Sophie Cunningham, the Indiana Fever star, is known for keeping her dating life private. However, she recently shared some no-nonsense dating advice on her podcast "Show Me Something." In a new segment where she answers fan questions, Cunningham was confronted with a unique dating dilemma.
One fan explained that he had a crush on a colleague who only communicated through DMs on her dog’s Instagram account. The conversations were borderline flirty, revolving around topics like chasing squirrels and bones. When the fan asked if he should ask the woman out, Cunningham’s response was clear and straightforward – "Block and run." She found the situation bizarre and advised the fan to steer clear of it.
Even when her co-host, West Wilson, suggested asking the woman out for a normal date without involving the dog, Cunningham remained firm in her stance. She believed that the situation was a huge red flag and urged the fan to abandon the idea altogether.
During the podcast, Cunningham also addressed a viral video from this season’s All-Star Weekend, where Natisha Hiedeman was seen flirting with Angel Reese. When Wilson asked if any of Cunningham’s teammates had ever had a crush on her, she humorously replied, "No, because they are like you’re straight as f***." Cunningham is currently rehabbing her MCL injury and will enter free agency in January 2026. She has expressed her desire for a long-term contract to fulfill her dream of buying a house.
As fans eagerly await Cunningham’s return to the Fever, she remains focused on her recovery and future in the WNBA. With her candid and straightforward approach to dating advice, Cunningham continues to captivate her audience both on and off the court.
