Soccer star Trinity Rodman gives an inside look into relationship with Ben Shelton at the French Open
US women's national soccer team star Trinity Rodman gave a behind-the-scenes look into her relationship with Ben Shelton, as the American dynamo competed at the French Open.
Dennis Rodman's daughter was in Paris to watch her man storm to the last 16 of the men's singles draw.
Shelton ran into Carlos Alcaraz at Roland Garros, losing one step away from the quarterfinals on clay.
Shelton's stay in the French capital looked to be filled with time with Rodman when not competing, as the injured Washington Spirit forward shared a video of her time in Paris to her Instagram.
The video was captioned 'No one else' with white-heart emoji and began with the pair holding hands and walking down a Parisian street.
Then came a jump-cut to another day, where the couple are again holding hands and crossing the street.

The duo hard-launched their relationship in March, a few months before their time in Paris
Rodman, 23, then shared a snap of the two kissing in the Paris night, seemingly after a nice dinner, which there was also a photo of in the reel.
The video ended with Rodman showing Shelton in sweats, appearing to be transported to Roland Garros for a match.
Shelton is part of the current American renaissance, alongside Frances Tiafoe, Tommy Paul, and Taylor Fritz, chasing the likes of Jannik Sinner, Alcaraz, and Novak Djokovic for major titles.
The duo hard-launched their relationship in March, a few months after Shelton competed in the Australian Open.
Shelton will not have to wait long for his next major opportunity, with Wimbledon beginning on June 30.
Rodman's timeline for a return to the field is unknown, as she is dealing with a back injury.

Nicola Peltz hires Harvey Weinstein's ‘attack dog' PR to ‘crisis manage' her image amid Beckham family feud
NICOLA Peltz has hired Harvey Weinstein's former PR guru to help manage her image amid her ongoing feud with the Beckham family. According to reports, Nicola has enlisted the services of Hollywood's go-to crisis management specialist Matthew Hiltzik, who is described as an "attack dog". 6 6 6 6 The fearsome PR guru is "known for his aggressive manner" claims the Daily Mail, and makes it his mission to "bulldoze the press on both sides of the Atlantic into not printing any negative stories about his clients." The publication reports that Nicola has taken on the bullish publicist who has been described as "the most hardcore PR in America" and will "go to war" for the actress as the fallout with her in-laws plays out in the media. "He can be rude and agressive and that's why people hire him," a source is quoted as saying in the report. "It's a real statement that Nicola wants to bullishly lead the narrative . It's very telling just how desperate she is to come out of this looking good." Nicola is said to have taken a page out of her billionaire father Nelson Peltz's playbook, with the entrepreneur having raised her to "be a rottweiler" when it comes to business. Hiltzik famously represented film producer Weinstein, as well as Johnny Depp during his legal battle with ex wife Amber Heard. He has also been taken on by YouTuber Mr Beast, aka Jimmy Donaldson, after a series of allegations were made against the Beast Games creator. "Nicola hiring Hiltzik shows her determination to be in control of the narrative," says an insider. It comes after Nicola was labelled a "mean girl" in a series of articles, and she has also faced accusations that she is "controlling" Brooklyn. The couple certainly put on a united front i n a loved-up cover shoot with Glamour Germany this week. "You have to marry your best friend, someone you feel at home with. For me, Nicola is exactly that," Brooklyn said. Peltz-Beckham's respond to reports of family feud Nicola also dismissed claims she is a 'narcissistic monster', calling such reports "fake news" and added: "I'd love to deny it immediately, but it's not worth it.' As well as Hiltzik, Brooklyn and Nicola have also taken on Harry and Meghan's lawyer Jenny Afia. The appointment comes after the two couples hit it off at a dinner party in Montecito, California recently. And it appears as these efforts are a bid to reignite Nicola's film career after she feels her reputation has been damaged. "There is a lot at stake for Nicola," a source told the Mail. "Acting is where her heart is and there is no way she will want all of this noise going on to affect her chances of succeeding 6 6

