Connor McCaffery is one proud boyfriend!
After weeks of anticipation, basketball star Caitlin Clark finally made her WNBA debut on May 14, and McCaffery made sure to celebrate the big moment on social media.
Taking to his Instagram stories, McCaffery, 25, shared a video of Clark, 22, all smiles as she walked into the arena for her first WNBA regular season game.
Clark had a mixed performance—she scored a team-high 20 points but also had 10 turnovers, the most ever in a WNBA debut.
McCaffery had a tough night as well. The former Iowa basketball player, now a team assistant for the NBA’s Indiana Pacers, saw his team crushed by the New York Knicks in Game 5 of their second-round series.
Off the court, the couple is going strong. On April 24, Clark and McCaffery celebrated their one-year anniversary. “One year of the best mems w my fav person ? you make everyday better and I can’t wait for many more adventures together… love you ???,” Clark captioned her Instagram post.
She included a black-and-white photo of her and McCaffery sitting on a sofa, smiling. In the cute snap, she leaned against him as he held his arms around her.
McCaffery and Clark started dating in April 2023, but the couple didn’t make their relationship public until four months later when Clark posted a photo with him on Instagram. “Best end to summer,” she captioned a carousel of images featuring the couple cuddled up on a boat.
In January 2024, Connor posted a tribute to Clark on her 22nd birthday. “Happy Birthday 22. Wish I was there to celebrate with you — you deserve the best day. Golden Bday/T Swift year will be the best yet,” he wrote. “With all that you’ve already accomplished, there is so much more in store for you and your special self. I admire you in every way and I love you.”
