\n\t\t\tIce Spice and NFL star Sauce Gardner are now Instagram-official.\u00a0 Ice Spice, 25, took to Instagram on Tuesday, April 29, to share a series of photos that included Gardner, 24, a cornerback for the New York Jets.

\u201cShe from New York, I play in New York,\u201d he explained. \u201cShe real talented when it come to what she do. Same thing for me. Two people that get hated on, that\u2019s really good at what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the image, Ice Spice rocked a pink hoodie and pants while Gardner stood behind her in a white sweatsuit and smiled. The image appears to have been taken down since. Earlier that month, Gardner uploaded a photo of the pair standing next to a Rolls-Royce. He later deleted the post.<\/p>\n
