LSU women’s basketball sensation Flau’jae Johnson delighted her followers with a festive surprise by confirming her relationship with boyfriend Chris Hilton Jr. , the Tigers football star.
On Christmas Eve, Johnson took to Instagram to post a collection of holiday-themed photoshoot snaps featuring herself and Hilton. The adorable images show the duo hand-in-hand, beaming in coordinated pajamas.
“Santa Listened #MerryChristmas,” Johnson captioned the heartwarming post, which has already racked up over 240,000 likes.
Before making it Instagram official, Johnson had teased fans about her romantic life with cryptic clues.
In November, the 21-year-old shared Instagram stories showing an anonymous beau near a bed adorned with rose petals and candles, under a neon sign stating “Be My GF.”
Hilton first gained national attention at Zachary High School, where he excelled in both football and track and field. Ranked as the No.4 overall prospect in Louisiana and No. 54 in the nation by 247 Sports, he committed to the Tigers but was plagued by injuries during his first two seasons with LSU.
During his sophomore year, Hilton played in 11 games, starting two, and made 13 catches for 225 yards and two touchdowns. His best performance came in the ReliaQuest Bowl against Wisconsin, where he recorded a season-high three receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown.
This year, Hilton has made five catches for 130 yards and two touchdowns, both of which were scored against Oklahoma on November 30.
Meanwhile, Johnson is solidifying her status as one of the top women’s college basketball players in the country. The guard and rapper has started all 14 games this season, averaging career-highs in points (20.9), rebounds (six) and assists (3.1), while shooting an impressive 51.9% from the field and 41.8% from three-point range.
Her outstanding performance has helped the Tigers maintain a flawless 14-0 record, ranking them sixth in the nation, trailing only UCLA, South Carolina, Notre Dame, USC, and Texas.
