They are back! The rumors about Sha’Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman breaking up. The couple has been in the news more for rumors of their falling apart than for their performance on the track this season. Back in June, the Olympian had taken to her official X handle to drop quote after quote, one of them being, “even when you trust someone, keep somethings to yourself,” strengthening the speculation. But back then, she shut them down, just like she has reignited them now.

On June 16, Sha’Carri Richardson shared a playful Instagram story, showing off a tiny frog she found in her backyard while lounging by the pool. Holding it calmly in her hand, she mentioned it wasn’t her first frog encounter. Behind her, sprinter Christian Coleman leaned over, clearly hesitant to get close, admitting he didn’t want to touch it. Richardson, amused by his reaction, teased him while the frog tried to wriggle free, adding to the lighthearted moment. This had led the fans to believe that things were great between the two, but now the rumors are alive and kicking because of two new posts from the 25-year-old.

“📣It’s time for a change.” This was the caption of the post she shared today, accompanied by a selfie from her car, where she is seen wearing a seatbelt. What kind of change was she talking about, though? Once you enter the comment section, you will find comments like, “Coleman done ducked up!!!!! This is a message coded to him!!! She outside!!!!” While the rumors had started, they gained traction with another post.

Her second post today was in the same attire, just now that she was sitting in a chair and somebody had clicked her. The caption? “@tamedbybri EVERYTIME!! Tell your mama the truth.” The tagged person is a licensed cosmetologist who did the Olympian’s hair, but they were not the source of rumors. It was a comment she liked. There was a comment under her post that said, “Coleman Out?” And Sha’Carri Richardson had liked it.

Although later she limited the comments on that post, that one like drew considerable notice, and the rumors had been aired. And before all of this, she had uploaded an Instagram story that might have been the source of all these rumors. On a white background, she wrote, “God changed my appetite baby, you not even my type no more.” The question now looms in the air: Is there trouble in paradise?

Sha’Carri Richardson has been giving mixed signals

Sha’Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman officially confirmed their romantic relationship in early February 2025, when she posted heartfelt Instagram photos together with him and captioned it as: “Even from the down under, still going up.” However, in the past few months, their heaven seems to be in trouble. In February of this year, right before Valentine’s Day, Sha’Carri raised eyebrows when she unfollowed Coleman on Instagram. She then posted an Instagram story of herself alone in a car with the caption “Solo,” followed by another story featuring Beyoncé’s Me, Myself and I.

Despite the apparent tension, the situation quickly shifted; within hours, they re-followed each other and went on to celebrate Valentine’s Day together, seemingly back on good terms. But it happened again after four months. On June 10, she reposted a quote on Instagram that read: “even when you trust someone, keep somethings to yourself.” Her caption? “My therapist told me this yesterday!” Fans took this as a subtle hint that something was wrong between the couple, but then she shut it down with the frog video. But-

On June 21, 2025, Sha’Carri shared lyrics from Cardi B’s Outside, a verse where the 32-year-old raps about ending her relationship with estranged husband Offset, as reported by Billboard. She captioned the story, “Yes Ma’am!!!!!!” In the very next story, she posed a picture of herself in an all black outfit, and at the bottom right of it was once again a screenshot. This time, it is the lyrics of the song that read, “I been cuffed up too long, let me remind **** (Yeah).” But again, something happened that shut it down.

On June 4, 2025, Sha’Carri reshared a photo from the Prefontaine Classic press conference with a heartfelt message for Christian Coleman: “Having a partner that not only do what you do but also understands is a feeling that is worth more than gold.” It was her way of silencing rumors—showing they were still going strong despite recent drama. Do you think that this is it this time around?
