Track star Sha’Carri Richardson has given up her LGBTQ+ lifestyle for good. Sha’Carri and her boyfriend, Christian Coleman, are seen together in new photos at the Super Bowl in New Orleans on Sunday.
Christian shared a selfie of the couple in a hotel bathroom, and Sha’Carri posted new photos on her Instagram page.
“Even from the down under, still going up,” Sha’Carri captioned the post.
Sha’Carri rocked a multi-colored dress with a Louis Vuitton bag while Christian wore a button-down shirt and a pair of olive green pants.

Fans were stunned to see Sha’Carri in a loving relationship with a man after the 24-year-old sprinter endured an abusive relationship with a woman 3 years ago.
One fan wrote: “Love to see black love and black excellence.”
Another commenter posted: “Ugh. I just love this so much for her. I hope they last.”
A third person wrote: “I’m just happy she ain’t gay cause I would’ve been jealous.”
In 2022, Sha’Carri wrote about her emotional pain after leaving an abusive lesbian relationship.
“I was in a relationship with a Jamaican athlete that never cared about me from jump,” she wrote.
“I was abused and stole from yet protected her from the judgment of her country & family while they dragged me. I had to deal with homophobic [sic] and so much more that I’m still healing from.”
In a 2022 interview, her ex-girlfriend, Jamaican track star Janeek Brown, admitted abusing her.

“I was abusive once that there’s physical evidence of,” Janeek said. “And we moved on, and even after then I was trying to move on from that, we still got nowhere.”
She continued: “Yeah, I was going through something – I was finding myself, that’s why I am coming to social media, you feel me? So yeah, it’s a transformation; I’m going to find myself now. I may look different now.”
Sha’Carri and Christian (left) were first spotted together at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest in 2023. An excited Christian tackled Sha’Carri after she won the Women’s 4x100m Relay Final.
At the time, no one knew they were dating.
