Christian Pulisic Breaks Silence on Alexa Melton Breakup- 'I Only Look At Her In The Most Positive Way'

One of the biggest talking points surrounding USMNT and AC Milan Christian Pulisic ahead of the World Cup was the relationship he had with professional golfer Alexa Melton.

Pulisic and Melton were dating for nearly two years after reports of the pair starting a relationship in 2024. This year, the two split, with Melton commenting on Instagram that Pulisic was on a dating app last month.

People.com reported that Alexa Melton then took back the accusations of Pulisic heating up on her, confirming that there was no messy end to their relationship.

Fans online were critical of Pulisic following these rumors, but in an interview with TIME, the AC Milan and USMNT star briefly talked about Melton in a positive light.
