Grand celebration: Finally, Caitlin Clark and Connor McCaffery have set a date for their wedding.

Meet Caitlin Clark’s biggest supporter.

The University of Iowa athlete is dating Connor McCaffery, a fellow basketball player and former Hawkeye. The couple began dating in April 2023 but didn’t go public until four months later when Clark shared a photo with Connor on Instagram, captioning it, “Best end to summer,” alongside images of them cozying up on a boat.

In January 2024, Connor posted a heartfelt birthday 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. “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.”

Connor’s prediction came true. A month later, Clark became the all-time leading scorer in NCAA women’s basketball history, surpassing Kelsey Plum’s 3,527 points. Connor, along with sports icons like Tom Brady, Billie Jean King, and Brittney Griner, celebrated her achievement on social media.
