Trinity Rodman Balances NWSL Duties and US Open Support

Trinity Rodman is drawing attention for balancing her professional soccer commitments with support for her boyfriend, tennis player Ben Shelton, during his run at the 2026 US Open. Shelton, who is two wins from the title, defeated Carlos Alcaraz in a five-set quarterfinal on September 8, 2026, in a match that ended at around 3:30 a.m. Rodman, a forward for Washington Spirit in the National Women's Soccer League, was in the stands for the victory. Despite the late finish, Rodman reported to Washington Spirit practice the following morning. She documented the night on TikTok, where a video showed she was awake at 4:14 a.m. The clip circulated widely on social media, with fans expressing admiration for her ability to manage both schedules. Some commenters joked about her stamina, while one noted that at 23, going to work after a late night is a familiar experience. Rodman has been a visible presence throughout Shelton's tournament. She attended his first two matches in person, including a September 2 second-round win where she wore a cropped black T-shirt reading I heart my boyfriend, an outfit that went viral.
