“75 and sunny but there's a @pwhl_frost advisory at Allianz”

Taylor Heise reposted it on her Instagram stories and wrote:

“Let’s go @mnufc,” followed by a hand heart and sparkling heart emoji.

Taylor Heise celebrated her second anniversary with Minnesota Golden Gophers alumni

Earlier this year, Taylor Heise marked her second anniversary with her partner Parker Fox, who is a former Minnesota Golden Gophers basketball standout. In February, Heise shared two special Instagram stories celebrating the occasion.

The first was a selfie of the couple in matching purple outfits. The second was a collage of six photos showing moments from their relationship. In one picture, the couple was seen riding in an open-top vehicle both wearing casual hoodies.

Another photo showed Fox indoors with their pet dog. A third featured Fox eating ice cream, wearing a T-shirt with a dog print. They were also pictured together on a baseball field in matching "Twin Cities" jerseys. Heise added a black-and-white photo of Fox outside with a flight of drinks and one of him in a car, dressed in a gray jacket and cap.

Heise also featured Parker Fox in her 2024 recap carousel on Instagram. The Frost star had a strong 2024 season as she was named MVP of the PWHL playoffs and helped lead Minnesota Frost to win the first-ever Walter Cup. This year, the Frost are currently tied 1-1 in their first round playoffs series against the Toronto Sceptres.
