Caitlin Clark, an American basketball star, is dating Connor McCaffery, who is a fellow basketball player as well as a former Hawkeye himself.
In April 2023, the couple started their relationship but they didn't make it public until four months later when Clark revealed her involvement with Connor via a picture on her social media. "Best end to summer," she captioned a series of images, which showed the couple cuddling each other on a boat.
Moreover, Connor also wrote a tribute to Clark on her 22nd birthday. “Happy Birthday 22. Wish I was there to celebrate with you – you deserve the best day. Golden Bday/T Swift year will be the best yet,” he wrote in a post in January 2024.
“With all that you’ve already accomplished, there is so much more in store for you and your special self. I admire you in every way and I love you,” he added.
Connor's prediction about Clark that there would be "so much more in store" for her was right as after a month, the basketball star was the all-time leading scorer in NCAA women's basketball history when she beat Kelsey Plum’s 3,527 points, according to People.
After graduating from the University of Iowa in May 2023, Connor landed a job in professional sports. For the NBA’s Indiana Pacers, he also worked as a team assistant.
Connor was a dual athlete during his time at Iowa. Additionally, he worked toward his two bachelor's degrees in finance and political science, when he wasn’t training or competing with his team.
