In a heartwarming display of friendship across coasts, former Iowa Hawkeyes teammates Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin continue to showcase their unwavering bond despite playing for different WNBA teams. Clark, now a pivotal player for the Indiana Fever, and Martin, recently joining the Las Vegas Aces, have maintained a close relationship since their college days.
Their enduring friendship, cultivated during their time as roommates at Iowa, remains strong, evident in their frequent interactions on social media platforms. Recently, Martin captured the attention of fans with a series of photos on Instagram alongside her Aces teammates, captioned simply, “I love my job.”
Clark’s response was nothing short of heartfelt. Known for her dynamic presence on the court, Clark took a moment to express her emotions with a simple yet profound message: “love you.” This display of affection resonated deeply with fans, underscoring the genuine connection between the two athletes.
But Clark’s support didn’t end there. In another poignant gesture, she commented on a photo featuring Martin’s mother, affectionately referred to as “Jilly Bean.” Clark’s comment, “Just here for jilly bean,” illuminated the personal ties that bind the two friends beyond basketball.
Their story is a testament to the enduring camaraderie among former Hawkeyes players now making their mark in the WNBA. Despite the demands of professional basketball and the miles between them, Clark and Martin’s friendship serves as a beacon of solidarity and support.
Fans eagerly await the next chapter in their journey, particularly when the Indiana Fever and the Las Vegas Aces face off on September 11. Until then, supporters from both camps will continue to celebrate and champion the successes of these remarkable athletes, united by a bond that transcends the game.
