Lexie Hull, the 26-year-old star guard for the Indiana Fever, is giving fans an exclusive peek behind the curtain of her personal life—revealing how she’s navigating wedding planning alongside the grueling WNBA season. Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE on the red carpet at the Glamour Women of the Year event at The Plaza Hotel on Tuesday, Hull shared candid details about her upcoming nuptials to fiancé Will Matthiessen.
“Honestly, we haven’t had too much time to dive into the details yet, but it’s been fun so far,” Hull admitted, acknowledging the unique challenge of planning a wedding while managing the demands of professional basketball. “That’s probably the hardest part, trying to plan while we’re both so busy.” Despite the hectic schedule, Hull radiates excitement and optimism, giving fans a rare glimpse of her life off the court.
Hull and Matthiessen announced their engagement on Instagram back in April with a sun-soaked beachside proposal. In the photos, Hull glowed in a blue dress and tan heels as Matthiessen got down on one knee, champagne in hand. “Engaged to my best friend 💛 cheers to forever!” Hull captioned the joyful post. The couple celebrated their fifth anniversary shortly after, highlighting the deep bond that has flourished alongside Hull’s professional career.
When asked whether her teammates, including stars Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham, would play a role in her big day, Hull kept things playful and mysterious. “They’ll definitely be at the wedding, but we’ll see about the bridal party lineup,” she teased. Nonetheless, Hull emphasized the strong friendships she’s built within the team, calling Clark “one of my best friends on the team” and praising the shared growth and mutual support that define their dynamic.
Off the court, Hull explains that the team’s camaraderie is a delicate balance of competition and fun. “We push each other in practice but also have so much fun,” she said, adding with a laugh that Clark often teases her about her tanning. “Oh, she definitely jokes about it! We gave her a hard time right back; she could probably use a little sun herself!” The friendly banter underscores the supportive environment that has helped Hull navigate a challenging season.
The 2025 WNBA season, marked by injuries that sidelined nearly half the roster at one point, was a true test for Hull and her teammates. Reflecting on the year, Hull described it as “a year of growth.” She credited the adversity they faced with bringing the team closer together, both on and off the court.
As fans eagerly anticipate both Hull’s wedding and the next chapter of her WNBA journey, it’s clear that the star guard is thriving in both worlds. From scoring points on the hardwood to planning a life with her fiancé, Hull is proving that passion, perseverance, and friendship can coexist—even when life gets overwhelmingly busy.
For fans and followers of the WNBA, Hull’s openness offers an inspiring reminder: even elite athletes balance personal milestones with professional ambitions—and they do it with heart, humor, and style.
