Twenty-three-year-old American professional soccer player Trinity Rodman and twenty-two-year-old American professional tennis player Ben Shelton are on their way to becoming the newest sports power couple. Since they made their relationship public via an Instagram post Ben Shelton shared on March 17, the duo has been a constant source of support to each other.
Their relationship was made official when Ben shared a carousel with an image of himself and Trinity Rodman sharing an intimate moment in the last slide. He captioned the post:
