Sloane Stephens also reacted with a heart-eye emoji.
Rodman is currently in the midst of a strong NWSL campaign and is expected to play a key role for the USWNT in upcoming Olympic tune-ups. She last appeared in a game on Apr. 5, following which she has taken a medical leave to address her chronic back pain.
Meanwhile, Shelton continues his rise on the ATP Tour. His latest appearance came in the Stuttgart Open's semifinal, where he went down against Germany's Alexander Zverev in straight sets. Now he has his eyes set on the biggest Grand Slam of the Year, Wimbledon.
Ben Shelton and Trinity Rodman are a thing now
Ben Shelton and Trinity Rodman left hints about their dating in early March when they crossed over on social media platforms. They did a TikTok trend, namely “shooting their shot” with each other.
Later on March 17, they went Instagram official with Shelton posting a cozy picture with Rodman along with other random pictures.
"I been focused, but I’m steady climbin’, I’m nowhere near my peak," he wrote in the caption.
Rodman commented on Shelton's Instagram:
“Shooters shoot I guess.”
Soon, it was shared across multiple platforms with several colleagues and friends, including Sloane Stephens, and Coco Gauff, calling their arrival on social media.
In an interview with The Post, Shelton addressed the "hard launch" of the couple on Instagram. It made him feel overwhelmed.
“I feel like, you know, posting your girlfriend on Instagram is a more normal thing. 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,” he said.
10 days later, Rodman also went official on Instagram with Shelton.
Rodman has made herself available for Shelton's tennis matches. She was spotted at the Munich Open in April, attending Shelton’s semi-final match against Francisco Cerundolo of Argentina.
