Trinity Rodman, the Washington Spirit soccer player, playfully labeled her boyfriend Ben Shelton a "natural born cheater" during an Instagram Live stream, but there's no hidden drama behind it.

After withdrawing from the USA Open due to a shoulder injury in Set 5, Ben was spotted with Trinity, 23.

Definitely A Fun Sporting Couple

The pair engaged in friendly banter while playing a card game on September 5, 2026, with Ben attempting to skip explaining the rules.

Trinity teased him gently, saying, "No, no, no, you don’t explain it on purpose. You’re just a natural-born cheater."

The duo laughed off the moment, with Trinity admitting she’d forgotten to clarify the rule rather than intentionally misleading him.

Ben’s good humor shone through as he echoed the joke, turning the interaction into a shared laugh.

They’ve been supporting each other’s careers for over six months—Trinity attending tennis events, Ben cheering for soccer matches.

"My girlfriend took the red-eye from California last night to be here," Ben posted after Trinity attended the US Open.

Though Ben lost early in the third round, Carlos Alcarraz claimed his sixth Grand Slam title that day.
