A brief but noteworthy moment unfolded at the Madrid Open this week, as Coco Gauff and soccer star Trinity Rodman — girlfriend of ATP star Ben Shelton — finally crossed paths. Captured on video during the practice sessions, the interaction between Gauff and Rodman was remarkably quick, with their handshake lasting barely a second and no conversation following afterward.
The encounter has caught the attention of tennis and sports fans, particularly given the backdrop of past rumors linking Coco Gauff and Ben Shelton. Earlier this year, dating rumors swirled around the two young tennis stars, sparked by sightings of them spending time together during the 2025 Australian Open. From sharing ice cream outings to participating in an escape room experience, the pair’s growing friendship led many to speculate whether there might be something more between them.
However, Shelton has since publicly clarified that he and Gauff are simply good friends, putting to rest any romantic speculation. The presence of Trinity Rodman, a star athlete in her own right and a standout in U.S. women’s soccer, further emphasizes that Shelton is happily in a relationship.
Despite the brief nature of their encounter in Madrid, the moment between Gauff and Rodman has drawn interest simply because of the history and rumors surrounding the situation. Both young women are celebrated athletes in their respective fields, and their careers continue to skyrocket, independently of the media narratives that occasionally surround their personal lives.
