Tennis star Danielle Collins reveals strict dating app rules after split from partner
Danielle Collins has taken to social media to share her thoughts on her dating life after she confirmed her split from her partner after meeting at Wimbledon
Tennis star Danielle Collins has jumped onto a dating app after her recent breakup with a man she originally encountered at a Wimbledon coffee shop.
The 31-year-old had been dating Bryan Kipp, who works as a vice president at a biotech company, after they crossed paths in London. However, the couple has recently ended their romance, leaving Collins back on the market. It comes after Collins made a huge financial demand to feature on a dating show.
She subsequently turned to Instagram to share with her followers that she was exploring new romantic possibilities through a dating platform. Her profile immediately caught people's attention, as Collins made her preferences crystal clear regarding the type of men she wanted to attract.
She specifically stated she didn't want 'short kings' flooding her inbox, telling them to keep their distance.
Her profile stated: "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. If you're going to lie about your height just leave me the f*** alone. This is a no short kings zone."
Following one bold person's attempt to contact Collins, she responded: "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."
Collins has recently suggested she might consider appearing on reality television as a way to find love, though she emphasized it would come with a hefty price tag. "I would consider maybe going on reality TV, but it depends," she shared during her guesting on The Gay Tennis Podcast.
"Like, I don't know if they can afford me. Listen, you know what I mean? Because this is like some blockbuster entertainment right here, right?".
"You would have to really pay out the big bucks to get me on, like you know, The Bachelorette and that kind of thing. Yeah, I mean, I would definitely consider it."
During her Wimbledon run last year, where she made it to the fourth round, Collins opened up about her then-boyfriend.
In a conversation with the Tennis Channel, she revealed: "He didn't know anything about tennis, and he didn't know I was a tennis player, which was really nice.
"He was actually a bigger fan of golf and so he said: 'Well I really like golf. I don't really know much about tennis'. And I was like: 'Yes! That's so exciting'."
