WNBA Star Cameron Brink Considers Playboy After Bold Photo Shoots

WNBA rising star Cameron Brink has never shied away from expressing herself both on and off the basketball court, and the Los Angeles Sparks forward is once again making headlines after revealing she would consider modeling for Playboy—if her fiancé is on board.

The 24-year-old athlete, who has rapidly become one of the most recognizable faces in women’s basketball, has already built a strong following beyond the WNBA thanks to her fashion-forward image and confident social media presence.

Brink regularly stuns fans with stylish photos on Instagram, including beachside bikini shots that showcase her glamorous side away from the hardwood.

Speaking to TMZ, Brink was asked whether she would ever take things a step further by appearing in Playboy, a publication that has increasingly featured athletes and cultural figures in recent years.

Her response was open-minded but thoughtful.

“Yeah, maybe! We’ll see… maybe! If my fiancé approves,” Brink said with a smile.

Brink has been engaged since late 2024 to Ben Felter, a former Stanford rower and rugby player.

The couple met during Brink’s college years at Stanford University, where she became one of the most dominant players in women’s college basketball.

The pair are expected to tie the knot sometime this year, and Brink has spoken warmly about looking forward to celebrating the next chapter of her life surrounded by loved ones.

The conversation around Playboy modeling follows Brink’s recent appearance in PLAYERS, a sports and fashion magazine known for its artistic and athlete-focused photo shoots.

Brink posed nude for one of the magazine’s spreads, a decision she described as empowering and creative rather than controversial.

“I’m usually pretty open. I trust the creatives in the room,” Brink explained. “I was fully naked for that shoot, for one of the shots.

I was walking around naked. It was only gays and girls in the room, so it wasn’t an issue.”

She emphasized that her interest in modeling is rooted in artistry rather than shock value, adding that she enjoys collaborating with photographers and creative teams who have a clear vision.

“If they have a vision, I like the artistry of it all,” she said. “I like shooting stuff like that. I think it’s fun.”

Brink also used the opportunity to praise fellow WNBA player Kysre Gondrezick, who appeared in Playboy last year.

Gondrezick’s shoot was widely praised and sparked conversations about representation, confidence, and athletes owning their personal brands.

“I just want to shout out Kysre because she’s a good friend of mine,” Brink said. “She’s going through a really tough recovery right now, but I know she’s going to kill it.

She looked absolutely beautiful.”

As women’s sports continue to grow in visibility, more athletes are exploring opportunities beyond traditional endorsements, blending fashion, media, and personal storytelling with their professional careers.

Brink’s comments suggest she sees no conflict between elite-level basketball and creative self-expression.

On the court, Brink’s résumé is already impressive. She was selected second overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft by the Los Angeles Sparks after a standout four-year career at Stanford.

Known for her defensive dominance, shot-blocking ability, and high basketball IQ, she quickly became a cornerstone of the Sparks’ rebuilding efforts.

Off the court, Brink has emerged as a cultural figure, bridging the gap between sports and fashion.

Whether she ultimately decides to pose for Playboy or not, her willingness to discuss the possibility openly reflects a broader shift in how female athletes control their narratives.

As she balances wedding plans, a growing WNBA career, and expanding media opportunities, Cameron Brink continues to prove she is more than just a basketball star—she is a modern athlete redefining what success looks like in women’s sports.
