Who is Trinity Rodman? The US footballer dating tennis star Ben Shelton
- Trinity Rodman has been seen courtside at the US Open supporting her partner, US tennis player Ben Shelton, but the 23-year-old is a sports superstar in her own right.
- Rodman signed a new three-year contract with National Women’s Soccer League side Washington Spirit in January, making her the highest-paid female footballer in the world according to her agent.
- The United States forward’s deal was reportedly worth in excess of $2m (£1.48m) per year when including performance-related bonuses.
- Rodman, who is the daughter of five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman, overtook Barcelona midfielder and three-time Ballon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmati as the top earner in women’s football.
- Having joined Washington Spirit in 2021, Rodman earned NWSL rookie of the year honours while helping the club win the championship, and she subsequently played a key role in the USA securing Olympic gold at Paris 2024.
