Indiana Fever guard Lexie Hull, known for her sharpshooting and resilient play on the court, showed her supportive side off it on December 18, 2025, following a scary injury to her fiancé, Will Matthiessen.
Matthiessen, a former Stanford baseball standout and minor league pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates organization, suffered a broken right arm during what was described as a routine activity. Though details of the exact incident remain private, sources close to the couple indicate it was a non-athletic mishap that led to the fracture. The injury comes as a setback for Matthiessen, who retired from professional baseball due to prior injuries and has since transitioned into a successful career in finance at Sapient Capital in Indianapolis.
Hull, 26, took to social media to share a touching message, expressing her love and encouragement during his recovery. In a post accompanied by photos of the couple, she wrote words of strength and optimism, reminding fans of the deep bond they’ve shared since meeting at Stanford University in 2018. “You’ve overcome so much already, and I know you’ll come back stronger from this,” part of her message read, emphasizing their partnership through life’s challenges. “I’m here every step of the way—love you endlessly.”
The couple, engaged since April 2025 after a romantic beachside proposal, have been open about their relationship. They celebrated their fifth anniversary earlier this year and have navigated busy schedules—Hull’s rising WNBA career and Matthiessen’s professional shift—with mutual support. Hull’s twin sister, Lacie, and Fever teammates, including Caitlin Clark, have often highlighted the pair’s wholesome dynamic.
Fans flooded the comments with well-wishes, praising Hull’s heartfelt words and the couple’s resilience. “Lexie and Will are relationship goals—even in tough times,” one supporter noted. As Matthiessen begins rehabilitation, Hull continues preparing for the upcoming WNBA season, where the Fever aim to build on their playoff appearance.
This moment underscores the personal side of athletes, reminding us that behind the highlights are real-life trials met with love and determination. The couple’s story continues to inspire, proving that together, they can handle anything thrown their way.
