Caitlin Clark, a rising star in women’s basketball, has quickly become a fan favorite as she transitions into her professional career with the Indiana Fever. Her prowess on the court has attracted a large following, and naturally, this includes some admirers who express their fondness on social media.

However, they might be surprised to learn that Clark’s boyfriend Connor McCaffery is also watching the interactions closely.

Caitlin Clark’s thoughtful analysis of her WNBA debut in the Indiana-Dallas game

In a recent incident highlighted by social media dynamics, a fan commented on Clark’s Instagram post, which showcased photos from her debut game against the Dallas Wings.

“We’re married she just doesn’t know it,” the user wrote.

The fan’s comment didn’t go unnoticed, as McCaffery responded to her admirer with a light-hearted yet pointed reply.

“Might have to box bro,” he replied.

The couple started dating in April 2023 but chose to keep their relationship out of the public eye until revealing it four months later. Their connection is rooted in a shared passion for basketball, providing them with a unique bond and understanding of the athletic lifestyle.

Like Clark, McCaffery has a strong basketball background, having played for the Iowa Hawkeyes, where his father, Fran McCaffery, serves as head coach.

Since graduating from the University of Iowa in May 2023, Connor McCaffery has transitioned into a professional role within the basketball world as a team assistant for the Indiana Pacers.

This position not only keeps him close to the sport but also geographically near Clark as she embarks on her professional journey in Indiana.
