Las Vegas Aces rookie Kate Martin is trending online after seemingly unveiling a new girlfriend.
Martin sparked rumors after posting a photo of herself and another young lady on her Instagram Story late on Sunday night.
The former Iowa guard, who starred for the Hawkeyes alongside Caitlin Clark, was only hoping to get drafted but was surprisingly selected by the Aces in the second round of this year’s WNBA Draft. She has given a great account of herself since joining the team, and it appears their gamble has paid off.
Martin is generally reserved but sparked fires on the web on Sunday night after sharing a mirror selfie showing her standing next to a smokeshow blonde with a curious emoji.

The other woman has since been identified as Claire Gransee, Kate’s former Iowa teammate who graduated this year.
