The 22-year-old is a star athlete in women’s football in the US.

But Dennis Rodman barely knows his daughter Trinity. They may share the same genes and extraordinary athletic ability, but their relationship has been described by the media as strained and absent.

Although there have been some attempts at reconciliation, Trinity seems to be settling for simple “closure” when it comes to her relationship with her controversial dad, she said in an interview with the LA Times last July.

So what is their dynamic like exactly? Let’s take a closer look …

Dennis and his now ex-wife Michelle Moyer had a whirlwind few years together. They met in 1999 and welcomed their son Dennis Jr, aka DJ, in 2001. Then Trinity was born a year later, and Moyer and Dennis got married in a small civil ceremony the year after that, reports People magazine.
