Kate Martin is living a good life.
Along her basketball journey, she has had one woman by her side.
The Golden State Valkyries player debuted her relationship with Claire Gransee in June 2024.
Since then, Gransee has supported Martin at several of her games. Gransee was even in the room with Martin when the Golden State Valkyries picked her up in the expansion draft.
Gransee is originally from Wisconsin. She attended Milton High School in Milton, Wis., where she received several academic honors, according to her LinkedIn.
She is going incredibly viral this week after her latest post on social media.
Claire Gransee took to her Instagram story and posted a spicy outfit. She posed in a mirror while rocking a loose-fitting red shirt that was open on the sides to show off her curves. She was also sporting blue jeans and tennis shoes.
