Christian Pulisic spends time with ‘girlfriend’ ahead of Copa America
Christian Pulisic has been spotted on his alleged girlfriend’s latest social media post as he practices his golf swing ahead of USA’s first Copa America match.
The 25-year-old, AC Milan forward increased rumors that he’s dating the 23-year-old internet personality, who’s also on the LPGA’s Epson Tour, by appearing on a TikTok, where both of them mimic a scene from Family Guy when Lois and Peter are out on the putting green.
Pulisic’s international teammate Weston McKennie is seen in the clip’s background, at one point, much to the amusement of fans on X.
‘Hahahaha west third wheeling is great,’ a person commented, while another asked how the Juventus midfielder got stuck with the rumored couple.
‘They’re too cute I can’t,’ said someone about Pulisic and Melton.

The two athletes were seen together at the US Women’s Open in the Pulisic’s home state of Pennsylvania, earlier this month.
In a snap shared on Melton’s Instagram, which started the pair’s romance rumors, they’re sharing a laugh together after Melton failed to make the cut at the major tournament.
Melton also posted a photo of Pulisic holding a polaroid-printed picture of them smiling to the camera, as they posed side-by-side like couples do.
Pulisic is set to embark on one of the most important periods of his international career this week, as the US hosts the Copa America for only the second time in the history of soccer.
Ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted by the US and its neighbors, a good display at Copa America against some of the world’s top teams, with limited time for other competitive matches between now and soccer’s most prestigious prize at international level, is seen as a crucial experience for the USMNT.
Pulisic is seen as the heir to Landon Donovan – inarguably the US’ most impactful player in soccer – and the leader of the golden generation of American stars plying their trade in Europe.
The USA is expected to qualify for the Copa America’s knockout stages after being drawn with Bolivia, Uruguay and Panama.
The Star and Stripes’ first game of the tournament is on Sunday against Bolivia in Arlington, Texas.
