Throughout her WNBA career, Phoenix Mercury guard and sports commentator Sophie Cunningham has made headlines for various reasons, most recently due to her pregame fashion choices.
While some people have lauded her for her confidence and style, others have criticized her for allegedly “sexualizing” the sport for attention and behaving inappropriately.
Despite the mixed reactions, Sophie appears largely unfazed by the criticism, continuing to share photos of her outfits and enjoying the spotlight.
With her off-court activities now receiving significant attention, fans are curious about Sophie’s personal life. Specifically, is she involved in any romantic relationships?
Sophie Cunningham’s dating life remains somewhat enigmatic. Although she openly showcases her fashion and basketball skills, she seems to prefer keeping her personal affairs private.
A review of her social media pages reveals no current indications of a romantic relationship.
Previously, Sophie was known to be dating soccer player Jakob Neidig around 2020. However, there have been no recent posts or updates featuring the couple together on Instagram or X (formerly Twitter), leaving it unclear whether they are still together.
Sophie’s latest pregame outfit sparked controversy — and not necessarily in a positive light. Recently, Sophie gained attention for one of her pregame outfit choices.
In a video posted by the Phoenix Mercury on X, she sported a short, off-the-shoulder dress with cutouts that highlighted her legs and hips. Some fans were displeased with what they considered a “skimpy” look.
One critic commented, “Their team is sexualizing them. They all know what really puts [butts] in seats, and it is not their play on the court.”
Another remarked, “I remember when it was considered inappropriate to sexualize women for profit.”
Conversely, the comments on Sophie’s Instagram post of the outfit showed a different perspective, with fans praising her look: “Best game day fit to date!”
