Caitlin Clark’s sweet message to boyfriend Connor McCaffery for 3-year anniversary: ‘You’re the bestttt’

It’s an exciting time of the year for Catilin Clark.

Just as the WNBA season is kicking off, the Fever star is celebrating three years with her boyfriend Connor McCaffery.

The 2024 Rookie of the Year shared a photo of the couple on Instagram all cleaned up presumably for the big day.

“Three years with my fav 🤍🤍 you’re the bestttt :),” Clark captioned the post.

The couple met during their time as basketball players at Iowa University.

While Clark became a national star and put the women’s program on the map, McCaffrey played six seasons on the men’s side under his father, Fran.

He averaged 4.5 points per game across 166 career games for the Hawkeyes.

McCaffery, who previously served as an assistant coach for the Butler men’s basketball program and worked for the Pacers as a basketball development coordinator during the 2023-24 season, is currently onto a new chapter.

“End of an era! Forever grateful to Coach Matta for the opportunity that he gave me. Learned a lot and worked with great people 🙏🏼 excited for what’s next !” he wrote in an Instagram post earlier this month.

Meanwhile, Clark is gearing up for her third WNBA season after a disappointing year cut short due to a groin injury. She was limited to only 13 games and missed the Fever’s playoff run to a decisive Game 5 semifinal against the Aces, who wound up winning the Finals in 2025.

She called the experience “very isolating,” yet the down year taught Clark how to be “the best teammate you can be,” she said during training camp.

The Fever have been strengthening their roster around Clark in preparation for what she hopes to be a bounceback year.

Aliyah Boston signed a historic four-year, $6.3 million deal to stay in Indiana, which will eventually make her the richest player in league history.

The Fever also extended Sophie Cunningham with a one-year deal and previously signed Monique Billings and Tyasha Harris in free agency. Additionally, Kelsey Mitchell came back on a one-year, $1.4 million supermax contract.
