Caitlin Clark Reacts to Gabbie Marshall’s Big News
Among the flood of congratulatory messages, one stood out for its pure, unbridled energy—that of WNBA superstar and former teammate Caitlin Clark.
The Big Announcement

Marshall, who was a defensive cornerstone and key leader for the Hawkeyes during their historic runs to the 2023 and 2024 National Championship games, posted a series of heartwarming photos from the proposal. The caption revealed the date of the engagement as February 18, 2026, and shared an extra bit of joy:
“2-18-26 WE’RE ENGAGED!! 💍 So excited for this next chapter of our lives! And we’ve got a new friend to join us for the ride 🐶,” Marshall wrote, referencing both her fiancé and a new puppy.
Caitlin Clark’s High-Energy Response

Clark, known for her “clutch” performances on the court, was just as quick to deliver in the comments section. Channeling the same intensity she brings to the Indiana Fever, she left two enthusiastic messages for her “sista”:
- “LETSSSSS RAGEEEE💕💕💕💕💕💕”
- “CONGRATS SISTA.”
The interaction quickly went viral, with fans celebrating the enduring bond between the two players. While Clark has transitioned into a global basketball icon, Marshall chose to retire from the sport after the 2023-24 season to pursue a master’s degree in occupational therapy at the University of North Carolina.
A Reunion in Indianapolis?
The news of the engagement comes with an even sweeter twist for fans of the duo. Recent reports suggest that Marshall and Touro may be relocating to Indianapolis after her partner accepted a job in the city.
This move would place Marshall in the same backyard as Clark, who currently leads the Indiana Fever. For a pair that spent four years rewriting the record books in Iowa City, the prospect of being in the same city again—even if one is on the court and the other is in the stands—is a “full circle” moment for the Hawkeye family.
