And Sha’Carri’s man is making sure she doesn’t get stressed one bit in all this fiasco. What fiasco, you ask? Well, the Texan had just come out of a bad relationship, and Coleman is making sure that Richardson is having the time of her life as she deserves. However, their love tale got even better when one certain Swoosh decided to get involved. But what happened?
Well for that we need to go back to 6th March. But what was so special about this date? Well, it was Coleman’s birthday. And his girl made sure that his birthday was anything but sensational. The Texan made sure to make her man feel special in true go big or go down fashion. But now, Nike’s latest move is giving their partnership even more depth. Just last month, Christian Coleman appeared in the “Christian Coleman x Nike” promo.
Meanwhile, Sha’Carri has been with Nike since 2019 and signed a significant five-year, $20 million contract in December 2023. Recently, Christian shared an Instagram video where he wore her black Nike t-shirt with “Gold Medal” on it, styled with Sha’Carri’s signature hand extension pose. The shirt is part of her exclusive collection, “Sha’Carri Richardson: So Win,” and it symbolizes more than just fashion.

It’s about celebrating each other’s victories. While Christian was showing off the shirt and dancing, Sha’Carri was right there with him, filming the moment and even showing off some of her foot moves. Christian captioned it, “Exclusive SR merch otw yes sir,” tagging Sha’Carri in the post, highlighting how they’re lifting each other.

Sha’Carri even calls him “babe” in the video, showing that their support for one another is rooted in love, respect, and teamwork, both in their careers and in their relationship. And this isn’t the first time Sha’Carri Richardson has had Christian Coleman’s back! You could see it all over social media. Just look at Coleman’s tough race in the Paris Olympics men’s 4x100m relay, where the team got disqualified.
Back then, Sha’Carri reposted his Instagram story with a song in the background, showing that she was there for him, no matter what. But it’s not just online support—Sha’Carri’s been at almost every single one of Coleman’s events this season, even when she wasn’t competing herself. They’re always posting pics and messages on Instagram, too.
