Trinity Rodman and Ben Shelton can't stop swooning over each other.

Just days ago, the soccer player was spotted supporting Shelton after his devastating quarterfinal loss to Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon this year. Now, she is sharing a sneak peek into their romantic vacation to Europe.

She took to Instagram on July 14 to share a photo of herself striking a playful pose alongside Ben at the beach. The pair were smiling cheek-to-cheek as they shared a kiss. Rodman had her arms around Shelton's neck. She also shared some behind-the-scenes photos of her time at the All England Lawn Tennis Club in London, which is where the tennis games are held every year.

Trinity Rodman, 23, who is the daughter of former NBA star Dennis Rodman and Michelle Moyer, captioned her post:

“Not the summer that I had in mind but still loved every moment. Can’t wait to be back on the field.”

Trinity Rodman and Ben Shelton's relationship explored:

Trinity Rodman, who is a forward for the Washington Spirit of the NWSL, has been spotted at several of Ben Shelton's matches. The pair went Instagram official with their relationship back in March, USA Today has reported, with Shelton even giving his beau a shoutout after he won the third round on July 5, beating Marton Fucsovics.

"It's not just been me here, I have a great team. My parents are here, my girlfriend's here," Shelton said on the ESPN broadcast.

Back in April, he also spoke to USA Today about his bond with Trinity Rodman, who is one of the best scorers on the U.S. Women's National Team:

"She's great," he said. "I think we're both very happy. And yeah, it's been cool getting to know her and spend time with her."

Shelton also spoke with the Post about posting his girlfriend online:

“I feel like, you know, posting your girlfriend on Instagram is a more normal thing,” he said. “I guess because of who it is, is why people went nuts a little bit. But yeah, kinda crazy how much it did blow up… and I realized, ‘wow, people care about my life that much.’ But yeah, [we’re] happy for sure.”

Trinity Rodman, who is the daughter of the Basketball Hall of Famer, slammed Wimbledon this year for mispronouncing her name. Also an Olympic winner, she took to her Instagram Stories on July 7 to call the broadcasters out:

“For those who don't know, my name is Trinity, not Tiffany,” she penned. “Also, for Ben's matches, he has his family there as his support system, which includes his dad…My dad’s not even in my life no need to bring him up during his matches when I don’t even want him talked about during mine. It's his and his loved ones' moment. Thank you.”

She is a promising soccer player in her own right, as mentioned by former US head coach Vlatko Adonovski when he told USA Today in 2022:

“[Rodman] was one of the most exciting players in the league this past season, and she proved that she can be impactful at the professional level in National Women's Soccer League. She is still a young player, but we do want to expose her to the environment where she can get her feet wet a little bit. And hopefully she can continue growing and show what she was able to do in the league she can do at the international level. We don’t want to rush anything. We’ve got to be patient.”

Just last year, The Guardian ranked Trinity Rodman the No. 5 player in the world. She scored three goals in the Paris Olympics last year, allowing the United States to nab a gold medal. She also became the youngest person to ever get drafted to the NWSL at 18 years old, shortly after she went No. 2 overall to the Washington Spirit in 2021.

In April, it was announced that Trinity Rodman would be taking a break from the Spirit as she sustained a back injury.

"Honestly, I don't think my back will ever be 100 percent," she said at the time. "We've managed [the injury] really well and I'm happy with the progression that we've had. But for me, I don't think my back will ever be the way it was my rookie year, which is unfortunate."

Per E! News, the Spirit announced back in April that Trinity Rodman's break was indefinite. As of this writing, her return has yet to be confirmed. In the meantime, stay tuned to SoapCentral for more.
