Are the rumors actually true? Well, Sha’Carri Richardson, the reigning 100m World Champion, might have just dropped a major hint about her love life! For a long time now, whispers have been swirling about a potential romance between her and fellow Team USA track star, Christian Coleman. But has she just put the seal on the deal by making things Instagram official in the first few weeks of the new year?
On January 9, 2025, Sha’Carri Richardson took to Instagram and added a story featuring Coleman. The short clip showed him rocking an all-black outfit—just a simple t-shirt and Nike joggers—while the two chatted casually. Also, the video was taken on what looked like a farm, with Sha’Carri playfully captioning it “Farm Trip” along with some fun animal emojis. Could this be the confirmation everyone’s been waiting for?
If not confirmatory, Sha’Carri Richardson is surely teasing her fans with these brief tidbits! And this is hardly the first time. Previously, on December 14 when the two were enjoying some quiet time away from their hectic lives, the Texan girl had added a similar story. Flaunting Coleman’s decked-up look in a grey tracksuit, she’d captioned the story, “Da One” with a relieved face emoji. This was just days after the two were seen leaning against each other comfortably in yet another Instagram snippet.
But now, the tables have turned. On December 13, Sha’Carri Richardson was speaking to Shari Nycole when she opened up on how her current ‘person’ keeps her grounded. “I appreciate my relationship, my person that continues on a day-to-day basis, helps me just see who I am, critiques me, and lets me know my rights and my wrongs.” Well, even though she may not be putting a name on it, she’s truly in a good space now. And that’s clearly showing!
Sha’Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman ticking off goals together?
The equation between Richardson and Coleman isn’t limited to their off-track meet-ups or award night appearances. It’s also about training together! Yes, the two are in the same training group, under Dennis Mitchell, which also features other Olympic medalists like Kenny Bednarek and Melissa Jefferson. But while they both eye the 2025 World Championships in all seriousness, they are also having a little bit of fun on track!
Christain Coleman shared an adorable winter training video recently, featuring him and Sha’Carri Richardson, where the two were seen chained up in winter jackets and head warmers. At 44 degrees F, the two were vibing together on a song after putting in an exceptional practice on the track. “Great work today,” he wrote, hailing himself and Richardson for the efforts they put in as athletes, right before. Truly, they are ticking off goals together, be it athletic runs or fun farm trips. What do you think of their speculated relationships? Let us know below.
