Shane Gillis' girlfriend Grace Brassel gushed over New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge in a selfie posted on her Instagram story.
On Friday night, the social media star attended Gillis' comedy show in Florida when she ran into the MLB slugger backstage.
Brassel appeared thrilled to meet Judge as she put a shocked emoji over the selfie.
Judge's appearance at Gillis' show comes as the Yankees are in Tampa for spring training. Aside from Judge, Brassel also posted a photo with Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence over the weekend.
After his show in Jacksonville's VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, Gillis will head to Colorado Springs for a show on March 14.
Last week, Gillis hosted Saturday Night Live in New York City. Brassel, a New Jersey native, also traveled to support the comedian.

Gillis was previously a cast member on SNL but was fired after old footage of him using racial slurs surfaced online.
In February 2024, Gillis returned to the show and joked about his controversial past.
'I was actually, I was fired from this show a while ago. But... don't look that up, please, if you don't know who I am, please, don't Google that. It's fine, don't even worry about it,' Gillis said.
'I don't know, I probably shouldn't be up here, honestly,' he continued.
Brassel, a University of Delaware alum, had developed a following before she started dating Gillis. However, since their relationship went public, her following grew, as she now boasts 86,000 followers on Instagram.
