The 24-year-old began her professional career as a TV host. She eventually joined an art gallery to pursue her passion for art. Cruz's Instagram profile is public and she's shared many of her creations there.
Cruz was spotted wearing one of Poole's shirts in October 2021. The influencer also posted a picture from a Golden State Warriors game.
Both Poole and Cruz were seen rocking a custom-designed shirt that said “Golden State, Poole Party!” which hadn’t been released to the world yet.
Furthermore, Kim Cruz reportedly turned off the comments on all her social media posts that showed her attending GSW games.
