"Basically, my birthday is in two days, and this is our last day that we're going to get to spend together for a while. So we made dinner. We made burgers, and I made the meat, and a few of them were a bit undercooked. She made the French fries. Look at the French fries.."Trinity Rodman asked her boyfriend not to reveal the mishaps, but Shelton was in no mood to stop. He laughed and added:"Show them the soup. That is Trin's Caesar salad, okay? And show them the bun. This is Trin's least burnt bun. Still the best birthday ever, though."View on TikTokThe Olympian then chimed in, explaining how she usually presented the dishes perfectly, but this time, the fries turned out to be “a soggy string of potatoes,” and the rest didn’t go well either. Nevertheless, she wished Shelton a birthday and expressed her love, awaiting the cookies later.
