“Us vs. the World.” Sha’Carri Richardson said it last month but was she talking about Track or her and Christian Coleman? Fans are convinced it’s the latter. Lately, Richardson has been lighting up the internet, not just with her speed but with a social media post that screams head over heels. Their dating rumors kicked off in the spring of 2023 when they were spotted at a track meet in Jamaica. Then, they popped up together at the Paris Olympics, where Richardson flexed with a silver in the 100m and gold in the 4x100m relay. And now? Coleman’s about to level up—on March 6, he’s officially out of his twenties.

The big 3-0 is right there, and guess who’s making sure he kicks off this new era in style? Richardson clearly went all out because Coleman’s birthday setup was serious. The guy posted an Instagram story with balloons in the lobby, a cake on the counter, and two mysterious envelopes labeled “Card 1” and “Card 2.”

And let’s not ignore the secret gift—because what’s a birthday without an element of mystery? Honestly, she might’ve set the bar too high. How’s he supposed to top this when it’s her turn? Coleman, fully in his feelings, tagged Richardson and wrote, “Last year of my twenties. Big 29. Blessings! Grateful for it all!! Thank you, God!” But wait—did Sha’Carri Richardson post anything for her boyfriend? Well, not directly—because, let’s be real, she loves a good mind game.

Just two minutes after Coleman’s story, Richardson shared her own story—but in the most cryptic way possible. She posted an image of a hibiscus flower in different stages of bloom, captioned with a deep, introspective message: “In March, I will…” Then start with the initial stage of a flower new beginning with message about growth, new beginnings, and trusting the timing of the journey. Translation?

She’s stepping into something new—and it looks like she’s bringing Coleman along for the ride. But let’s wait for the official story! But hey, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. An official relationship confirmation might still be on the way, but let’s be real—they almost made it official just a few weeks ago! But that’s not all. Just when everyone thought this was it, came more stories.

Richardson posted a series of stories congratulating Coleman on his birthday. She uploaded a two-part story of them, with one in the SuperBowl finals and then in a storefront with the caption “Happy Birthday.”  This was followed by more goofy stories of Coleman trying to eat a display Burger through a hole in a table . But the biggest one was her story, where she uploaded a story with the caption, “Happy Birthday To My Person, thank you for being You.” The both of them are making it quite obvious now.

Sha’Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman aren’t even trying to hide it anymore

These two aren’t even trying to be low-key anymore. Sha’Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman have been dropping hints left and right, and fans are eating it up. Back in mid-February, Coleman posted a cozy pic of Richardson sitting on his lap, making their “just friends” act even harder to believe. Richardson was all over it, throwing heart-eye emojis in the comments before reposting it to her Instagram story.

Then came the Super Bowl, where she casually called Coleman

Baby like it was no big deal. At this point, the secret’s not just out—it’s doing a victory lap. And just in case that wasn’t enough, on February 22, Richardson turned up the heat with a pic of them posing in front of a casino, captioned Us vs. the World.

Coleman, looking sharp in a black tee, jacket, and grey jeans, stood next to Richardson, who matched his vibe in a maroon tee, black cap, and grey shorts. Their chemistry has been obvious for months. Dating rumors began swirling in spring 2023 when fans spotted them at a track meet in Jamaica. By the time Richardson stacked medals at the Paris Olympics—silver in the 100m and gold in the 4x100m relay—they were already connecting the dots.

Off the track, they’re just as inseparable. Case in point: Valentine’s Day. The couple pulled up to a Katt Williams show, where the comedian himself gave Sha’Carri Richardson a special shoutout. Coleman, ever the proud boyfriend, filmed the moment and posted it with a caption about how his Valentine had completely taken over the show. Now, the only question left is—when are they finally going to stop playing and make it official? Only time will tell!
