Caitlin Clark’s ascension to the WNBA isn’t the only major milestone the basketball superstar celebrated this month.
Clark and her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, celebrated their one-year anniversary Wednesday with a pair of heartwarming social media posts.
“One year of the best mems w my fav person,” Clark wrote in an Instagram post that featured a black and white photo of the couple cozied up together. “You make everyday better and I can’t wait for many more adventures together… love you.”
McCaffery — a former member of Iowa’s men’s basketball team and the son of Hawkeyes head coach Fran McCaffery — also wrote a sweet message on his Instagram page along with a photo of Clark and McCaffery playfully interacting and a video of Clark while she was playing basketball.
“One year w the best doing life w u has been easy, and you never cease to amaze me,” McCaffrey wrote. “Can’t wait to watch u live out ur dreams in person. Love you.”
The women’s hoops star commented on the post with, “nice video.”
Clark and McCaffery went public with their relationship last August when the hooper shared a picture of the two on a boat together.
McCaffery was very public in his support for Clark during Iowa’s run to the national championship game.
Clark was then selected first overall in the WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever on April 15.
The women’s basketball phenom has raised the profile of women’s college basketball, and the WNBA is hoping her presence will enhance the pro game.
The Fever posted a video of Clark working out with the No. 1 pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft, Aliyah Boston, with the two expected to forge a dynamic duo for the Fever.
In the video, she’s seen making a bounce pass to Boston under the hoop, and then in another part of the clip, Clark is seen putting up a 3-pointer.
