Former Iowa Hawkeyes standout and current Las Vegas Aces player Kate Martin has built a large fanbase and emerged as one of the biggest stars in women’s basketball.
Part of this success stems from her close bond with Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark, as they were teammates at Iowa and led the Hawkeyes to two consecutive NCAA National Championship games.
But Martin is not just known as Clark’s sidekick. Her own accomplishments on the court for the Aces, combined with her friendly personality, have endeared her to the women’s basketball community.
Speculation about Martin’s relationship with fellow Iowa alum Claire Gransee arose in June when a photo of the two together was shared on Martin’s Instagram, sparking excitement among fans.
Since then, the pair has posted several photos and videos on their social media platforms, with Gransee even showing support by wearing an A’ja Wilson jersey.
On Friday, Martin shared two new photos of them on her Instagram story, one of them taking a mirror selfie with a heart drawing and the other of Martin carrying Gransee on her shoulder.
Fans have been gushing over these images. User @ccthegoat22 reposted them with the caption, “kate😭martin😭im😭so😭happy😭for😭you😭GOALSSSS😭”.
