US Soccer star Trinity Rodman lovingly gazed at tennis star boyfriend Ben Shelton from her front-row seat during his second-round Wimbledon matchup on Thursday.
Dennis Rodman’s daughter and the American tennis dynamo hard-launched their relationship in March, a few months after Shelton competed in the Australian Open.
Last month, Trinity was also in attendance at the French Open, watching her man make a run to the Round of 16, departing the field after a loss to Carlos Alcaraz at Roland Garros before his all-time classic against Jannik Sinner.
In London, Rodman wore a stripped, long-sleeve shirt, not adhering to the all-white clothing requirement given to Shelton and the rest of the competitors.
As Shelton came near his girlfriend in between points, as she looked up at him in admiration, believing he could do no wrong.
Shelton, the No 10 seed, was well on his way to winning his match on Thursday against Australian Rinky Hijikata before play was suspended, one game away from the American being triumphant.

Shelton was livid with the decision to end his match 91 minutes before the tournament’s curfew.
The match will continue Friday morning with Shelton up 6-2, 7-5, 5-4, with the likely little work needed to advance to the final 32 in men’s singles being a nuisance.
Rodman, far from a bother, is dealing with a back injury and has no timeline for a return to the field. That is why she is not in camp with the United States women’s national team, which defeated Canada 3-0 last night in Washington DC.
Shelton is part of the current American renaissance, alongside Frances Tiafoe, Tommy Paul, and Taylor Fritz, chasing the likes of Sinner, Alcaraz, and Novak Djokovic for major titles.
With plenty of upsets already taking place in the men’s singles draw at Wimbledon, the stars could align for a first major title for Shelton, only five wins away.
