Lexie Hull, who recently announced her engagement, was showered with love and balloons as her teammates pulled off a sweet surprise during their workout session.
Hull got engaged to longtime boyfriend Will Matthiessen this past weekend and was clearly still glowing when she walked into practice.
But she wasn’t expecting what came next, with Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston racing over mid-session to deliver the surprise. Clark sprinted across the court to place a tiara labeled “bride” on Hull‘s head, while Boston followed with a bunch of celebratory balloons. The entire Fever squad erupted with cheers and claps as they circled around their teammate.
The Fever captured the adorable moment in a now-viral Instagram video, captioning the post: “A surprise for the newly engaged Lexie Hull after today’s workout.”
Hull, for her part, had the perfect reaction both in person and online.
“That’s so cute, guys,” she said in the video, clearly touched by the gesture.
Later, she reposted the clip to her Instagram Story with a hilarious caption: “My new contact photo for Caitlin Clark.”
Stanford love and WNBA rise
Hull‘s engagement announcement came just days prior, when she shared the big news with fans through an Instagram carousel of photos with Matthiessen. The couple’s story is a classic Stanford romance: both were standout athletes for the Cardinal.
While Hull carved out a career in women’s basketball, Matthiessen pursued professional baseball after being selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the sixth round of the 2019 MLB Draft.
He played in the minor leagues until his recent retirement in March 2024. Hull and Matthiessen remained together throughout their respective careers, and now they’re officially headed for the aisle.
Hull was drafted sixth overall by Indiana in the 2022 WNBA Draft and has quietly become a key contributor on a team that’s rapidly gaining attention.
Last season, she helped the Fever clinch their first playoff berth since 2016 – a significant turnaround for the once-struggling franchise.

"We believe this is an innovative approach -- a new structure and governance model that thoughtfully contemplates how we strengthen Athletics, protect and promote the University and open up new opportunities for growth," Kentucky president Eli Capilouto said in a statement. "It's a foundation and model that we are calling Champions Blue. Athletics and its success have always been the result […]

Pětibojařka Hlaváčková je ve finále Světového poháru v Budapešti
Pro Barboru Hartmanovou, Kateřinu Váňovou a Veroniku Novotnou, která v maďarské metropoli loni vybojovala osmé místo, skončila soutěž ve čtvrtečním semifinále. Stejně v pátek dopadli Matěj Lukeš a Vojtěch Dáňa, už ve středeční kvalifikaci skončily naděje Jana Tomana a Marka Grycze.Hlaváčková se na čtvrtou příčku ve skupině B posunula v závěrečném běhu kombinovaném s laserovou střelbou, před nímž figurovala na 12. místě.
