American tennis sensation Ben Shelton, who is having one of his better seasons, got candid about his off-court life in a recent interview. Ben Shelton recently took his relationship with Trinity Rodman public, and she has also been attending Shelton’s tennis matches in his box.

Ben Shelton also has a very close relationship with his fellow American tennis stars. Coco Gauff is one such name, that he has forged a bond with on the tour. They appear to be good friends and have been seen hanging around together at tennis tournaments. In the past though Shelton has had to shut down rumors of him being in a relationship with Coco, which was one of the primary reasons, why he went public with his relationship with Trinity.

However, when Ben Shelton was asked if he would go out on a double date with Coco and her rumored boyfriend, Shelton remained hesitant.

“Not the biggest double date guy, to be honest,” said Shelton, as he spoke about his tie-up with Thorne’s Sports Performance campaign.

“More of a normal date guy,” continued Shelton. “But I guess we’ll see. Definitely have a lot of friends who are in long-term relationships, but for it to match up where we’re all in the same place at the same time is unlikely,” he added.

Ben Shelton has already made a name for himself on the tour with some high-profile wins, and is now poised to break into the ATP top 10 rankings. As Shelton juggles his professional and dating life, it does look like Shelton has found love and peace in his relationship with Trinity Rodman.
