As Trinity Rodman has been taking the U.S. women’s soccer world — and the 2024 Paris Olympics — by storm, her boyfriend, Trinity Benson, has been rooting her on.
In 2021, Rodman made history as the youngest soccer player ever drafted when she was picked for the Washington Spirit at just 18 years old. With her killer performance as part of Team USA’s women’s soccer team at the 2024 Paris Olympics, she has cemented herself as someone to watch in the field.
Many know Rodman as the daughter of NBA star Dennis Rodman, but when it comes to her taste in men, she’s opted for a different sport. Rodman’s boyfriend, Benson, began his career as a wide receiver for the Denver Broncos in 2019.
He is currently a free agent for the NFL, meaning he’s been free to cheer for Rodman at the summer Olympics. Benson reposted a Team USA post about his girlfriend’s skills in August 2024, adding a GIF of the athlete as a subtle nod to her.
See the couple’s — who have nicknamed themselves “Trinity squared” — romance from the start below:
