Are Ben Shelton and Trinity Rodman hinting at a romance on TikTok?
On Friday, March 7, Trinity Rodman—daughter of NBA legend Dennis Rodman—shared a playful video featuring Glorilla and Jorjiana’s song, ILBB2, in the background. The lyrics in the clip include, “They say shooters shoot Duke Dennis what’s up with you.”
However, when Dennis’ name was mentioned, the on-screen text read, “_ _ _ wassup w you,” as Trinity smiled and pointed at the suggestive message.
Meanwhile, U.S. tennis star Ben Shelton posted a TikTok of himself listening to the same song, with the text, “T****** wsp wit u.”
Fans quickly picked up on the fact that the number of blank spaces in both posts matched the letters in their first names, fueling speculation that the two athletes might be flirting online.
Fans React to the TikTok Posts
TikTok users flooded the comment sections, speculating about a possible romance between the two 22-year-olds.
“Trinity Rodman for sureeee Ben you can’t hide hah,” one fan commented on Shelton’s post.
Another user wrote under Trinity’s video, “IT’S BEN SHELTON OH MY DAYS IMA GO STUPID 🎉😘🎉.”
Neither Shelton nor Rodman have publicly addressed whether they are dating.
Trinity Rodman’s Past Relationship and Family Background
Before the TikTok rumors, Trinity was romantically linked to professional football player Trinity Benson. The two made their relationship Instagram official in May 2024.
Rodman, a rising star in the National Women’s Soccer League, is the daughter of basketball Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman. However, in a December 2024 interview on Call Her Daddy, she opened up about their complicated relationship.
“We tried to live with him [Dennis], but he was having parties 24/7,” she shared. “He’s bringing random women in,” the 2024 Olympic gold medalist added. “My mom was strong enough to deal with it, but even to this day, I still believe my dad hasn’t loved anyone after my mom.”
Despite their ups and downs, Trinity remains open to reconnecting with her father.
“If something does happen, God forbid, I want to know that I did my part,” she said. “If he needs to hear my voice before anything happens, that’s why I answer the phone—not for me, but for him.”
Ben Shelton’s Rising Tennis Career
Like Rodman, Shelton comes from an athletic family. The 22-year-old is the son of former professional tennis players Bryan and Lisa Shelton. In 2023, he became the youngest American men’s semi-finalist at the U.S. Open since Michael Chang in 1992.
