World Cup 2026: Inside Christian Pulisic’s Private Life
In addition to his mom Kelley Pulisic and dad Mark Pulisic—who both played soccer in college—Pulisic’s family roster includes his sister Devyn Pulisic and brother Chase Gallant. And up until recently, his inner squad also included Alexa Melton, who he started dating after he slid into her DMs.
“I got the DM, and I was like, ‘Who is this dude with 8 million followers, and why is he DM’ing me?'” the pro golfer shared in the 2024 Paramount+ docuseries Pulisic. “I scrolled through his old Instagram. I was like, ‘Oh, he’s a big-time soccer player.'”
But earlier this year, news broke that Melton and Pulisic had split and her cryptic Instagram message sparked rumors that he had been unfaithful. After a commenter, per USA Today, wrote, “This generational fumble will be studied for years to come,” the 25-year-old replied, “Mans was on raya before it even ended.” However, Melton later shut down the cheating speculation.
“I’ve made some comments on a private matter and it’s been taken out of context,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories in April. “I received false info. He is not a cheater. Any narrative beyond that is not mine. Out of respect for Christian’s and my privacy, I will not speak further regarding this matter.”
And while Pulisic has also stayed tight-lipped on the breakup, he’s expressed how he has nothing but respect for Melton.
“I only look at her in the most positive way,” he told TIME in a piece published in May. “She was a lot of fun, and she supported me in every way. She wanted to push me to enjoy my life a little bit more and do things with her and do things just in general. And I was grateful for that.”
