WNBA star Sophie Cunningham is opening up about what she's looking for when it comes to dating. 

On the debut episode her new pocast, "Show Me Something," co-hosted by her childhood friend, "Summer House" reality star West Wilson, Cunningham revealed why Tom Brady, Botox, and "Yellowstone's" Rip Wheeler don't make the cut when it comes to her choice in men. 

From WNBA star to podcast queen: Sophie Cunningham spills on men, fame, and fighting

The conversation went down on the Monday, July 28 episode, when Wilson casually mentioned to Cunningham that he met Brady a few weeks earlier.

"How much Botox does he have?" Cunningham shot back without missing a beat.

"He probably does (have Botox)," Wilson admitted to the WNBA star, "but he's very handsome."

That's when Cunningham dished on her dating preferences, which don't include any Brady lookalikes. 

"I think I like more of a manly man," Cunningham said. "I don't want my man having Botox."

"Like don't have Botox in your head, anywhere," the Fever star quipped, adding that "Yellowstone's" hit character, Rip Wheeler, isn't her ideal type either.

Cunningham says fans can expect her new podcast to cover all things sports and pop culture. 

West was a natural choice for her co-host, as according to People, the pair have known each other since they grew up together in Columbia, Missouri.

"We're definitely going to hit on the WNBA, a huge topic in sports right now, and then Bravo, clearly, but pop culture, food, fashion, travel, let's spread this thing wide open because we really do talk about anything," Cunningham said.

She also has predicted that she might "get canceled real fast."

However, she still doesn't plan on holding back.

Sophie Cunningham says she blew up on social media after her WNBA scuffle 

Sophie Cunningham's popularity has soared this season, and a lot of her fame has arisen on social media. 

During the debut episode, Cunningham also dished about blowing up on social media, following the flagrant foul 2 involving a brief scuffle that got her tossed out of the June 17 WNBA clash against the Connecticut Sun. 

"I didn't even have her by the hair," Cunningham told Wilson. "I grabbed her by the neck." 

While the whole situation was unfortunate, the WNBA star admitted that she's seen a massive uptick in followers after the incident - and many of them are older "thirsty guys."

"I went from I think like 350,00 (on Instagram) and like maybe 200,000 on TikTok," the Fever star said. ""It blew up overnight." 

"I worked my whole life to become a WNBA basketball player, and now people know me as WWE," she added. 

As of Thursday, the Fever star boasts 1.1 million followers on Instagram and 1.6 million on TikTok.
