WNBA star blasts Tom Brady as 'not her type,' prefers 'manly' men

You can be a seven-time Super Bowl champion, three-time NFL MVP, 15-time Pro Bowler, and arguably the greatest football player of all-time, but apparently that won’t make you “manly” enough for Sophie Cunningham.

The stunning WNBA star said this week that she doesn’t find NFL legend Tom Brady attractive while revealing what she likes most in a potential suitor.

Cunningham, who plays alongside WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark with the Indiana Fever, opened up about her “type” during a podcast appearance, sharing that she prefers “more of a manly man.”

The blonde bombshell discussed the NFL great-turned-broadcaster on the first episode of her new Show Me Something podcast co-hosted by TV personality and childhood friend West Wilson.

The conversation was sparked when Wilson mentioned that he recently had met Brady.

“How much Botox does (Brady) have?” Cunningham asked her podcast co-host.

“He probably does (have Botox) but he’s very handsome,” Wilson replied.

“I think I like more of a manly man,” Cunningham responded. “I don’t want my man having (Botox).

“Like don’t have Botox in your head, anywhere.”

Brady, who has been featured on several fashion magazines over the course of his career, has long been subject of plastic surgery rumours.

However, he also famously follows a strict diet and exercise routine, which could produce similar effects to Botox, according to some experts.

The 28-year-old Cunningham is single, but reportedly was involved in a cheating scandal while she was a member of the Phoenix Mercury.

In a lawsuit filed earlier this year, it was alleged that Cunningham engaged in an affair with Josh Bartelstein, the CEO of the Mercury and the NBA’s Phoenix Suns.

Cunningham denied the claims in a statement posted on social media, saying that the allegations are “untrue and extremely hurtful” and that she doesn’t even know Gene Traylor, the employee who filed the suit.

Cunningham is averaging 7.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and one steal per game in her 21 appearances with the Fever this season. Indiana has struggled through Clark’s injury absences, sitting sixth in the league with a 15-12 record.
