WNBA star Caitlin Clark is making waves both on and off the basketball court. While the Indiana Fever guard continues to dominate headlines for her game-changing performances, her personal life is also capturing attention—this time, thanks to a heartfelt tribute she posted for her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery.
Taking to Instagram on July 13, Caitlin offered fans a rare and intimate look at her relationship with McCaffery in celebration of his birthday.
“Happy happy happy birthday Con,” she wrote. “You make everyday better and I couldn’t be more grateful. May this be the best year yet, I love you.”
The 23-year-old rising sports icon coupled her message with a carousel of candid photos that captured the couple’s sweetest moments together—blending love, laughter, and everyday life.
