Indiana Fever guard Lexie Hull and her fiancé, Will Matthiessen, just celebrated five years together. 

On Thursday afternoon, the athlete celebrated this milestone with a photo dump on Instagram, sharing a bunch of sweet and candid moments from their relationship over the years. 

“I love this life with you ," the 25-year-old wrote in the caption. "cheers to 5 years!”

The post quickly picked up love and support from friends, fans and fellow WNBA players. Several of Hull’s Fever teammates dropped supportive comments, and Chicago Sky's Angel Reese chimed in too, leaving two heart-eye emojis to celebrate the couple’s big relationship milestone.

Hull and Reese have developed a strong friendship and bond as teammates on the Rose BC in the Unrivaled league. Their connection is evident through their interactions both on and off the court, and they are constantly interacting with each other on social media. 

Hull and Matthiessen's fifth anniversary comes a little over a week after it was announced that they are engaged. 

The couple first met while attending Stanford University, where Hull played for the women's basketball team and Matthiessen was a standout player on their baseball team.

According to his LinkedIn, Matthiessen was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2019 and played professionally before transitioning to a career in finance. 

Drafted sixth overall in the 2022 WNBA Draft, Hull quickly established herself as a reliable player for the Fever. Before her professional career, Hull played basketball at Stanford and was a part of the 2021 NCAA Championship team.
