    Ben Shelton’s Star Girlfriend Trinity Rodman Should Be Celebrated As ‘The Face Of NWSL’, says $170,000,000 Team’s Co-Owner

    Ben Shelton’s girlfriend, Trinity Rodman, is a prominent soccer player who represents the USWNT internationally and plays for the Washington Spirit in the NWSL. Since being drafted into the league in 2021, Rodman has quickly grown in stature for her prowess on the field and her mesmerizing qualities off it.

    Reflecting on the 23-year-old’s impact in the NWSL and the sport overall, Leslie Osborne, the owner and founder of the Bay FC team, valued at $170 million and playing in the NWSL, praised Rodman and said the Spirit star should be treated as ‘the face of the NWSL’ during an exclusive interview with Front Office Sports.

    “I don’t know if we have a female player like Messi, but Trinity Rodman is a star. I think she’d be the face of this league. Trinity Rodman is so talented, and I love who she is. She’s authentic, she shows up, she’s diverse, she’s bold, she’s fierce. The way she plays on the field, the way she carries herself, we need more,” Osborne said.

    “But Trinity Rodman, if we would have lost her, it would have set us back. We’ve already lost top players. We were not going to lose Trinity to international clubs for more money. Yeah, we’ve got restraints that they don’t. Losing Trinity would have been a huge loss for us,” she added.

    Rodman signed a contract extension with the Spirit in January during the offseason, keeping her with the team through at least the 2028 season. Under the terms of the new contract, Rodman has now become the highest-paid women’s soccer player globally.

    While Rodman works her magic on the field, off it, she loves spending time with her loved ones and supporting them in their endeavors, especially Shelton, who recently won the Dallas Open by beating fellow American Taylor Fritz in the final.

    Ben Shelton Withdrew From Acapulco to Solely Focus on the Upcoming Masters 1000 Events on Home Soil

    After winning his first ATP 500 event of the year, Shelton was ecstatic. While everyone expected the American to play the Mexican Open in Acapulco, he announced his withdrawal, citing the need to regain his energy levels and shift his focus to the first two Masters 1000 events of the season.

    The Indian Wells Open starts on March 2, while the Miami Open starts on March 16. For now, all the top seeds in men’s tennis have been included in the main draws of the two highly anticipated ATP events, and Shelton will have another chance to finally get a win against any one of the top 3 seeds.
