Trinity Rodman has yet to play her first game of 2025, but it looks like she’s already “shooting her shot.” We hope you catch the reference, but just to be clear, it has nothing to do with scoring on the soccer field. It seems the offseason has kept the Washington Spirit forward busy in the love department, as rumors of her potential romance with tennis star Ben Shelton have surfaced. While the sports world hasn’t even digested this gossip, USWNT veteran Kelly O’Hara has already embraced them as a “power couple.”
Yes, yes, let’s back it up first and know how we came to this. Recently, the two reputable athletes in their respective fields took to the social media platform TikTok and shared a unique video. First, Trinity Rodman shared a short clip of herself where in the caption she wrote, “_ _ _ wassup w you.” Simultaneously, Ben Shelton also followed suit by writing, “T****** wsp with you,” in the clip he shared.
It may not seem so at first but these underlines and asterisks from both Rodman and Shelton are a clear indication that they used it to hide their names. This “Soft launch” of a potential love affair with each other somehow became a topic of discussion on the latest episode of Sports Are Fun! podcast by Just Women’s Sports. The host first questioned his fellow panel whether the two revered sports figures had actually taken a shot at each other.
While one of the podcasters noted that it’s not an official thing, it was agreed that both Rodman and Shelton definitely seem to be cooking up something. Interestingly, when asked whether everyone likes this public flirting on social media, Kelly O’Hara quickly said, “100%, I think it’s so cute.” She further added, “I feel like when it’s two people in the public eye, it’s like, if you want to do it, go for it, you know?”
