Dennis Rodman’s rocky history with his kids isn’t exactly a secret. Trinity Rodman, now a soccer star, opened up last year and didn’t hold back. “He’s not a dad. Maybe by blood, but nothing else,” she said, explaining that he may share her blood, but not her life. During that emotional podcast interview, she recalled her family’s struggles, getting to even living out of a car. The separation from Dennis wasn’t just physical: it was emotional, lasting, and painful. Trinity made it clear that while he once supported them financially, he vanished after the divorce.
But then came Dennis’s public apology. In a heartfelt Instagram post, he wrote, “Sorry I wasn’t the Dad you wanted me to be but either way I still tried and I still Try and Never will Stop.” It felt like an olive branch. He shared old photos and insisted he was always proud of her. “I will keep Trying even when you’re being told as an adult not to respond to my phone calls,” he added. He seemed desperate to reconnect, still clinging to that hope. Since then, it has been six months, and the question arises: have they begun to patch their strained relationship?
Well, the latest development suggests otherwise. When Trinity turned 23, the celebration was joyful. Her mother, Michelle, shared a sweet Instagram video packed with throwbacks. She had made a video compiling different videos, pictures of the Trinity family, friends, etc. In the caption of the post, she wrote, “I’m proud of you every second of every day keep being you Trinity and you are the best daughter I could ever ask for. I’m so blessed that you’re mine. Enjoy your day..” In the comments, DJ Rodman dropped a comment that simply read, “Such a mom video .” The moment was filled with love and adoration. But something still felt off…
That ‘something’ was Dennis’s silence. There was no birthday message, no post, not even a comment. It felt especially odd after his earlier claims from last year. “FYI: I watch you play All the time (actually flew in to watch you play and was told not to show up bc who I was with instead and me just wanting to support you),” he had said. He even mentioned flying in once and watching from a hotel balcony just to avoid drama. So, why the silence now?
Interestingly, Trinity didn’t buy his act. Instead, she had stated, “Even at that game, I don’t think that was for me. I think he wanted to have a good conscience and then be like, headline, Dennis Rodman showed up to his daughter’s game.” It an unfortunate circumstance – and something that echoed again in a recent milestone – Rodman’s own birthday. While Trinity was still missing, it was something different in its own right.
Dennis Rodman turns 64 with unexpected birthday moves
To say Dennis Rodman has lived a wild life would be an understatement. On May 13, he turned 64 – something even he seemed shocked by. “I’m surprised I’m still here because a lot of people thought I would be dead at 40, 45, 50, 55,” he admitted. For someone who’s been through highs and lows, just making it to 64 felt like a twist in itself. But instead of club lights and chaos, his celebration this year took a surprisingly wholesome turn.
Instead of pulling a usual Rodman move, he showed up to a kids’ birthday party. That’s right! A full-on children’s bash. There was music blasting, including Roddy Ricch’s The Box, and Rodman didn’t just stand by. He danced, laughed, and soaked in the energy. One kid casually called him “my boy,” while another asked for a selfie like he was a neighborhood hero. Rodman posted the moment saying, “Wow These kids were Had a good time .” It was genuine and a little unexpected from the usually flamboyant star.
And guess what? Getting dapped by the kids wasn’t even the strangest part of his birthday month. Just weeks before, the internet falsely claimed he had died. The hoax spread quickly, thanks to a bizarre April Fools’ prank that even gave a ridiculous cause of death. Rodman, true to his style, clapped back with a grinning selfie, writing, “Yesss Sirr Alive and Well What’s up #alive #imhere.” Fans were relieved, even as they were fuming over the cruel joke.
Still, he didn’t let the prank steal his vibe. When his birthday rolled around, he posted, “Another Year to be Alive and Well Happy Birthday to Me.” And instead of candles, he blew past bowls of ice cream, cupcakes, and cones. Because honestly, what else would Dennis Rodman do but the unexpected?
