The 6-foot-1 guard boasts a huge swimsuit collection. She confidently posts photos of herself in different swimwear on social media. On Wednesday, Cunningham expressed her fondness for them on her Instagram story
“Another thing that I don’t think a lot of people would be surprised about is the amount of swimsuits that I have,” Cunningham said.
“I’m not mad about that. I know you can only wear one swimsuit at a time, but I have a pretty good collection, and I’m proud of that.
“Do I need to buy more? Absolutely not. Will a swim brand want to work with me and be wanting to share more swimsuits? I would say yes. That’s when I feel most alive.
“It’s a little ridiculous, though. Life is all about awareness. I’m realizing that I need to live a more simple life in a swimsuit.”
Sophie Cunningham is ready for the Indiana Fever’s 2026 season
Cunningham and the Fever will open their 2026 regular season on Saturday by hosting the Dallas Wings at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The 29-year-old is looking to bounce back after being limited to 30 games last year. She dealt with a right knee injury and missed the entire playoffs.
Cunningham, along with Caitlin Clark, is expected to play a significant role for Indiana. The team is one of the favorites to win the title, but health will be a key factor in its championship quest.
