Just a few days ago, the 2023 world champion Sha’Carri Richardson posted a picture on her Instagram with the caption, “📣It’s time for a change.”And that was all it took to set the rumor mill spinning. Fans dove headfirst into the comments, decoding the message like it was a breakup manifesto: “Coleman done ducked up!!!!! This is a message coded to him!!! She outside!” It might’ve ended there, just another round of brainstorming, if she hadn’t followed it up with a move no one saw coming…

Sha’Carri’s second post, right after this, from July 29th, was in the same attire. Dressed in the same outfit, she appeared casually seated while someone snapped the shot. The caption? “@tamedbybri EVERYTIME!! Tell your mama the truth.” The tag? A licensed cosmetologist responsible for the Olympian’s flawless hair. But what really stirred the pot was a comment under the post: “Coleman Out?” And Sha’Carri liked it. Oh yes, she did. To top it off, both posts were soundtracked by Cardi B’s Outside, featuring a verse where the rapper lays it all out about leaving estranged husband Offset. And now? The latest moves from Sha’Carri have only added fuel to the breakup fire.

First, fans noticed that the comments on the post were limited soon after her “like” went viral. Now, the comment section is back open, but the like is gone. The comment’s still there, but Sha’Carri’s silent stamp of approval has vanished. What really convinced fans that the breakup was real, though, was the sudden disappearance of several shared photos from both their Instagram accounts.

Yup, it has gone that far. One post that we can source dates back to February 15, when Christian Coleman dropped a carousel of images from his Valentine’s Day eve with Sha’Carri Richardson. Among the snaps was a cozy shot of her sitting on his lap in a red cut-out sleeve dress: total date night vibes. Sha’Carri even dropped a “😍😍😍😍OOOUUUU” in the comments. But that post? Nowhere to be found on Coleman’s feed. And there’s one more thing worth noting.

Sha’Carri formally confirmed rumors of dating Coleman by sharing a carousel of photos showing them together on a couple’s outing during Super Bowl weekend. The final slides feature them holding hands and posing intimately, and the caption reads, “Even from the down under, still going up.” This post is still on her feed. But all of it does not end here.

Sha’Carri Richardson sends a message

Right after this social media move, Sha’Carri Richardson then took to her Instagram story today to send yet another cryptic message that could be related to Christian Coleman. She shared an image of a 2025 calendar split into two rows. The top row, January to June, was fully shaded with the caption “this is done.” The bottom row, July to December, showed only July outlined, while the rest remained blank, accompanied by the phrase “this is up to you.” To top it off, she added, “I will be telling my truth soon.”

Relationship-wise, the post suggests that Sha’Carri and Coleman may have broken up or are going through a difficult phase. By marking the first half of the year as done, she could be signaling that part of their relationship is behind her emotionally. The phrase “this is up to you” hints that the future may depend on Coleman’s next steps. Her promise to “tell her truth” adds a personal, vulnerable note. The tension has been going on between the two for some time now.

In February this year, she had unfollowed Coleman, but then things were fine within days, and they were back to following each other. A similar pattern played out in June, when they both unfollowed each other, which fueled breakup rumors. Sha’Carri posted cryptic quotes, but then a playful Instagram story featuring Coleman and a tiny frog brushed off the rumors. Then again, the 2023 world champions shared personal, introspective quotes and breakup-themed lyrics from Cardi B that made fans wonder if things were falling apart.

But just as the speculation grew, she seemed to pull back, softening the tension with a warm post from the Prefontaine Classic, where she praised Coleman and called their bond “worth more than gold.” But then came her posts and a like on that comment. What do you think it is time? Is this the end?
