Trinity Rodman is debuting a new look. The American soccer icon was recently at the US Open, where she supported her boyfriend Ben Shelton, who played his first match yesterday. Shelton played against Tallon Griekspoor in a long and complex match that Shelton ended up winning.
Rodman was photographed in the stands cheering on Shelton and recording his winning points. She debuted some blonde curls courtside, stealing the show.
She complimented the look with a colorful Polo rugby shirt paired with a black skirt.

Rodman and Shelton have been dating over the past couple of years, with the two supporting each other on the stands. In the case of Rodman, she loves to support her partner and has been using the label WAG, which stands for ‘wife of an athlete.’ It’s a term that’s become controversial for different people.
“When you’re a pro athlete but also trynna be a wag,” she humorously captioned one of her TikToks.
She was recently featured on Kylie Kelce’s podcast “Not Gonna Lie,” where she revealed that she loves the label. “For me, I think I like the term personally because, like I said before, I feel like 24/7 I’m on in front of cameras … and so I think I use the term WAG for me to simplify what I’m doing,” Rodman said.

Rodman revealed that she and Shelton bond over their athleticism and their commitment to their careers. “It’s the best feeling in the world, honestly. I think to know we’re both on the grind, running our bodies to the ground, always exhausted, doing what we love, and then to also be able to be a little like a WAG in a sense, it feels so good for us,” she said.
