Gabbie Marshall announced her engagement to longtime boyfriend Spencer Touro on Sunday, and caitlin clark led a wave of congratulations from former Iowa teammates. The exchange highlights the continued personal and professional ties between two players whose paths diverged after their run at Iowa.

Marshall, 25, shared the announcement on Instagram with the caption: “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 🐶. ” The post identified Spencer Touro as her longtime boyfriend and signaled the couple’s next steps together.
Former teammates flood comments; Clark’s two celebratory messages stand out
Former Iowa teammates filled the post’s comments with congratulations. Clark led the celebration with two enthusiastic replies, writing first “LETSSSSS RAGEEEE💕💕💕💕💕💕” and then “CONGRATS SISTA. ” Those messages were singled out among the many responses to Marshall’s post.
Marshall’s role at Iowa and academic path after 2024
Marshall played alongside Clark throughout their Iowa careers, serving as a guard who was a reliable starter and defensive presence. Her steady play and leadership were described as integral parts of the Hawkeyes’ success from 2020 through 2024. After college, Marshall chose not to pursue a WNBA career and instead focused on her academics, earning a master’s degree in occupational therapy at the University of North Carolina.
Caitlin Clark’s college accomplishments and professional profile
Caitlin Clark rewrote the NCAA record books as the Division I all-time leading scorer, led the nation in both scoring and assists in multiple seasons, and guided Iowa to national championship game appearances in 2023 and 2024. She collected multiple accolades, including two Wooden Awards, two Naismith Awards for national player of the year, and three Big Ten Player of the Year awards, and her impact on and off the court made her one of the sport’s most celebrated players. After college she became a WNBA star with the Indiana Fever, a team she plays for in Indianapolis.
Off-court moves: media work, national team news and Marshall’s planned relocation
Clark’s profile has expanded beyond college and the WNBA: she will team up with Angel Reese on the women’s World Cup qualifying team, and she joined a national broadcaster as a contributor at Madison Square Garden. She is also set to make her debut in the broadcasting booth on Feb. 1 for an NBA Sunday night broadcast. In related moves, Marshall revealed she will be relocating to Indianapolis with her fiancé after her partner accepted a job there — the same city where Clark plays for the Fever. A separate related headline noted that Klay Thompson’s father made an offer to Clark tied to a Lakers appearance ahead of her broadcaster role.
Iowa’s program and the continuing connection between the two players
The Iowa women’s basketball program has been framed as distinctively defined by the periods before and after Clark, and commentary in the context described the post-CC era as still going well. Despite choosing different post-college directions — Marshall in occupational therapy and Clark into the WNBA and media — the two have maintained a strong bond, regularly supporting one another on social media and in person.
