While the two athletes had previously kept their romance low-key, subtle hints had surfaced since October. Later in November, Johnson teased her followers with a mysterious Instagram Story showing a man beside a bed adorned with rose petals and a neon sign that read, “Be My GF.”

Hilton added to the speculation with a post following LSU’s win over Oklahoma, where he shared images of the couple, including one embracing in front of a mirror. Flau'jae Johnson has previously spoken candidly about her preferences when it comes to relationships. In an interview with Baller Alert in April, she shared:

“I don’t see myself dating a regular person. Can’t date a NARP. ‘Normal ass Regular Person.’”

She also highlighted the qualities she values, including kindness, humor, and a positive attitude.

The LSU Tigers women’s basketball team holds a 16-0 record and ranks sixth nationally. Johnson is averaging 20.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game.

Beyond her athletic achievements, Johnson has become a savvy businesswoman, securing NIL deals with major brands like Puma, Meta, JBL, and Taco Bell.
