Tennis rising star Ben Shelton and soccer phenom Trinity Rodman might be one of sports’ coolest power couples — but don’t expect to see them sharing dinner dates with Coco Gauff and her mystery boyfriend anytime soon.
In a recent interview that’s now making waves online, sources close to the couple revealed that Shelton and Rodman have politely declined double date invitations from Gauff and her new beau — and fans are wondering: What’s the deal?
“They’re cool with Coco, but they just like to keep their private time really private,” one insider shared.
Apparently, Ben and Trinity are all about keeping things low-key when it comes to their off-court romance — opting for chill nights, no cameras, and minimal drama.
And according to the source, it’s not shade — just strict boundaries.
“They’re super focused on their careers and don’t want the pressure or attention that comes with being part of a ‘celebrity couple crew,’” the insider added.
Meanwhile, Coco Gauff — known for being friendly and outgoing — hasn’t commented publicly, but fans are speculating there’s no bad blood, just different vibes.
Some online are praising Shelton and Rodman for protecting their space:
“Honestly, good for them. Not everyone wants to be a PR couple.”
Others are curious if there’s more going on behind the scenes…
As all four athletes continue to dominate their respective sports, one thing’s for sure:
They’re winning on their own terms — with or without a group date night.
