Caitlin Clark is marking a milestone away from the hardwood, sharing a personal message to celebrate three years with longtime partner Connor McCaffery. The Indiana Fever star took to Instagram this week with a short but heartfelt caption as the couple quietly commemorated their dating anniversary.
Clark’s post featured the Indiana Fever standout dressed in blue, smiling across at McCaffery, who wore a suit for the occasion. McCaffery responded with a message of his own on social media, calling Clark his “most beautiful best friend” while pairing the caption with a heart and infinity emoji.
His post included a more relaxed moment, showing the two together in a golf cart, highlighting the off-court dynamic that has become a consistent presence in both of their public lives.
According to Fox Sports, the relationship traces back to their time at the University of Iowa, where both were part of the school’s basketball programs. Clark went on to deliver one of the most decorated careers in college basketball history, while McCaffery logged six seasons with the Hawkeyes under his father, longtime head coach Fran McCaffery.
Since leaving Iowa, McCaffery has transitioned into coaching, spending time with the Indiana Pacers as a team assistant before taking on a role at Butler University. Meanwhile, Clark has continued her rapid ascent at the professional level, becoming one of the league’s most visible young stars.
WNBA fans have frequently spotted McCaffery courtside at Fever games, and many expressed their appreciation for the relationship in the respective comments sections of the posts.
Clark is now preparing for her third WNBA season, looking to regain momentum after an injury-limited sophomore campaign in which she appeared in just 13 games. That follows a standout rookie year that included Rookie of the Year honors and a top four MVP finish.
