Love and sports often collide in the world of college athletics. But when rapper and athlete Flau’jae Johnson openly showers praise on her LSU football team beau, fans obviously take notice. A short four-word statement has set social media abuzz with fans curiously following this couple, whose romance continues online.
Flau’jae, a point guard for the LSU Tigers Women’s Basketball team, has been a social media favorite for some years. As such, it might not have been news for the Big 4 fans when she revealed her relationship with the Tigers’ wide receiver, Chris Hilton Jr. Why, you ask? We’ll get to that in a minute.
But right now, her latest IG story is just another sweet reminder that the couple’s relationship is going as strong as it possibly could. Re-sharing a post by LSU Football’s official Instagram handle, Flau’jae Johnson captioned her story, “Fastest on the turf,” highlighting Hilton sprinting in the image.
If you’re worried you might miss out on her stories, don’t worry, we got you covered.
And as for the earlier question, on April 2024, Johnson appeared on the Baller Alert Show, and when asked about her preferences, Flau’jae had a candid response: “I don’t see myself dating a regular person. Can’t date a NARP. ‘Normal A** Regular Person.’” Still confused?
The Lady Tigers’ #4 later clarified that for her, NARPS are usually non-athletes. “I’m attracted to athletes, ’cause I like builds. You can’t date no short boy. You gotta be a good person. Gotta be able to make me laugh, funny, a good heart. I don’t need anybody like negative energy,” she elaborated.
Well, Hilton Jr. checks all those boxes, wouldn’t you say?
Inside Flau’jae Johnson and Chris Hilton Jr.’s Love Story
For the uninitiated, fans might construe this as Johnson hard-launching her new relationship. But a quick scroll through her posts proves otherwise. The couple officially announced their relationship on Christmas Day last year. The two shared a collaborated post featuring them in their Christmas outfits together. Yet, fans weren’t exactly surprised.
Johnson posted a series of stories in early November last year, cryptically showing her fans a love interest in her life. Johnson shared a black-and-white photo of herself, captioning it, “Y’all won’t believe what just happened” followed by another slide that gave the fans the biggest hint. The next slide showed a bed covered in balloons and candles, with big LED lights spelling out ‘BE MY GF.’ So, while fans knew that their favorite baller was seeing someone, they were just waiting to know who exactly.
Their questions would receive an answer a month later. In December, Johnson responded to a fan’s question on Snapchat. The fan asked, “How did you and 3 get together?” referring to the number Chris Hilton Jr. wears for the LSU Tigers. In response, Flau’jae posted a photo of her and Hilton clad in LSU jerseys, with the caption, “We met at an NIL event and fell in love.”
Since then, they’ve been leaving adorable comments under each other’s posts, confirming their exclusivity. Fans have now dubbed the two as LSU’s power couple. Despite things off the court, Flau’jae hasn’t let her guard down when it comes to basketball. The LSU Tigers’ junior guard has averaged 20 PPG, 5.8 RPG, and 2.8 APG while shooting at a field goal percentage of 48.4.
While Flau’jae and Chris Hilton Jr. continue to thrive as LSU’s favorite power couple, it’s clear they’re just getting started—both on and off the field. Whether it’s Flau’jae dropping bars in the studio or buckets on the court, and Hilton burning defenders with his speed, one thing’s for sure: this duo knows how to keep fans entertained. And as they continue to cheer each other on, we’ll all be watching to see what’s next for the rising stars of LSU.
