Wimbledon Video Showing Trinity Rodman Staring at Boyfriend Ben Shelton Goes Viral originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
During Thursday’s slate of matches at Wimbledon, much of the talk centered on American tennis star Ben Shelton and his suspended clash with Rinky Hijikata.
Shelton and Hijikata’s second-round showdown was temporarily suspended at 9:29 p.m. local time due to darkness. Much to the frustration and disappointment of Shelton, it was only halted when he was about to serve for match point — about half an hour after he had requested the umpire to stop the match at the end of the second set.
That means Shelton will have to return on Friday to finish their battle. The ATP world no. 10 won the first two sets 6-2, 7-5 and was up 5-4 in the third set before the match suspension. Should he move on to the third round, Shelton won’t have a full day of rest.
While the suspension remains a hot topic in the tennis world, Shelton also went viral for a different reason: his girlfriend, soccer star Trinity Rodman.
Rodman was in attendance for Shelton’s match with Hijikata, sitting in the box seats in the front row where she could see her man clearly.
Cameras caught Rodman looking at her boyfriend with deep affection, a moment that quickly went viral on social media.
ESPN posted a clip of the adorable moment, garnering nearly two million views at the time of writing and generating plenty of comments.

“Find yourself someone who looks at you like Trinity,” a commenter wrote. Another one echoed a similar sentiment, noting, “Find a woman who looks at you this way.”
A fan added, “Wish someone could look at me the same way.”
“Love eyes,” a supporter gushed.
“I may have to start watching tennis again,” a viewer remarked.
A sixth social media user stated, “She is in a euphoric state.”
Ben Shelton and Trinity Rodman sparked dating rumors early in March, according to People. Less than two weeks later, they made their relationship Instagram official.
Shelton and Rodman are considered one of the most popular sports power couples. While Shelton is a rising tennis star, Rodman is an Olympic soccer champion with Team USA and a star for the Washington Spirit in the NWSL.
