speculate in the comments that he was referring to Trinity.
The speculation heightened once Trinity—daughter of retired basketball star Dennis Rodman with ex-wife Michelle Moyer—responded to Ben’s shot that same day, revealing she had her eye on someone with the same amount of letters in his name.
Ben, who previously dated track star Anna Hall, gushed over her not-so-subtle response in the video’s comment section, writing, “Ain’t no way.”

While Trinity—who previously went public with her romance with ex Trinity Benson last spring—is settling in her new relationship bliss, she’s also keeping her eyes on the prize when it comes to the future of her career.
“I’ve always thought about playing overseas at some point in my career,” she told ESPN’s Futbol W on March 12. “I think I would kick myself if I retired and hadn't done that, so it’s just a matter of when.”

"I've been with my husband for over eight years now and I think one thing I love about him is that he doesn't let the NFL define him. I think that he is so much more off the field. While he does love football that much, he is a caring husband. He's a caring dog dad. He's currently outside building something in our garage. He likes to play with power tools and all of that. My husband is my best friend and I'm so grateful for his support." —Allison, wife to retired defensive end Isaac
Jonathan Owens & Simone Biles
"I knew he was the one when I first met his mom. She has a little bit of a disability with her walking, she's gotten a lot stronger, but how he treated his mother and how he treats women, I was like, 'Wow.' Almost weekly he brings me flowers. It's kind of cliché but it's just so cute because, after his practices from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., he still takes the time to put a smile on my face." —Simone, Olympic gymnast and wife to football player Jonathan

whole day, just because he doesn't want everything to fall to me. What a guy." —Mary, wife to Los Angeles Dodgers baseball player Chris
