Move over Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes! Fans go wild for LSU’s new power couple

As Olivia Dunne prepares to follow boyfriend Paul Skenes out of college, LSU has already found a new athletic couple to fill the void.

Tigers basketball star Flaujae Johnson and football prospect Chris Hilton sent the internet wild this week by confirming their romance with a loved-up photo on social media, after the former revealed she was dating a mystery partner earlier this month.

On Monday, Hilton shared some photos of himself during LSU’s latest win over Oklahoma on social media, including a photo of him and Johnson at the end of the dump.

His girlfriend quoted the message on X and wrote: ‘So proud of you 3’ in reference to his jersey number.

Johnson, the daughter of famed rapper Camoflauge, posted photos earlier this month of her mystery love interest’s romantic gesture asking her to be his girlfriend.

The basketball guard and aspiring rapper gave fans a glimpse of the heartwarming moment, which included a light-up sign that read “Be My GF” alongside rose petals, red balloons, giant love hearts and candles.

Fans slowly started putting the pieces together and figured out that Hilton was the mystery man after the pair left comments on some of each other’s recent Instagram posts.

Johnson is currently in her freshman year at LSU and is eligible for next year’s WNBA Draft.

However, the 21-year-old is expected to remain in college for at least another year and enter the draft in 2026.

She is also following in her father’s footsteps as a rapper after signing with Jay Z’s Roc Nation company and releasing a music bideo with Lil Wayne in August.

On the basketball court, Johnson is one of LSU’s most important players after helping the school win its first national championship in 2023.

Hilton is now in his fourth year on the Tigers’ football roster.

So far this season, the wide receiver has five catches and two touchdown receptions for 130 yards.

Dunne and Skenes were LSU’s most famous power couple before it left to break into the MLB.

The pitching sensation was selected with the first overall pick in last year’s MLB Draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he has emerged as one of the hottest prospects in baseball after becoming a starter in the 2024 season.

Dunne, who is currently in her fifth year as a gymnast for LSU, has amassed a massive following of more than 13 million on TikTok and Instagram combined during her time in college.

She also helped the Tigers win a national gymnastics championship last season before entering her fifth and final year.

Skenes, meanwhile, was recently crowned NL Rookie of the Year after a stellar rookie season with the Pirates.
