“One day I will receive the love I give out.” This X post by Sha’Carri Richardson stayed online momentarily on June 13, before the track star took it down. But those few hours were enough to light a spark that something was wrong. Around the same time, the name “Christian Coleman” vanished from her Instagram following list. And hers from his. Coincidence? Maybe not. The dots were connecting to a bigger picture…

Sha’Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman’s social media activity was hinting that there could have been some trouble in the lovers’ paradise. The 2x Paris Olympics medalist, Richardson, was also reposting a multitude of quotes on X, one of them being, “even when you trust someone, keep somethings to yourself,” strengthening the speculation. But her latest move, just 3 days after this, on June 16, is enough to deflate all these breakup rumors.

On June 16, Sha’Carri Richardson took to her Instagram stories to share a rare find in her backyard. Sitting in a chair by her pool, she said, “Look what we caught in the backyard.” She then flipped her camera and showed a little frog that she’d caught, placed calmly in her hand. She said, “I’m going to let him go y’all, but he’s not the first.” However, amid all the fun she was having with this unexpected encounter, we noted that Christian Coleman was standing right behind her, bending forward, over her chair, to be captured in the frame.

And Coleman wasn’t just a silent spectator; he remarked, “I don’t want to touch him,” all reluctant to come near the frog. Meanwhile, Sha’Carri Richardson, who was having all the fun with her little guest, responded sarcastically, “Because he’s scary y’all.” Well, Coleman agreed, “That’s what I heard.” But Richardson, on the other hand, was fearless. In fact, she was having the time of her life because when the little frog tried moving to jump out of her hand, she excitedly reacted, “Oh, he’s scared. He’s trying to get out. Look at him. He’s waiting too…”

Well, amid this peculiar encounter, at least the Coleman-Richardson fans got the assurance that the couple hasn’t gone their separate ways. They are very much together, as seen having their fun little banter in the video. In fact, just 3 days after the “unfollowing” incident, both Coleman and Richardson have popped right back up in each other’s Instagram follow lists now. This seals shut all the speculations of any cracks in their relationship!

In fact, on June 16, she also added a cryptic X post that read, “Moths fly towards the light, not the other way around.” This probably means that Sha’Carri is the light. Let the moths keep buzzing, because she’s too busy to chase the drama and rumors!

Sha’Carri Richardson and Coleman’s back and forth…

Yes, this isn’t the first time Sha’Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman are pulling off this follow-unfollow move. Back in February 2025, right around Valentine’s Day, Richardson brewed a social media storm when she unfollowed Coleman on Instagram. She strengthened those speculations with stories captioned, “Solo” and another one featuring Beyonce’s, “Me Myself and I.” Within hours of that, everything seemed fine, and they were following each other back. Well, this time, the same thing happened, but the resolution took 3 days.

Anyway, it would have been difficult to digest this split because just days ago, when Coleman had a bad run at the Seiko Golden Grand Prix, Sha’Carri was giving him the pep talk from the stands. Also, following his disappointing performance at GST Philadelphia, when he posted “Praise God” on Instagram, Sha’Carri didn’t hesitate to drop a simple but powerful comment, “1.” If anything, it only reaffirmed that he’s still number one in her eyes! And well, that love is still flourishing in their hearts.
