New Footage Of Kobe Bryant’s Daughter With LeBron James Goes Viral
Trinity Rodman: Soccer’s Rising Star—And the Daughter Who Confronted Her Father
Trinity Rodman, Olympic gold medal-winning forward for the U.S. Women’s National Team and a rising star in the NWSL, has made headlines not just for her athletic talent, but for her emotionally charged relationship with her father, Dennis Rodman.
In a candid December 2024 episode of Call Her Daddy, Trinity articulated her frustration: “He’s not a dad. Maybe by blood, but nothing else.” TalksportUS News She described financial hardship following her parents’ divorce—so severe that the family lived out of their SUV—coupled with Dennis’s alcoholism and lack of engagement. CNNPeople.com
Her emotions boiled over during a visit from her father in 2021 at an NWSL playoff game. “When he showed up at my game, I was, like, so mad … I started crying on the field,” she recounted, blaming him for spoiling a happy moment. US NewsPeople.com
Dennis followed up with a public Instagram apology:
“Sorry I wasn’t the Dad you wanted me to be… I will keep trying.” nbclosangeles.comPeople.com
Yet Trinity responded that it felt like “a joke” and affirmed she was “done.” People.com
To fans and commenters, the sting of her words resonated deeply:
“It really pissed me off that he decided to show up that game. It felt shallow and empty … about him more than her.” Reddit
2. Zaya Wade: Trans Advocate and Trailblazer in the Spotlight
Dwyane Wade’s youngest daughter, Zaya, has become a powerful figure in LGBTQ advocacy, and her coming-out journey has been met with unwavering parental support—a striking contrast to Trinity’s struggle.
Zaya came out as transgender in 2020, and Wade and his wife, Gabrielle Union, publicly affirmed her identity:
“We are proud parents of a child in the LGBTQ+ community and proud allies as well.” VoxESPN.com
Dwyane shared how he had to reflect on his own biases:
“What are you going to do if your child comes home and says… ‘I’m not a boy… I’m a trans girl.’?” The Independentthehill.com
He further admitted the emotional challenges he grapples with as a protective parent navigating societal dangers:
“I’m still afraid every moment she leaves the house… not because of gun violence, but because of the way people perceive her.” TIME
Zaya has embraced her platform with grace and purpose—modeling at Paris Fashion Week, gracing the cover of Dazed, and co-founding Translatable, a resource hub for LGBTQ+ youth. GlamourInStyle
In Their Words: The Conversations That Matter
Both stories reflect deeply human and divergent experiences:
Trinity Rodman’s truth comes with emotional scars, disappointment, and a fight not just on the field—but for emotional closure.
Zaya Wade’s truth radiates in dignity, led by a family determined to listen, support, and amplify her voice.
