New York Jets star Sauce Gardner spiced up his social media Monday when he appeared to hint at a relationship with rapper Ice Spice.
The two-time Pro Bowler set social media alight as his latest Instagram post sparked rumors of a romance with the Grammy-nominated artist.
The cornerback shares a series of photos of himself out on the streets of the Big Apple, including one of the 24-year-old posing in front of a matte grey Rolls-Royce.
But it was the company that the NFL player was keeping that truly caught fans’ attention.
The carousel of snaps revealed the Hip-Hop artist as she reached for the handle of the passenger-side door.
Gardner tagged Ice Spice in the pictures with the Bronx native commenting, ‘1,’ – the football star’s jersey number.

The post left Gardner’s 1.1 million followers stunned with many questioning if they had hard launched their relationship.
The pair previously set tongues wagging when they were spotted together in February in a TikTok User’s video gone wrong.
They were captured on an escalator together with Ice Spice’s security lurking nearby.
They also reportedly attended Druski’s ‘Coulda Been Love’ YouTube series premiere party together as well as the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars bash in March.
Ice Spice is a close friend of Taylor Swift, who is famously dating Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce, and collaborated with the pop sensation on her 2022 hit, ‘Karma.’
The rapper has also been a frequent member of the songstress’s game day posse, attending multiple Chiefs games with Swift.
Ice Spice, along with Este Haim, flanked the 14-time Grammy Award winner as she strolled into Caesars Superdome in New Orleans ahead of February’s Super Bowl.

She was also in attendance at Allegiant Stadium the year prior, this time to see Kelce and the Chiefs emerge victorious in the NFL’s Big Game.
However, she appears to have now switched allegiance to Gardner and the woeful Jets, having reportedly attended a New York game last season.
Gardner and the Jets struggled under the leadership of quarterback Aaron Rodgers last season.
The veteran signal caller and the franchise parted ways in February following the arrival of new head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey.
