In 2015, a year after giving birth to his first child, Coleman's pregnancy story went viral following an article published in the UK Based Daily Mail. In 2020, just weeks after giving birth to his second child, Coleman's story went viral again when a public figure running for political office used his pregnancy photos and videos to fuel a hate mongering campaign against the transgender community .

Coleman has been profiled in numerous publications such as Today, ABC News, & Good Morning America.
