Last year, Kate Martin had the basketball world buzzing when she went public with her relationship with Claire Gransee.
A selfie of Martin and Gransee made the rounds on social media, sparking speculation about their romance. One TikTok user shared that photo along with this caption: “I can’t even be upset if that’s Kate Martin’s girlfriend because she is literally gorgeous stunning beautiful perfect.” The former Iowa star decided to address the rumors by replying, “She is gorgeous, stunning & perfect, I can’t lie.”
Martin has been fairly quiet about her relationship since that moment. However, Gransee did confirm they’re still together by making an appearance at a playoff game for the Las Vegas Aces.

Fast forward to this April, and Martin has decided to show some love to her girlfriend on social media. She posted a few heartwarming photos on Instagram in honor of Gransee’s birthday.
“Taking a break from sponsored posts to wish my fav person a happy birthday! 23 looks good on you,” Martin wrote. “Happy birthday.”
This post from Martin has gone viral, receiving over 37,000 likes in less than an hour.
Gransee had a short but sweet response to this post. She wrote, “I love you!! the most.”
It’s unclear if we’ll see Gransee at Martin’s WNBA games this upcoming season.
Martin was selected by the Golden State Valkyries in the WNBA expansion draft last December. She should take on a large role since she’s not on a loaded team like the Aces.
“It’s a pretty cool opportunity. I feel really grateful to be a part of it. It’s a part of history, a new WNBA team,” Martin said. “They haven’t had an expansion draft in a really long time. It’s something super cool to be a part of, and I feel really grateful that they chose me. It’s just going to be a lot of fun. Obviously they’re going to be aggressive, and we’re going to have more people added. That makes it really fun, seeing the roster come together and what it’s going to be, how training camp is going to look.”
The Valkyries will begin their 2025 season on May 16 against the Los Angeles Sparks.
