Trinity Rodman: The Record-Breaking Soccer Phenomenon
Trinity Rodman has become arguably the most recognizable and successful of Dennis Rodman’s children, establishing herself as a global star in professional soccer. Born in Newport Beach, California, Trinity forged a path distinct from her father’s sport, but inherited his competitive fire and sheer athleticism.
Her professional career began in 2021 when she was drafted second overall by the Washington Spirit in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) draft, making her the youngest player ever drafted in NWSL history.
Trinity’s impact was immediate, earning her the 2021 NWSL Rookie of the Year and the U.S. Soccer Young Female Player of the Year awards.
The financial magnitude of her success became clear in 2022 when she signed a four-year contract extension with the Washington Spirit worth $1.1 million, making her the highest-paid player in NWSL history at the time. As of 2024, her estimated net worth stands impressively at $2.6 million, a figure that continues to appreciate with her rising profile.
A Strained Paternal Relationship in the Spotlight
Despite her professional success, Trinity’s relationship with her father has been publicly strained and complex. She has been open about Dennis Rodman’s general absence during her childhood, a recurring theme in the Rodman family narrative.
In a highly publicized moment, Trinity called out her father’s public apology on social media, describing it as "a joke" and highlighting the difference between a public performance and genuine, private effort.
However, she acknowledges that she has modeled aspects of her game—specifically her tenacity, aggressiveness, and defensive mindset—after watching her father’s basketball highlights. Trinity continues to build her own legacy, a powerful story of carving out success independent of her father's fame while representing the US Women's National Team (USWNT), including participation in the 2024 Olympics.
DJ Rodman: Forging His Own Path in Professional Basketball
Dennis "DJ" Rodman Jr. has chosen to follow in his father's footsteps, but on his own terms, pursuing a career in professional basketball. Born in 2001, DJ Rodman played five seasons of college basketball, a journey that saw him develop from a high-energy role player into a respected forward.
He spent his undergraduate years at Washington State University (WSU), where he became a key player for the Cougars. His final collegiate season was spent as a graduate student at the University of Southern California (USC), a move that provided him with a new platform to showcase his skills.
After going undrafted in the 2024 NBA Draft, DJ Rodman quickly transitioned to the professional level. He signed with the Greensboro Swarm, the NBA G League affiliate of the Charlotte Hornets, to begin his professional journey.
DJ's playing style is often described as high-motor and defensive-minded, traits that clearly echo his father's Hall of Fame career. However, he has focused on being a more well-rounded player, developing his shooting and offensive game. His current focus is on proving his worth in the G League, with the ultimate goal of earning a spot on an NBA roster.
Alexis Rodman: The Private Elder Sister
Alexis Rodman, the eldest of Dennis Rodman's children, stands in stark contrast to her younger, high-profile siblings. Born in 1988, Alexis is the daughter of Rodman and his first wife, former model Annie Bakes.
Unlike Trinity and DJ, Alexis has chosen a life almost entirely outside the public eye. She has consciously avoided the celebrity spotlight that has followed her father and half-siblings, preferring to maintain a high degree of privacy.
While details about her current profession are scarce, it is known that Alexis is a mother. Her choice to live a private life is respected by the family and is a significant part of the Rodman family's complex narrative, representing a deliberate step away from the media circus that often surrounds the Rodman name.
The Rodman Family's Unique Athletic Legacy
The Rodman family story is a remarkable one in sports history. The patriarch, Dennis Rodman, is a five-time NBA champion, a two-time NBA All-Star, and a Hall of Famer, renowned for his defensive prowess and rebounding ability.
The next generation, however, has expanded this legacy into new arenas. Trinity Rodman's rise as a top-tier professional soccer player and DJ Rodman's pursuit of a professional basketball career demonstrate a powerful, inherited athletic gene.
The Rodman children are not merely riding on their father’s coattails; they are actively defining their own success. Trinity is building a legacy in a sport where her father had no presence, and DJ is navigating the difficult path to the NBA, one step at a time through the G League. This current generation is proving that the Rodman name is not just about the past, but a continuing story of elite athleticism and determination across two different major American sports. Their individual journeys—from Trinity’s record-breaking contract to DJ’s professional debut—cement the Rodman family as one of the most uniquely successful multi-sport families in modern athletics.
