Trinity wrote an Instagram Story on Monday, where she said she didn't like her personal life being discussed at Wimbledon, which came during the fourth-round match between Shelton and Lorenzo Sonego. 

Trinity also seemingly called out the ESPN team for mispronouncing her team. 

"I lost hope in ever getting him back, I answer the phone now for my conscience to be like, 'He needed to hear my voice' before anything happens," Trinity said at the time. "That's why I answer the phone, not for me. He's not a dad, maybe by blood, but nothing else."

Trinity has been nursing a back injury while supporting Shelton in London, where he is into the men's singles quarterfinals. His toughest test of the tournament will come when he faces top-seeded Jannik Sinner in the quarterfinals on Wednesday morning.
