Caitlin Clark opens out to the world and showcases the man who controls her heart.
Caitlin Clark just achieved a personal milestone with her partner, Connor McCaffery.
On Wednesday, the pair celebrated their one anniversary by sharing a candid photo of themselves cuddling up on a couch on Instagram. Clark, 22, conveyed her feelings with a simple but meaningful caption: “One year of the best memories with my favorite person,” she said. “You make every [sic] day better, and I can’t wait for many more adventures together… I love you.”
McCaffery, a former University of Iowa player, responded with a heartfelt message about their shared path. “One year with the best, living life with you has been easy, and you never stop to amaze me,” he wrote. “Can’t wait to see you live your aspirations in person, love you.”
The flow of affection did not end there. McCaffery’s slow-motion film of Clark’s facial emotions drew a snarky but fun response from the basketball player, who wrote “Nice video” under the post.
Caitlin Clark has had a busy month!
Clark has had a busy month leading up to their anniversary. On April 15th, she was selected as the first overall choice by the Indiana Fever in the 2024 WNBA draft, a significant milestone in her career.
Despite public questioning of her initial WNBA contract, which was for $338,000 over four years, Clark cemented her earning potential with an astounding eight-year agreement with Nike worth nearly $28 million.
Throughout Clark’s rapid climb, McCaffery has remained by her side. McCaffery has been a constant source of encouragement, from draft night celebrations to collegiate failures, including as Iowa’s painful Final Four loss earlier this month.
Following the dramatic conclusion to Clark’s NCAA career, McCaffery rushed to social media to share a heartfelt moment captured on camera, writing the image simply: “My GOAT.”
As Clark prepares to begin her professional basketball career with the Indiana Fever, backed by a lucrative endorsement agreement, her relationship with McCaffery serves as a reminder of the power of love in the face of athletic hurdles. As they mark their first year together, their tale continues to inspire both on and off the court.