Britain's Hannah Klugman loses girls' French Open final in straight-sets
Britain's Hannah Klugman, 16, was beaten 6-2, 6-0, by Austrian 17-year-old Lilli Tagger in front of a packed Court at the girls' final match of the French Open at the Roland-Garros, Paris. The loss crushes the 13th ranked junior player's hopes of becoming the first Brit to take home the French Open girls' title since 1976 - when Michelle Tyler won the top prize. Speaking after her match, Klugman said: "I knew it was going to be tough. "I definitely really, really struggled today, physically. You know, my first ever slam final in juniors. "I'm so proud of myself. It's just something to build on and get better. Coming home with a trophy is pretty cool and I can't wait for the next few months coming up." Her opponent Lilli Tagger becomes the first Austrian player to win a junior singles title at the French Open, improving on her previous best result - reaching the quarterfinals at the Australian Open this year. Tagger won this title without dropping a single set in the entire tournament and saving all five break points in her final match against Klugman. She is currently placed 47th in the girl's world tennis tour rankings. Hannah Klugman will now set her sights on the grass season and a potential wildcard for Wimbledon, where she played in 2024. "I don't really know the situation," she said. "But I'm definitely having a few days off before I start playing a tournament. "Hopefully I'll play Nottingham and then from then on, I'm really not sure - that kind of depends on all the wildcards and the opportunities I get."

Simone Biles slams ‘sore loser' Riley Gaines over attacks on trans athlete
Seven-time Olympic gold medallist Simone Biles has publicly condemned former competitive swimmer Riley Gaines for her repeated attacks on transgender athletes, calling Gaines 'sick' and a 'sore loser' in a strongly worded social media post. The exchange erupted Friday night after Gaines mocked the Minnesota State High School League for turning off comments on a post celebrating Champlin Park High School's girls' softball team, which had just won the state championship. One of the team's players is a transgender girl. 'This championship was hijacked,' Gaines wrote on X, referring to the student-athlete as 'a boy' and ridiculing the league for disabling comments 'lol'. Biles, the most decorated gymnast of all time with 11 Olympic and 30 world championship medals, had seen enough. In a rare foray into online confrontation, she reposted Gaines' tweet and responded with a direct rebuke. 'You're truly sick,' Biles wrote. 'All of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser.' @Riley_Gaines_ You're truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser. You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender… The post referenced Gaines' performance at the 2022 NCAA championships, where she tied for fifth with Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer. Since then, Gaines has built a prominent public profile lobbying against the inclusion of transgender women in women's sports, becoming a fixture on right-wing media outlets and appearing alongside Donald Trump as he signed an executive order banning trans girls and women from competing in women's sports. But Biles didn't stop there. 'You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports,' she wrote. 'Maybe a transgender category IN ALL SPORTS!! But instead… You bully them… One thing for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!' In a follow-up post, Biles added: 'Bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male.' bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male @Riley_Gaines_ Gaines quickly fired back, calling Biles' remarks 'so disappointing' and insisting: 'Men don't belong in women's sports and I say that with my full chest.' A 12-time All-American swimmer at the University of Kentucky, Gaines has used her tie with Thomas as the basis for a national campaign opposing transgender inclusion in sports. She has frequently misgendered athletes in public forums and has drawn criticism from LGBTQ+ advocates and athletes alike for singling out individuals, often minors, by name on social media. In the case of Champlin Park, Gaines made multiple posts about the transgender pitcher, even mentioning the player by name and referring to her with male pronouns, despite the team's vocal support for their teammate. The Rebels won the Class 4A title game 6-0. 'She's a great kid and a great teammate,' one coach told local media after the game. 'Her teammates love having her out there.' The comments from Biles, who has long championed mental health awareness and survivor advocacy, drew swift backlash from conservative commentators, who accused the Olympic champion of hypocrisy and attention-seeking. Outkick, the right-leaning sports outlet where Gaines is a regular contributor, called her remarks 'self-contradicting'. Gaines reposted several replies from fans who echoed her position, arguing that Biles was undermining women's sports and confusing the issue by suggesting a separate transgender category. 'It's not my job or the job of any woman to figure out how to include men in our spaces,' Gaines wrote in response. Other conservative influencers piled on, questioning why Biles chose to weigh in and accusing her of 'siding with men' in women's athletics. 'If trans participation isn't a big deal, why propose a separate division?' one post read, summing up a recurring critique in her mentions. Despite the backlash, Biles has not walked back her comments. Supporters praised her for using her platform to defend marginalized athletes and push back against what they view as a pattern of bullying and scapegoating by Gaines.
