“Bet y’all didn’t know your fav sprinter can write with her feet lol,” Remember Sha’Carri Richardson’s 25th birthday when Christian Coleman revealed her habit of writing with her feet, out in the open? That moment gave fans a peek into their playful dynamic! Well, looks like it’s time for Richardson to let a few secrets about Coleman out of the bag, too! Curious to know what those are? Well, surprisingly, the secret Richardson has spilled it’s not something from the tracks!
When Sha’Carri Richardson confessed, “I told my boyfriend I’m in my soft, rich girl era,” at the MET last month, it looked like Christian Coleman was well updated on all that goes on with his girlfriend. And why not? They’re both pro athletes who run for the same country. They train under the same mentor. And of course, they’re in a relationship. But, we might now have more reason to say that Coleman might know Richardson a bit too well! Here’s how.
Taking to her Instagram stories on June 5, Sha’Carri Richardson posted a creator’s reel that she probably found relatable. As soon as the video starts, the on-screen text reads, “My man telling me that girl ain’t your friend and now we not friends,” over a short clip of a couple, content creators @mayanaandjarrell. The clip shows a man bragging over a voiceover that says, “Told you, I told you, I told you,” to his girlfriend. The girlfriend then claps back, saying, “You didn’t tell me s–t.” Well, the playful banter is all in good humor, but the message is clear. The boyfriend was spot on about who was real and who wasn’t in his girlfriend’s life.
Now, are you wondering how this relates to Sha’Carri Richardson and Coleman? Well, Sha’Carri reposted this reel on her story and added the caption, “ Christian be on it.” She seems to be playfully calling out a habit of his! And it is safe to say that she was hinting at a very real dynamic in their relationship that Christian always reads the room. And keeps a sharp eye for spotting the genuine ones.
After all, Sha’Carri Richardson herself has a very authentic personality. This is something that even Michael Johnson praised her for last year. He said, “I think Sha’Carri is a very good example of an athlete who is not copying any previous greats to make an impact in the sport.” Plus, as Sha’Carri has already confessed, she’s in her soft girl era too. So maybe, considering all these aspects, Coleman is looking out for her as her boyfriend.
However, the other way around is also true. It’s not just Coleman, but Sha’Carri Richardson often comes to his rescue too, but in a completely different way. Especially lately, while he’s having a terrible season on the track.
Sha’Carri Richardson got jokes, and his back as well!
After the Grand Slam Track in Philadelphia, where Christian Coleman made his Grand Slam Track debut, it was obvious that he wasn’t happy with his stint. And how could he be? In the 200m race, the one that he ran on Day 1, he faded to a 6th finish. And visibly, he wasn’t satisfied with it. His body language didn’t look at ease, and before heading to the locker room, he went over to the stands where Sha’Carri Richardson comforted him.
From above the stands, Sha’Carri Richardson could be seen speaking to him (looked like she was affirming him) while Coleman mostly nodded in agreement. She then reached out for his hand, and the two had their signature shake, consisting of a few different moves. But, maybe something as simple as a signature handshake added a layer of comfort for him, that she’s there.
And now, off the track, we may have another reason to say that Coleman’s got her back. Well, we already knew this when Coleman confessed it on her birthday, “I got your back more than your spine do.” Now we know more about this, how he seems to be warning her about the fake ones in life. Aren’t these two simply giving us relationship goals? Let us know what you think below!
