After a year filled with lots of ups and downs for Sha’Carri Richardson, the athlete hinted at very exciting news in her personal life. The Olympic gold medalist started dropping hints about a relationship with fellow US track star Christian Coleman. This started for the first time on December 14th when Sha’Carri posted a photo with Christian and captioned it saying, “Da One.” alongside an emoji that depicted a shelter, which could signify a comfort place for the athlete.

After this post, the couple was spotted publicly for the first time since the rumors began at the USATF event in Florida. Sha’Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman were acting extremely affectionate towards each other there and even posed for a picture together. Thus, this has given the rumors more wings. Now, another appearance together refuses to let the idea of a relationship die down.

Sha’Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman attend track and field award show together

With relationship rumors still rife, Sha’Carri Richardson and Chris Coleman have hinted again at the fact that the duo are a couple. This is because they made a public appearance together at a very prestigious track and field award show called Bowerman, which awards the best NCAA athletes in track and field in a particular year.

In an X post by Coach Paul Zavala, who is currently the track coach at the University of Illinois-Chicago, the individual can be seen posing for a selfie alongside the rumored track couple. He captioned the post saying, “Oh, hey, it’s Sha’Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman.” The upbeatness of the caption might hint at a slight nod to the ongoing relationship rumors between both athletes.

This is the second appearance of both Sha’Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman together since the rumors of the relationship started becoming quite concrete after USATF. It is bound to give more fuel to the rumors, as fans would probably now see it in a different light as neither athlete is really distancing themselves from it. Thus, it seems we really might have a new track and field power couple, Sha’Carri Richardson and Chris Coleman.

Timeline of a possible relationship between Sha’Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman

While it is difficult to say when exactly a relationship started brewing between Sha’Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman, connecting the dots with certain events could really help in getting a clearer picture. In fact, some fans always had the thought that the two might be more than just track colleagues, given their constant public declaration of admiration for each other.

This dates back to the 2023 World Championships in Budapest when Sha’Carri Richardson had just ended her relationship with Jamaican athlete Janeek Brown. Christian Coleman was seen celebrating Sha’Carri’s gold medal victory with immense delight as he ran up to the track to hug the athlete. This was the first time fans thought something might be going on here.

Another instance of this was seen during the 2024 Millrose games, where only Christian was competing among the duo. However, Sha’Carri Richardson still attended the event, cheering for her rumored boyfriend from the stands. Furthermore, they have also been on vacations together. Also, they share the same coach, Dennis Mitchell. Thus, it seems that the rumors of a relationship might really be correct here. Let’s see if the duo provides the fans with confirmation in the coming days.
