American tennis star Danielle Collins has gone viral again, this time for a brutally honest dating profile she shared on social media. The 31-year-old, who became public enemy number one at the Australian Open earlier this year, posted screenshots of her profile and messages from suitors on Instagram.
Collins, who recently split from biotech executive Bryan Kipp after a year together, wrote in her profile: 'Currently a professional tennis player, but kind of aspiring to be a trad wife. Straight up. Already had my boss babe era. Just wanting to raise my chickens, do home projects, make freshly baked sourdough, be a stay at home dog mom, and hopefully pop out some babies soon.' She also added a warning: 'If you’re going to lie about your height just leave me the f*** alone. This is a no short kings zone.'
Collins also shared a message from a man who wrote: '(let me know) if you wanna be a power couple. I got a nasty forehand and the opposite of a temper hahaha.' She quickly shut him down, replying: 'I’ll tell you what … if anyone has the balls to slide into my dm like this just make sure to attach your most recent bank statement while you’re at it.'
The posts have sparked widespread reactions on social media, with a Reddit thread drawing thousands of views. Some fans praised her honesty, while others called her 'mean' and a 'walking red flag'. Collins had previously said she would consider appearing on reality TV shows like The Bachelorette to find love, but noted they would need to pay her well. 'You would have to really pay out the big bucks to get me on,' she said on The Gay Tennis Podcast.
Collins made headlines at this year's Australian Open after defeating local hope Destanee Aiava and celebrating by cupping her ear, yelling, blowing kisses, and slapping her backside. She was booed off court and later crashed out to eventual champion Madison Keys. She continued to rile fans by posting photos of her 'five-star vacation' after the match.
