LSU women's basketball star Flau'Jae Johnson had a fun "snow day" with her boyfriend, Chris Hilton Jr., who plays football for the Tigers. Johnson shared short videos of the couple throwing snow at each other on her Instagram story on Tuesday.
"Snow day," the LSU guard captioned one of the videos.
Johnson and Hilton Jr. confirmed their romance in December 2024. The couple went Instagram-official after Johnson dropped a series of photos with the junior wide receiver in matching holiday pajamas.
Meanwhile, Johnson continues to produce stellar performances for the Tigers, establishing herself as one of the best women's basketball players in the nation. She has also signed lucrative Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) deals with big brands, currently valued at $1.5 million, according to On3.
Flau'Jae Johnson's late takeover in LSU's win vs Vanderbilt keeps the Tigers unbeaten
No. 2 LSU extended its unbeaten run after defeating Vanderbilt 83-77 on Jan. 14. Flau'Jae Johnson stepped up for the Tigers in the final quarter of the game, scoring 11 points to secure the win. She led the team with 25 points, shooting 10-of-21 from the field. She also recorded five rebounds, four assists and a block.
The Tigers struggled against their SEC opponents, with the two teams levelling at 21-21 after the first quarter and 37-37 at halftime.
"We should have started better today, for sure," Johnson said after the game. "But this is the SEC. Every game is gonna be a grind, but we made the game harder than it had to be."
The LSU star is averaging 20.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists on 49.3% shooting per game this season.
As a freshman, Johnson earned the SEC Freshman of the Year award after helping LSU win the NCAA championship in the 2022-23 season. She was also named to the All-SEC Second Team in her sophomore year. With her current stats, Johnson is regarded as a strong contender for the National Player of the Year and will likely be named to the First-Team All-American squad.
That said, she'll look to continue her stellar run as the Tigers take on Dawn Staley's second-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks on Friday.
