Christian Pulisic's Ex-Girlfriend Sizzles In Swimsuit Photo

With the United States men's national team firmly in the spotlight at the World Cup, it appears Christian Pulisic is going viral for a few reasons.

For starters, Pulisic looked sharp in the USMNT's opener against Paraguay. He essentially created two goal-scoring opportunities for his squad in the first half. Unfortunately, a calf injury prevented him from playing the second half.

"I just got a bit of a kick in the first half, I'm hoping that it's nothing, taking precaution," Pulisic told FOX's Tom Rinaldi. "Staying positive, I don't think it's anything. I'm gonna give everything I can to be back, that's for sure."

Pulisic's status for the remainder of the World Cup's group stage is a bit of a mystery at this moment. That's not the only reason he's being talked about though.

It appears Pulisic's ex-girlfriend, Alexa Melton, is turning heads on social media.

Before the World Cup even started this month, Melton shared a few vacation photos on Instagram. Her slideshow included a swimsuit photo that grabbed everyone's attention.

"How are you real," an Instagram follower commented.

"She's glowing," one person wrote.

"Looking great," another person said.

When did Melton and Pulisic go their separate ways?

Melton, who was on USC's golf team, revealed in April that she broke up with Pulisic. She posted a comment on social media that suggested he was cheating on her.

"This generational fumble will be studied for years to come," Melton wrote in a since-deleted comment. "Mans was on Raya before it even ended."

Pulisic never addressed rumors about his breakup, but he did speak highly of her during an interview with Time.

"I only look at her in the most positive way," Pulisic said. "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."

It's unclear where things stand between Pulisic and Melton.
