Who Is Trinity Rodman? Ben Shelton's 'WAG' Is the World's Highest-Paid Female Football Star

Trinity Rodman, dating tennis star Ben Shelton, is being positioned as the world’s highest-paid female football player after signing a landmark deal with the Washington Spirit. Born May 20, 2002, Rodman is the daughter of former NBA star Dennis Rodman and Michelle Moyer. Her father has acknowledged regret over not being more present in her life, including remarks in 2011 around his Naismith Hall of Fame induction. In January 2026, Rodman signed a three-year contract reportedly worth more than $2 million per year, including bonuses—described as the highest-value contract in NWSL history. She was drafted by the Spirit in 2021 at age 18 and has been with the U.S. women’s national team since 2022.
