WNBA star Sophie Cunningham, whose profile has risen quite a bit in recent years, is opening up about her dating life.

The Indiana Fever guard, who is in her second year with the franchise, after being traded from Phoenix, is opening up about what she believes is her "ideal" husband as she moves forward in life.

Cunningham, who is from Missouri, says that religion and believing in God are the No. 1 quality she looks for in a man. She wants her future husband to be able to lead her and her future children.

The Indiana Fever guard confirmed that she's single while describing her ideal husband in a conversation with West Wilson on their podcast.

“I’m not shy about this at all,” Cunningham said. “I grew up in Missouri. Missouri was like the No. 3 party school. Yeah, I went through the huge party stage. I’ve been with guys. But now that I’m actually where I’m at now today, my No. 1 thing is I want someone to push me towards Christ.”

“If you’re not about it, and you don’t talk about it, then don’t even talk to me,” Cunningham added. “I have my blinders on. I still have a bunch of guy friends. I’m open to ideas and whatnot. But my No. 1 thing is I want you to lead our house, lead me, lead our future kids to serve and love a good, good God.”

Cunningham, meanwhile, is having a nice year on the court. She's averaging 9.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game, while shooting 43.7 percent from the 3-point line.

The Fever have been playing very well as of late, looking like a true contender in the WNBA.
