If there’s one iconic volleyball bestie duo that’s got fans in a permanent chokehold, it’s 100% Lexi Rodriguez and Maisie Boesiger. Ever since Lexi graduated last December and dipped into the pro league life, the duo had been MIA from our feeds for a hot minute… but then, a surprise reunion blessed the timeline. On January 22, Lexi hit the ‘gram with a cozy little mirror selfie featuring none other than Maisie and Bergen Reilly, captioning it, “my girls.” And like, if that didn’t already have us kicking our feet, Lexi and Maisie followed it up with a hype TikTok moment where they gave the ultimate “fit check” before heading off to watch Nebraska take on USC at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Maisie kicked things off with full fashion inspiration: “Okay, I’ll go first. I have this Nebraska Husker shirt and this charm necklace from Collectible Charms. And a leather jacket from Princess Polly….. And then some bracelets from Nolan’s family’s jewelry store, her teen jeweler’s.” Lexi then popped in with her signature slay mode: “Okay, I have on a Skims long sleeve, low rise Levi’s, my Adidas puffer, and my Adidas Valentine’s shoes….. So slay.” And now, Lexi Rodriguez is melting hearts all over again as she drops the sweetest little message for her Nebraska bestie, while also sprinkling in a wholesome update that’s got fans grinning from ear to ear.

Maisie Boesiger just came through with the life update of the year, and yes, everyone’s collective heart basically burst into a puddle of sparkly joy. She hopped on Instagram and dropped a dreamy montage from her actual Hawaiian proposal (like, beachfront fairytale vibes!), where her longtime love Nolan Schwarting popped the big question. And honestly? We’re all still recovering from the cuteness. Of course, her ride-or-die Lexi Rodriguez wasn’t about to stay quiet. Lexi immediately shared the post to her story and wrote, “my beautiful bestie, i’m so happy for you both,” and then totally tugged at all our heartstrings with, “the day we always talked about finally happened & my heart is so full for you.”

Cue the happy tears, please. But wait, there’s more. Lexi wasn’t done spreading love just yet. She also slid into the comment section with full-blown bestie energy and dropped the most chaotic and adorable reaction ever: “IM LITERALLY OBSESSED OMG YES YES YES SO HAPPY FOR YOU.” Like girl, same. The internet pretty much erupted in squeals and double-taps, and honestly, this whole thing feels like a rom-com scene written by fate.

Okay, but let’s just take a sec and talk about how it wasn’t just Lexi throwing love bombs for her bestie as the whole Husker fam pulled up with full hearts and ALL the feels. Like, the comments section was straight up glowing with joy! Taylor Landfair came in hot with the hype, writing, “OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG YES MISS MAIS!!!!!!!” and Bergen Reilly was right behind her with, “YAY SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS.” You could practically hear the happy screaming through the screen.

And it didn’t stop there; Andi Jackson jumped in with the softest vibes ever: “MY HEARTTTT CONGRATULATIONS,” and Kennedi Orr chimed in, “Congratulations❤️❤️❤️ So happy for you both.” Like HELLO? The Husker girl gang really knows how to show up and show out for each other. But if we’re being super honest here… Maisie and Lexi? Yeah, they’re the blueprint. The dynamic duo. The ride-or-die besties we all secretly wish we had.

Lexi Rodriguez and Maisie are indeed bestie goals!

Let’s take a lil’ walk down memory lane, back to November 2024, when Lexi Rodriguez hit us all in the feels with that goodbye letter. “Dear Nebraska, I can’t even begin to put into words what being a part of this program and representing this state has meant to me these past 4 years,” cue the tears already. From those first steps onto the court to rocking that iconic Nebraska jersey like a queen, Lexi made it clear this wasn’t just volleyball; it was a whole era. Fast-forward to her LOVB Omaha chapter, and yes, the vibes were different, but the bestie energy? Still strong. 

Maisie Boesiger came through with the ultimate tearjerker on TikTok back on January 6th, dropping a whole feels-heavy tribute to Lexi. The video started off all sunshine and laughter with them strolling hand-in-hand, then boom; it hits us with a dreamy beach moment, followed by their emotional senior night where the tears were falling and hugs felt like forever. Just when you think you’ve emotionally recovered, the audio rolls in: “We had some laughs…it was fun. You know, all good things must come to an end eventually.” BRB, crying in the corner. And Maisie’s caption? “Me inside when I see Lexi in her new jersey.” Yeah… friendship core ache unlocked.

But just when our hearts were still healing, Maisie dropped another sweet lil’ bomb. She shared a video dedicated to her two soul sisters, Lexi and Maggie Mendelson, dancing and singing like no one’s watching in a parking lot. Her caption? “Oh what I would give to play with these 2 again…” followed by the emotional stab: “Getting sad going through drafts.” Tagging both of them, Maisie reminded everyone this trio is built different. From Halloween carousels that read “Happy Halloween from your favorite duo” to surprise hug attacks and sentimental TikToks, the Lexi-Maisie bond is the stuff of legends. And let’s not forget that dreamy goodie bag that Maisie created for Lexi in collaboration with Skyler Pierce; filled with slippers, a Stanley, mocktails, and even an espresso martini kit. If there’s a handbook on how to be the best bestie? These girls wrote it in glitter ink.
