Three months ago Golden State Valkyries guard Kate Martin left a glowing comment on a post from her girlfriend Claire Gransee.
Gransee, who met Martin when the two attended the University of Iowa, posted a carousel of photos showing her recent vacation to Croatia which spawned the comment, “You are the most beautiful girl in the world,” from Martin. Just two months later, though, Martin allegedly abruptly removed all photos of Gransee from her social media accounts.

Gransee Posts on Social Media Once Again
Fast forward one month and Gransee appears to have responded. On Monday, Sept. 1, she broke a three-month silence on her Instagram account by sharing a new post to the social media platform.
“feels so good to be backkkk,” she said in the caption of the post showing another carousel of photos from her summer in Chicago and life on the lake.
Martin has not commented on the photo and it’s unclear if she’s one of the several thousand to “like” the post on Instagram. While the two still follow each other on the platform, they don’t appear to have pictures of one another on their respective profiles at this point.
