Indiana Fever sensation Sophie Cunningham has built a reputation for being the league’s most dynamic personality. She is fierce on the court and has charisma and charm off the court.
While she’s built quite a resume with her basketball stats, box scores, and highlight-level performances, her dating history also garners a lot of attention from the media and fans.
Known for a private approach to her relationships, let’s take a look at whether Cunningham is dating someone or not.
Is Sophie Cunningham In A Relationship?
No, Cunningham is not in a relationship. She is single. As of 2025, she hasn’t confirmed any current relationship.
Time and again, she has repeatedly addressed herself as single rather humorously. In a TikTok video, she revealed more about her relationship status.
“Lol but like I wouldn’t mind a man to take care of me too ya know? #fyp,’ she wrote.
Although this is more recent, last year Cunningham spoke openly about her relationship status. She shared that she’s content with where she is in her life right now. She expressed that she trusts God’s timing when it comes to major milestones like marriage and starting a family.
In a candid conversation on the “Travis Hearn Podcast,” she was asked what qualities she looks for in a perfect partner. The Fever star reflected on her younger days, admitting she used to enjoy partying and even had fake IDs. She did date a few people in the past but emphasized that her values and priorities have shifted ever since.
“Where I am at now today, my No. 1 thing is like I want someone to push me towards Christ,” Cunningham said. “If you are not about it and you don’t talk about it, then just don’t talk to me.”
She added that her ideal partner would be someone who could lead their home and their children with strong faith and love for God.
Cunningham also revealed that she found herself in relationships that didn’t quite align with her beliefs. So, she’s committed to staying true to what she values most.
No matter how good her beliefs are, this hasn’t stopped any rumor mills from doing the rounds in the media. She’s attracted unwanted attention tied to the Phoenix Suns CEO, Josh Bartelstein.
Was Sophie Cunningham Involved With The Suns CEO?
Cunningham found her name dragged into yet another controversy recently involving the Suns’ CEO, suggesting that she’s had an intimate relationship with Bartelstein during her time with the Mercury. This is something that she strongly refuted and called out for its harmful and untrue nature.
The allegations surfaced in a lawsuit filed by Suns’ security employee Gene Traylor, who claimed a senior executive spread the rumor internally. Cunningham, however, is not involved in the lawsuit and is only mentioned in passing.
Taking to social media, the Fever guard called the claims “false” and “extremely hurtful,” emphasizing that she has never even met Traylor.
“I am deeply saddened by the recent false accusations made against me by Gene Traylor, someone I do not know and have never met,” Cunningham wrote in a statement posted to X.

“Let me be clear: his statements are untrue and extremely hurtful. I am here to compete, play basketball at the highest level and win for my team and fans, while inspiring other women that they can do or be anything they ever dream of becoming. I hold myself to the highest integrity and my values are what guide me on and off the court.”
She also took issue with media outlets for running the story without seeking her comment, calling the coverage “irresponsible” and “clickbait.”
The Phoenix Suns also issued a statement backing Cunningham and Bartelstein, calling the rumors “entirely false and morally reprehensible,” and urged people to focus on the facts rather than unfounded gossip.
