Suni Lee is opening up about her love life by sharing her dating preferences. 

The Olympic gold medalist made an appearance on the "HAHA Podcast" this month and revealed if she has seen the multitude of videos online of guys swooning over her.

"I think it's really funny," Lee said. "Sometimes I can't tell if it's just like a joke or if they're being for real, but it's really funny to me."

Lee shared some of her dating preferences as well, including that she would only want to date a guy who is five years older than her. Besides age, she shared that she is not scared to show how he feels about her and will, importantly, make her laugh.

The Olympic gymnast also shared what her ideal type is in a partner.

"I feel like my type is, like, athletes. I like a very emotionally intelligent man because I feel like a lot of the guys that I've, like, talked to or come across, they always just end up being so immature."

Lee has been reportedly dating Jaylin Smith since at least late 2021. He is a cornerback at USC. The Olympic gymnast has been open about the racism she has received due to Smith being Black.

"I know that Sunisa will be judged by certain eyes in the Hmong Community because her man is Black," a fan commented in a TikTok video of Lee's back in 2022, per People. "LOVE is LOVE, no matter what race or gender you are. Keep doing you QUEEN."

Lee responded with admiration for the kind comment, as not all have been supportive of her relationship online.

"This makes me so happy," Lee wrote. "I've received so much hate they support me when it's beneficial for them never when it comes to my happiness. Thank you!"

It's unclear whether the two are still dating, as she has also been linked to Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson and Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker. Additionally, she has publicly dismissed rumors that she was dating New York Knicks player OG Anunoby.
