Sophie Cunningham Breaks Silence on Relationship Status — Fans React with Emotion

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has left fans both emotional and inspired after candidly opening up about her relationship status. The 27-year-old guard, known for her gritty play and bold personality, recently shared she is single during an Instagram Q&A, sparking a wave of support across social media.

“I didn’t want to hide it anymore,” Cunningham said, opting for brutal honesty and self-deprecating humor. “I think I’m single because I’m a rat and an embarrassment to society,” she joked, sipping awkwardly from a cup at the WNBA All-Star Game. Despite the humor, fans praised her vulnerability and confidence.

Cunningham’s popularity has exploded since standing up for Caitlin Clark during a heated moment with the Connecticut Sun. Her jersey quickly sold out, and she gained over 700K TikTok followers in a week, cementing her status as the Fever’s unexpected fan favorite.

Acquired from the Phoenix Mercury, Cunningham has embraced her role as Clark’s fiery backup and “enforcer,” averaging 6.4 points in 22.6 minutes off the bench in 2025.
