Caitlin Clark knows talent when she sees it—and when former Iowa teammate Kate Martin shared a sun-soaked set of photos with her Golden State Valkyries squad and family, Clark delivered peak fan energy. The caption? A simple, “So chill,” and what followed was Clark flooding Martin’s post with three back-to-back comments: “Love u,” “Hot slay auntie,” and “Yezzzz queen.”
It’s the kind of moment fans love: two pro players rooting for each other, beyond game stats and box scores. Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin reconnected at Indiana’s All-Star pregame practices this spring—something Clark has said she hopes turns into a special duo in the WNBA someday.
Martin is having a solid season herself—transitioning from the Aces to the expansion Valkyries, she’s embraced the Bay Area role with work ethic and a lighter on-court demeanor. Her attitude is the glue that makes her a fan favorite and a perfect match for Clark’s big-stage swagger.
For Clark, seeing Martin living her best life—post-draft grind, pro life, and no shortage of confidence—hits close to home. That trio of comments? It wasn’t a routine gesture. It was a bold serve from a superstar to a superstar—and fans are here for the friendship.
Whether they end up betraying WNBA opposites or reuniting on the same court, Caitlin Clark already made one thing clear: she’s rooting loudly for Martin. And that kind of love, on or off the court, is what makes headlines.
Kate Martin Opens Up On Potential Reunion With Caitlin Clark
What if we saw Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin back together on the court? Martin thinks it would be awesome. During a Golden State Valkyries media availability, she teased the idea of teaming up with her former Hawkeye teammate—saying, “That would obviously be a lot of fun.”
Their Iowa chemistry was legendary. Clark called Martin “probably the best leader” she’s ever played with. Every coach in the locker room agreed: Clark plays loud, but Martin holds it all together.
Since entering the WNBA together in 2024, their paths diverged in the pros. Clark now anchors the Fever and dominates headlines, while Martin has embraced her role in Golden State’s rotation, earning a reputation as a gritty role player and ‘glue’ piece. Still, a future reunion isn’t off the table—either on the floor or in a social media feed.
For fans hungry for more Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin, those three comments—“Love u,” “Hot slay auntie,” “Yezzzz queen”—were more than social media heat; they were a reminder of what’s possible when two legends cross paths again.
