Team USA star Christian Pulisic is getting plenty of attention during the World Cup, including the swirling rumors around his relationship that he was forced to address last year.
Pulisic and longtime girlfriend Alexa Melton split up just weeks before the start of this year’s World Cup, ending in some controversy as she appeared to make claims of infidelity. That came months after Pulisic addressed a rumor that he was dating a famous American actress.

At the time they split in April, Melton appeared to suggest that Pulisic had already jumped on the exclusive dating app Raya before they broke up. Though Melton later walked it back and stressed that she was not accusing Pulisic of cheating, it is not the first time he faced public rumors of infidelity.
Pulisic had been the target of cheating rumors late last year, when reports surfaced that he was dating actress Sydney Sweeney. The men’s soccer star took to social media to push aside the rumors.
“Please stop with the made up stories about my personal life,” Pulisic wrote in his Instagram stories, via the New York Post. “Need to hold sources accountable it can affect people’s lives.”
Pulisic even took to the comment section of another Instagram post saying he was dating the actress, shooting down the reports.
“Fake news guys let’s stop with the silly rumor,” he added.
