Dennis Rodman daughter, Trinity Rodman, is the definition of living up to a family legacy. Trinity is a professional footballer who is the next rising star of women’s football in the United States. Aged 21, the youngster is breaking records with US’ NWSL and is not only carving a name for herself in sports stardom but also making her father proud.
Dennis Rodman is a former NBA player who achieved success playing for teams such as Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks. Despite the fact he was one of the best players during his days, Rodman also had a reputation for being notorious and is the NBA poster bad boy.

Rodman had a troubled childhood and struggled to associate with his teammates, coaches and partners. As a result, he parted ways with the mother of his daughter and doesn’t share a close relationship with the Washington Spirit forward.
Dennis Rodman Daughter Was Raised By Her Mother
Dennis Rodman daughter Trinity was born on 20 May 2002, in California, United States, to the NBA star and his then wife Michelle Moyer. Despite Trinity’s father being a successful man who had an illustrious career in the NBA, she grew up without his love. She and her brother, DJ Rodman, were raised primarily by their mother in southern California.
“Growing up, people always thought that me and my dad had a close relationship and we never did. Living in Newport Beach, my dad was a little bit around, but was still in the party, NBA phase. He wasn’t in our lives.” Trinity told ESPN, as per Just Women’s Sports.

When Dennis Rodman surprised her daughter at a NWSL game, the two embraced but Trinity later made a post on social media stating that years can go by without them talking.
” My dad doesn’t play a big role in my life at all and most people don’t know that, we don’t see eye to eye on many things. 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.” She made the remarks, according to Daily Star.
Despite the ups and downs that the two have had over the years, Trinity credits her father for handing down his athletic genes.
