In his interview with Town and Country Magazine on July 9, 2025, the winner of two singles titles on the ATP Tour, Ben Shelton, shared his views on being in the limelight as a professional player and manoeuvring through fame with rising soccer talent, Trinity Rodman, who won the NWSL Championships and two honors in the same year. He mentioned,

“The spotlight or attention, it seems to always to be on. Regardless of what I'm doing there will be someone talking about me or posting about me, and it's just the way life is these days. Obviously that's all positive stuff, so it is great."

He continued,

"It's been cool to get to know someone who goes through a lot of the same things in the spotlight, the media attention, playing for the United States, and the contrast between soccer and tennis and the similarities of both being professional athletes."

Rodman, who is recovering from her back injury, went on vacation with Shelton following his 2025 Wimbledon tournament, which ended with a quarterfinal-round loss to Jannik Sinner.
