Caitlin Clark<\/a> and Connor McCaffery<\/a>‘s love is two years strong!\n<\/p>\n

The WNBA star, who turns 24 on Jan. 22, 2026, met McCaffery while the two played college basketball<\/a> for the University of Iowa. When McCaffery isn’t coaching basketball at Butler University in Indianapolis, he’s right down the street supporting his girlfriend from the sidelines at an Indiana Fever game.\n<\/p>\n

They began dating in April 2023 but didn’t make their relationship Instagram official until later that August.\n<\/p>\n
