Ben Shelton and Trinity Rodman took to TikTok to share an adorable video after hard-launching their relationship on social media. The sporting stars dropped hints that they were dating each other, and Shelton finally made things official when he posted a photo with the American soccer player on Instagram.

Rodman has now given a small glimpse into their relationship as she took part in a viral trend, sharing one of the reasons why the ATP No. 14 made her so happy. It comes after the USWNT star shut down speculation that another tennis player, Frances Tiafoe, set her up with Shelton.

Shelton and Rodman initially got the rumour turning when they joined in with another TikTok trend last month, where people ‘shoot their shot’ to the song ILBB2 by sharing the name of the person they have a crush on.

The tennis star gave a shoutout to an unnamed person whose name started with a T and was seven letters long. Rodman did the same. “ – – – whassup w you,” she wrote, blanking out Shelton’s first name.

Their fans and followers quickly caught on, believing Shelton and Rodman were teasing their relationship. And the ATP ace made things official ahead of the recent Miami Open, sharing a snap of the couple in a lift together as part of a photo dump.

Rodman has now taken things a step further with her latest TikTok video. Users have been sharing reasons they “wouldn’t want to be anybody else” to the tune of Selena Gomez’s old song Who Says?

And the 22-year-old ‘gave her reason’ as she posted a video of herself eating crisps with Shelton right behind her. “Mood cuz he keeps me fed every hour of the day,” Rodman wrote, adding a heart-eye emoji.

It comes after Rodman appeared on ESPN last week and addressed her relationship with Shelton.

“I’m just another person in a relationship and people know about it. I’m obviously very happy and hopefully some of the world is happy but it’s in the public eye so I can’t really do much about that,” she said.

One of Shelton’s rivals and friends, world No. 17 Tiafoe, recently took credit for getting the new couple together. And Rodman quickly shut him down.

She added: “I don’t know if I want everyone to know the story but I can assure you frances was not the reason that we met or got together!

“I don’t know why he’s taking credit for that. Me and Ben can both cut that out, it was solely a me and Ben thing. We wanna say we met through the TikToks but we didn’t do that.”

Rodman is set to return to the USWNT for the first time since their Olympic triumph as she was named in Emma Hayes’ squad for their upcoming friendlies.

Meanwhile, Shelton will be in action at the Monte-Carlo Masters. He played the tournament once back in 2023 and lost in the first round.
