The Las Vegas Aces snatched a dramatic 77-75 victory over the Chicago Sky, thanks to a last-second heroics from A’ja Wilson. While Wilson stole the show, the Aces rookie, Kate Martin, didn’t see much action on the court. But it seems that did little to Martin’s romantic side.

Rumors about Kate Martin dating social media influencer Claire Gransee have been circulating for a while, and Martin’s latest social media activity is likely to stir the pot even more. Just hours after the Aces’ thrilling win over the Sky, Gransee took to Instagram to post a few snaps of a likely roundup of the month, including one with Martin.

“i’ll be here!” she captioned. And then obviously, as soon as Kate Martin’s eyes caught that, she couldn’t resist chiming in, leaving a playful comment: “You’re so artsy fartsy.”

Well, this hasn’t been the first time the player has dropped hints and showed love towards Gransee. Earlier this month, Martin herself posted a series of pictures on her Instagram which captioned ‘Break treated me good, love my people’. The carousel also included a mirror selfie of the rumored couple and Gransee chose to acknowledge the player’s validation as she commented, “so much cuteness!! best dump!!”

This just adds up to many instances that have fueled the relationship rumors of the two. Dating or not, each definitely has a soft corner for the other. And that wouldn’t be the only other Iowa connection, apart from Caitlin Clark, that visibly continues for Martin.
