Las Vegas Aces rookie guard Kate Martin shocked the sporting world when she suddenly went public with the love of her life.
The former Iowa Hawkeyes standout hinted that she’s in a romantic relationship by posting a picture of herself standing alongside a woman on Instagram with the handle @claire.gransee.
Iowa Hawkeyes fans already adored Martin, but she became even more known and loved since the 2024 NCAA Tournament.
Despite a stacked Las Vegas Aces, Martin has carved out a role for herself on the two-time defending WNBA champions.
This week, Martin’s girlfriend Claire is going viral because of her brain.
Claire had a 3.94 GPA while at Iowa.
Kate Martin and Claire are former classmates.
Martin’s life was changed when the Aces shockingly selected her as the 18th overall pick in the WNBA Draft. She played well enough to earn a spot on the team.
Now, the former Iowa Hawkeye has a serious chance to play alongside her best friend, Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark, at the 2024 All-Star Game.
She was announced as 12th in the recent rankings.

Martin saw the video and responded by saying, “She is gorgeous, stunning & perfect, I can’t lie.”
VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”
Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts
During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.
The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.
This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.
One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.
He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.
He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
