Sophie Cunningham has once again given fans something to talk about — this time off the court. During the latest episode of her podcast, the Indiana Fever standout casually dropped a line that had her co-host and listeners doing a double-take:
> “I’m getting baby fever, so the world needs to watch out.”
The confession, delivered with a laugh, came right after Sophie shared how much she’s been loving her new role as an aunt. Her co-host reacted with wide-eyed surprise, but before the topic could gain momentum, Sophie quickly backtracked — joking that “aunt life is great birth control.”
The playful comment sparked laughter, but it also highlighted a relatable side of the WNBA star — balancing personal dreams with a demanding athletic career. For many professional women, especially in sports, the conversation about family planning can be tricky. Sophie handled it the way she always does: with humor, honesty, and a bit of mischief.
Fans immediately lit up social media with reactions ranging from amusement to curiosity:
> “Sophie with baby fever? That’d be the cutest mini-Fever ever!”
“She said baby fever, then hit reverse like a pro point guard.”
Cunningham has always been open about life beyond basketball — from faith to family to fun. Whether her “baby fever” comment was a joke or a glimpse into the future, one thing’s certain: Sophie knows how to keep fans entertained both on and off the court.
