As the Fever worked through the 2025 season, Cunningham was active on social media. On Friday, she was seen reposting a photo from her sister Lindsey Cunningham, who has welcomed a baby girl.

"The sweetest addition to our girl gang: Pippy Clarke Hudson," Lindsey Cunningham said. "Thank you Jesus for these sisters!!!"

Sophie Cunningham took to social media after the announcement, sending Lindsey Cunningham a note on the family.
