However, neither Cunningham nor Adams has said they are dating. Adams is a sports medicine professional who has worked in the NBA and college basketball. As of September 2026, the available reports still describe the pair’s relationship as speculation rather than a confirmed romance.

Who is Frank Adams and what does he do?

Frank Adams is an athletic trainer with a long background in basketball. Grand Canyon University’s official athletics website lists him as the head athletic trainer for its men’s basketball program. He joined GCU’s sports medicine staff in 2025 after spending six years with the Phoenix Suns as an assistant athletic trainer.

Sophie Cunningham and Frank Adams dating rumors

The connection between Sophie Cunningham and Frank Adams first drew wider attention in March. Instagram user Teejayraps shared posts showing Cunningham at GCU men’s basketball games and other moments involving Adams. According to a Sportsnaut report, the pair also appeared together at a bowling alley and other events. Those posts led some fans to believe the two were dating.

Still, Cunningham has not announced Adams as her boyfriend, and Adams has not publicly confirmed that they are a couple. Recent coverage has continued to describe the link between them as unconfirmed.

Sophie Cunningham’s latest comments on her dating life

Cunningham has also spoken about dating recently, but her comments did not confirm anything about Adams. In a September 2026 interview, she was asked about her dating life and said, “People don’t come up to me. I don’t really go on dates.” She later explained why she thinks that happens, saying, “I think I just maybe give off, like, an intimidating vibe.”

That makes the current picture fairly clear. Cunningham and Adams have been seen together, and those appearances have led to dating rumors, but there is still no public confirmation from either person.

Until one of them addresses the relationship, Frank Adams remains a rumoured boyfriend rather than a confirmed partner.
