A few weeks ago, the two engaged in a subtle back-and-forth on the platform, posting videos with not-so-subtle codes for each other. Trinity’s post included three dashes (—) in the video’s text, while Ben responded with a “T******”, a clear nod to her name. Fans quickly put two and two together, and now, with this elevator selfie, it’s safe to say the guessing game is over.
Both Ben and Trinity are at the top of their respective sports—Ben made waves by reaching two major semifinals at the 2023 US Open and at the 2025 Australian Open, while Trinity is a rising star for the US Women’s National Team. Trinity played a pivotal role in USA’s victory at the 2024 Paris Olympics, scoring three goals and helping secure the gold medal.
Notably, Trinity is the daughter of NBA legend Dennis Rodman, but she has consistently expressed her desire to forge her own path. “Obviously, my dad created his own journey and his own legacy,” she has said. “My main goal is to be Trinity Rodman and create my own story.”
