Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark posted an emotional tribute to her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery.

On the court, Caitlin Clark is one of the most dominant basketball players to ever grace the WNBA with her presence.

However, off the court, Clark is someone who is deeply in love with her longtime boyfriend, Connor McCaffery. After all, the couple has been together since Clark’s NCAA days.

Caitlin Clark’s heartfelt message to Connor McCaffery on his birthday

McCaffery recently turned 28, and Clark seemingly took a day off from the WNBA to celebrate her longtime boyfriend’s birthday.

Clark also posted an emotional message for McCaffery along with a photo dump on Instagram.

“Happyyyyy Birthdayyyy Con,” Clark wrote on Instagram. “I love celebrating you always and can’t wait to see what this year brings you, ilyyy.”

Similar to Clark, McCaffery enjoyed his career as a basketball player for the Iowa Hawkeyes in the NCAA. However, he never made it to the NBA.

In fact, McCaffery transitioned into a basketball coach, as he currently fulfills the role of a player development assistant for the NBA G League side, Noblesville Boom.

Despite not being a professional basketball player, Clark has always shown support for him, and vice versa is true as well. McCaffery is often seen on the sidelines during important WNBA games for Clark.
