It looks like soccer star Christian Pulisic and his girlfriend, golfer Alexa Melton, have split, and the split seems pretty ugly.
At the end of last year, the star striker, who is the captain of the US men’s national team, had to shut down rumors that he was dating Sydney Sweeney, but apparently not everything can be fixed.
Indeed, Melton appeared to suggest that Pulisic was not entirely faithful before walking back the claim.

“Mans was at Raya before it even ended,” Melton said in an Instagram comment, according to the New York Post. Raya is a subscription celebrity dating app.
“How many like to post his Raya profile,” Melton said in another comment, the outlet noted.
Melton, however, seemed to back off a bit.
“I made some comments about a private matter and it was taken out of context. I received false information. He is not a cheater. Any narrative beyond that is not mine,” Melton said in a recent Instagram story. “Out of respect for Christian’s and my privacy, I will not comment further on this matter.”

AMERICAN WORLD CUP HOPE HITS AFTER STAR PLAYER SPOILS ACHILLES
Pulisic had been dating Melton since at least the summer of 2024. Melton played college golf at USC and competed in the 2024 US Women’s Open. She has mostly competed on the women’s Epson Tour, but not since 2024.
Sweeney, meanwhile, has been linked with music manager Scooter Braun, who has worked with Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift.
Pulisic will suit up for the Stars and Stripes this summer at the 2026 World Cup, which will be played across North America. The final will take place on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, home of the New York Giants and Jets.
It will be Pulisic’s second appearance in the World Cup, as he also played in 2022 in Qatar. That team advanced to the knockout stage, but was eliminated by the Netherlands, who lost to eventual champions Argentina in the round of 16.
