Not only did the couple play for the University of Iowa, but their love for each other expanded and has now reached an incredible milestone.
Caitlin Clark has been dating Connor McCaffery since at least April 2023 because the Indiana Fever rookie took to her Instagram page and posted an intimate picture of the two to celebrate their first anniversary.
Clark’s post on Instagram included a heartfelt message for McCaffery.
“One year of the best mems w my fav person,” Clark wrote. “You make everyday better and I can’t wait for many more adventures together… love you.”
McCaffery jumped in the comments and replied, “Love you.”
McCaffery also made his own post on his page that read, “One year w the best,” McCaffery said. “Doing life w u has been easy, and you never cease to amaze me.. can’t wait to watch u live out ur dreams in person. Love you.”
The photo Clark posted was of them on WNBA Draft night.
The incoming rookie phenom and fellow Iowa alum Connor McCaffery made their relationship Instagram-official in August 2023. Since then, McCaffery has been one of Clark’s most prominent cheerleaders, as he has often been seen attending her games.McCaffery was a two-sport athlete who was recruited to play baseball and basketball at the University of Iowa. The COVID-19 outbreak threw a wrench in the plans of the Iowa native, who was scheduled to enter the MLB draft in 2020, according to the Des Moines Register.
Ultimately, McCaffery decided to hang up his cleats and concentrate on basketball due to injuries and the pandemic’s effects. He averaged 4.5 points, three rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 0.9 turnovers per game while playing collegiate ball. His assist-to-turnover ratio would set an all-time record when he left the program, via Sportsreference.com.
