USWNT star Trinity Rodman is used to the spotlight as her parents include former NBA star Dennis Rodman. Yes, Trinity is related to Dennis and her mother is Michelle Moyer.
Trinity has been open about the ups and downs of the relationship with her dad. Despite the connection, Trinity has expressed her desire to be known for her accomplishment on the field, rather than simply as “Dennis Rodman’s daughter.”

I go months if not years without his presence or communication.
“Being in spotlights has been hard for us, him and me. We don’t have the best relationship, but at the end of the day he’s human I’m human… he’s my dad, and I’m his little girl that will never change. I will improve and look forward everyday as I hope he does.”
