Trinity Rain Moyer-Rodman was born on May 20, 2002, in Newport Beach, California, to Michelle Moyer and former professional basketball player Dennis Rodman. She and her brother, DJ Rodman, were raised primarily by their mother in southern California. Rodman has said she went through long stretches without speaking to her father, and she briefly lived with her mother in their car. She also has a half-sister. Rodman began playing soccer at age four and said it "felt like home" to her as young as seven or eight. She was encouraged by her mother and sister to pursue her dream of becoming a professional soccer player. Rodman began playing club soccer with SoCal Blues at the age of ten. Her team won four national championships in the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) and maintained a five-year undefeated streak. Rodman attended and played for Corona del Mar High School for one year as a freshman before transferring to JSerra Catholic High School in nearby San Juan Capistrano but did not play for the school. Rodman initially committed to play collegiate soccer for the UCLA Bruins before deciding to follow her older brother to the Washington State Cougars beginning in the 2020 season. However, she never played a match in college as her freshman season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and she decided to turn professional.

In July 2023, Rodman was in a relationship with Chris Kuzemka. In May 2024, Rodman began dating former NFL wide receiver Trinity Benson. In December 2024, Rodman appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast and spoke about her relationship with her father, Dennis, saying, "He's not a dad. Maybe by blood, but nothing else." She described him as a controlling parent and said that, as a child, she gave up on living with him because of his party lifestyle. Rodman said she "lost hope in ever getting him back" after he attended one of her Washington Spirit matches unannounced in 2021 and then did not speak to her again until 2023. In early 2025, Rodman began dating tennis player Ben Shelton.
