Christian Pulisic’s ex-girlfriend Alexa Melton has finally returned to golf after spending some time away following her messy split from the US soccer star.
Melton, who is a professional golfer, confirmed last month that she and Pulisic are no longer together with a brutal comment on Instagram, which included a false allegation about her ex.
‘How many likes to post his Raya profile,’ the 25-year-old said, appearing to imply that he was either unfaithful or already back on the market.
Yet, just days later she retracted that claim by saying in a follow-up comment: ‘I received false info. He is not a cheater. And narrative beyond that is not mine.’
Amid their break-up, Melton stepped back from golf after admitting she didn’t know if she would be able to compete again this year ‘mentally and physically.’
But she finally made her return on Sunday on the Epson Tour – the developmental golf tour of the LPGA – after several weeks away.

Alongside a series of photos of her first round back, Melton wrote in the caption: ‘Been away for a bit but coming back with gratitude for everything that pro golf entails. The good, the bad, the ugly, it’s all part of the journey. That’s life and as cliche as it is, golf really does teach you how to handle the curveballs life throws your way- how to adapt, grow, be resilient, handle your emotions.
‘I didn’t know if I was going to compete this year, mentally and physically, but I’m proud of the fight so far. And that’s my focus going forward, fighting to show up each day as the best version of me.
‘There’s a lot on my mind, a lot I want to say, but I’m thankful for you guys who reach out with encouraging messages, I’m appreciative of the people in my corner.’
Pulisic broke his silence on his split from Melton earlier this month in an interview with Time Magazine.
The AC Milan forward, who is gearing up for this summer’s World Cup, heaped praise on his former partner despite her recent accusations against him.
‘I only look at her in the most positive way,’ he 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.’
In 2025, Melton and Pulisic appeared in a documentary together on Paramount Plus. Revealing how they met, he said: ‘ I slid in the DMs as they call it.’

Melton added: ‘I got the DM and I was like “who is this dude with 8m followers and why is he DMing me?”
‘And then I scrolled through his Instagram and I was like “Oh he’s a big time soccer player”.’
Pulisic appeared smitten with Melton on the documentary and described her as ‘a really special girl’.
He continued: ‘I guess I never got to a point where I was ready for it and that’s something I’ve really changed my mentality with and also my faith and that in a lot of ways has sort of led me to her.’
