Christian Pulisic breaks silence on Alexa Melton split after shocking Raya accusation suddenly backfires badly

Christian Pulisic is finally speaking openly about his breakup with golfer Alexa Melton after weeks of online rumors and harsh comments from fans. The US soccer star made it clear that there is no bad blood between them, even after Melton briefly accused him of being on the dating app Raya shortly after their split. She later took back the claim and said she had received false information. Now, nearly a month later, Pulisic has shared his side for the first time and only had kind words for his former girlfriend. Speaking to Time before this summer’s World Cup, Christian Pulisic said, “I only look at her in the most positive way. 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.”The comments come after weeks of heavy social media talk around the couple’s breakup. Alexa Melton first confirmed the split through Instagram when a fan commented that losing Pulisic was a “generational fumble.” Melton then replied, “How many likes to post his Raya profile.” Many fans took that as a sign that Pulisic may have cheated or moved on quickly. But days later, Melton stepped back from the accusation and wrote, “I received false info. He is not a cheater. And the narrative beyond that is not mine.”
