Robert Griffin III\u2019s wife shared a loved-up photo of the couple Tuesday on Instagram \u2014 after she was thrown into the middle of the ex-NFL quarterback\u2019s feud<\/a> with Ryan Clark, his former teammate and one-time ESPN colleague, earlier this week.<\/p>\n

In a photo posted on her Instagram Stories, Grete can be seen puckering up to the camera with heart animations around her face as she sat next to Griffin, her husband of seven years.<\/p>\n

She captioned the post with a heart hands emoji and Griffin\u2019s Instagram handle.<\/p>\n

Griffin, 35, and his marriage to Grete, with whom he shares three daughters, was referenced Monday by Clark, who had been responding to the Fox Sports personality\u2019s take<\/a> on the Angel Reese-Caitlin Clark rivalry, with the discussion taking a severe turn off the court.<\/p>\n

In the Fever\u2019s season-opening win Saturday against the Sky, Clark was called for a fragrant foul on Reese<\/a>, with the Chicago star trying to confront her Indiana rival in the aftermath.<\/p>\n

Griffin assessed the situation in a post shared on X<\/a> that same day and said Reese cannot \u201ccontinue the lie that she doesn\u2019t dislike Caitlin Clark.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know what hatred looks like. Angel Reese HATES Caitlin Clark. Not some basketball rivalry hate either. Hate,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Griffin then expanded on the matter<\/a> on his \u201cOutta Pocket\u201d podcast, with video of the episode featuring Grete in the background.<\/p>\n

In a post shared Monday on X<\/a>, Clark, 45, said Griffin \u201cplays into the narrative that Reese is the villain of Clark\u2019s hero origin story,\u201d including race and the former quarterback\u2019s personal life in his counterpoint.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe one thing we know about RG3 is he\u2019s not having conversations at his home about what black women have to endure in this country, about what young, black women and athletes like Angel Reese have had to deal with being on the opposite side of Caitlin Clark\u2019s rise and ascension into stardom,\u201d Clark said on \u201cThe Pivot\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 If you\u2019re RG3, when\u2019s the last time within your household you\u2019ve had a conversation about what she\u2019s dealing with? You haven\u2019t been able to do that because in both of your marriages, you\u2019ve been married to white women. You haven\u2019t had opportunities to have those conversations to educate you on what they\u2019re feeling, what black women deal with, what they\u2019re seeing when they think of a young Angel Reese.\u201d<\/p>\n

RGIII saying he could recognize \u201chate when \u2018he\u2019 see(s) it\u201d, when referring to Angel Reese\u2019s feelings toward Caitlin Clark was irresponsible, but not at all surprising. Clark\u2019s the biggest star in women\u2019s basketball, & deservedly so. No need to beat up Reese to add shine to it.\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/u2IDFwctf0<\/a><\/p>\n

As Clark\u2019s video gained traction online, Griffin fired back at his former Washington teammate for crossing a line.<\/p>\n

\u201cRyan Clark didn\u2019t like my take on Angel Reese hating Caitlin Clark. That\u2019s fine. Disagreement is part of the game. But instead of debating my point, he personally attacked me and my family,\u201d Griffin said<\/a> Monday evening on X.<\/p>\n

Ryan Clark spoke about Robert Griffin III and his personal life on \u201cThe Pivot\u201d podcast. The Pivot\/X<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 Ryan Clark personally attacking me and my family personally over a sports opinion is cowardly, spineless, and weak. Ryan Clark personally attacking me and my family personally over a sports opinion is a bad look for ESPN and for him as a man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clark hit back at Griffin, whom he played alongside in Washington for one season in 2014, stating Monday<\/a>, \u201cI didn\u2019t attack your wife. I spoke on what you do on social media and Tv. Like I said. I met your wife and she seemed like a lovely lady that was worth more than the color of her skin! You be good bruh.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn no way tripping on any of it. Know exactly who I am, what I said, why I said it, & who I said it for! I can live with everything else,\u201d he wrote in a separate X post.<\/p>\n

Social media posts from Clark and Griffin continue to receive heightened attention following the public spat, including a since-deleted TikTok that featured Griffin and Grete with the caption, \u201cWhen someone has something to say to my non-confrontational husband,\u201d per the Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Clark-Reese rivalry dates back to their college days, with the WNBA stars clashing in the 2023 national championship game, when Reese and the LSU Tigers topped Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes, 102-85.<\/p>\n
