In the next slide, the couple can be seen walking across a busy road at night holding hands. Another photograph showed them beaming at the camera. The carousel of pictures also featured an image of Marshall attending one of Loyd's WNBA games.

The 6-foot-5 forward enjoyed the most minutes for Miami last season, starting 23 games and averaging 7.7 points and 4.5 rebounds. She joined the Hurricanes after spending three seasons at Notre Dame.

Her girlfriend, Loyd, a two-time WNBA champion, also played college basketball for the Fighting Irish. Loyd was the first pick in the 2015 WNBA draft, selected by the Seattle Storm.
