Where is Dennis Rodman? Looking at former NBA star as daughter Trinity competes at Women's World Cup image

Dennis Rodman is still going strong at 62 years old.

Between adding to his ink collection, making vlogs on YouTube, heading an apparel company and appearing at different events around the states like Pride and Sneaker Con, he's making the most of the "retired athletic legend" life with new girlfriend, rapper Yella Yella.

Rodman's name doubtless will be brought up at the 2023 Women's World Cup, where his daughter Trinity Rodman is part of the USWNT roster. She and the national team on Friday at 9 p.m ET. That said, Rodman and his daughter don't have a close relationship, as the 21-year-old shared on Instagram two years ago, so it's unsure if he will make the trip to the Gold Coast to support her.

With his daughter claiming the spotlight on the global stage, here's a look at some of the random side quests in Rodman's life have been commandeering his life:

Where is Dennis Rodman now?

The Hall of Famer has mostly been out of the news, but has shared glimpses into his life via his Instagram account. One of his more recent posts showed him getting some new ink at a tattoo parlor on July 8: a face on his face. But not just any face. It was the likeness of his girlfriend Yella Yella, whom he told TMZ was "very lovely."

"This is my last dance with a woman,” he told TMZ. "I thank her for loving me the way I am, and that's why I did it for her."

Curious what it looks like? Don't worry, he posted several videos promoting his latest influencer-esque vlog on his Instagram (warning: strong language used).

 

Rodman also heads an apparel brand — appropriately named Rodman Apparel — which has restocked its site. Rodman also posts on the ways his company creates the Dennis-centered articles of clothing:

Rodman also posted a celebration of Pride Month in Houston, donning a sick, green plaid and pleated mini skirt and a shirt (from his personal line, of course). The five-time NBA champion has long been a supporter of the LGBTQ+ community, so the Worm had no issues swatting away critics.

"Love Will Always Win," he wrote on Instagram.

It also appears Rodman was meant to attend Sneaker Con on Feb. 4 but, due to unforeseen circumstances, was unable to make an appearance. He did show face at the Chicago's sneaker convention Got Sole in March: He was recorded holding a pair of Air Jordan 1 High OG TS SP Travis Scott. He also called out the namesake the rapper for "stealing his design."

Dennis Rodman's family tree

Rodman has three children: Alexis, DJ and Trinity. Not all of them have great relationships with their father, though.

Alexis Rodman, 35, is the daughter of Rodman and his first wife, Annie Bakes. The eldest Rodman child is married and has a child of her own with her husband, making Dennis a grandfather. She has kept her life private, opting not to become an athlete like the rest of her family.

DJ Rodman, 22, is the second of Rodman's children and first with his third wife (and ex), Michelle Moyer. DJ Rodman followed in his father's footsteps and is pursuing a basketball career, having spent four years at Washington State. He announced in May he would transfer to USC to join LeBron James' son, Bronny, for his fifth and final year of eligibility.

Trinity Rodman, 21, is the second of Rodman and Moyer's children. She was inspired by her father's and has made an athletic career of her own in soccer. She originally committed to play for UCLA, but changed her mind to follow her brother to Washington State instead, according to the Seattle Times. Due to the pandemic, her freshman season was canceled and she instead went to the NWSL, completely forgoing a collegiate career.

She now plays forward for the Washington Spirit, where she was drafted second overall and as the youngest player ever at 18 years-old. She earned 2022 NWSL Rookie of the Year honors while leading the Spirit to their first NWSL title.

She is the second-youngest member of the USWNT roster for the 2023 FIFA World Cup.
