Sophie Cunningham, known for her exceptional skills on the basketball court as a standout player for the Indiana Fever, isn’t afraid to share her thoughts on romance and what she looks for in a partner. During the debut episode of her new podcast, she made headlines with her candid remarks about none other than NFL legend Tom Brady, revealing that he doesn’t exactly fit her type.
Just days after receiving an intriguing offer to join the women’s wrestling scene, Cunningham launched her podcast entitled “Show Me Something.” In a casual yet fascinating conversation with her longtime friend and TV host West Wilson, the topic turned to Brady, sparking an amusing and revealing exchange. Wilson shared that he had recently met the iconic quarterback, which led Cunningham to jump right in with a pointed question: “How much Botox does he have?” This sparked a light-hearted debate, with Wilson acknowledging that while Brady is indeed handsome, Cunningham wasted no time in making her preferences clear.
She stated emphatically, “I think I like more of a manly man. I don’t want my man having Botoxlike, dont have Botox in your head, anywhere.” This refreshing honesty is characteristic of Cunningham, who is well-known for her directness. Earlier this year, she came to the defense of fellow player Caitlin Clark in a heated moment against the Connecticut Sun, earning her a wave of viral acclaim for standing up for what she believes in.
At just 28 years old, Cunningham is gearing up for her first season with the Fever following her trade from the Phoenix Mercury in early 2025. As a seasoned presence on a roster filled with emerging talent, she has provided invaluable contributions on the court, averaging 7.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, and a steal per game over 21 appearances, with an impressive shooting accuracy of 43.4 percent from the field.
What adds extra intrigue to her outspoken nature on her podcast is the rise in her social media presence. Following a captivating on-court altercation involving Clark, her followers on platforms like TikTok and Instagram have skyrocketed, combining to over a million fans. Despite this newfound fame, Cunningham is navigating the dating scene with humor. In a playful Q&A session on Instagram, she laughed off the constant inquiries about her single status over her seven-year WNBA career, saying, “I think its because Im a rat and an embarrassment to society, but back to being not married: itll happen hopefully before I die, ’cause won’t he do it?”
Currently, the Fever are in a tight race, sitting at 15 wins and 12 losses, placing them third in the Eastern Conference and putting them within striking distance of securing a playoff spot. Their offensive game is also showing impressive prowess, scoring an average of 85.2 points per game, which ranks as the third highest in the WNBA, even amidst the challenge of missing star Caitlin Clark for several weeks due to injury.
