Caitlin Clark celebrated her 23rd birthday on Wednesday and, sure enough, the Indiana Fever guard got an outpouring of sweet messages from family, friends and fans alike.
Former Iowa Hawkeyes teammate Kate Martin made sure to greet the Fever star on her special day, writing on social media, “Happy birthday, love you.” The same goes for Fever teammate Aliyah Boston, who called her “sistaaa” and wished her to have the “best day and year everrrrr.”
One message that stood out, however, was from Clark’s boyfriend Connor McCaffery. As he greeted her with a happy birthday, the ex-Hawkeyes hooper expressed how thankful he is to have the WNBA All-Star in his life.
“Happy 23rd CC (finally we’re celebrating together this year)!” McCaffery wrote. “You have an incredible ability to inspire and lift up those around you, and I am lucky to learn from you every day. Thank you for always being you. I love you.”
Of course, Caitlin Clark saw the message, and she quickly shared her appreciation for her partner.
“Awh, love you,” Clark said along with a pleading face, red heart, black heart and fire emojis.

Clark and McCaffery have been dating for almost two years now. They started their relationship in April 2023, though they didn’t make it Instagram official until August of the same year, per Business Insider.
Sure enough, McCaffery has been a massive supporter of Clark amid her WNBA career. While they are private about their relationship, McCaffery has often been seen cheering for his girlfriend online.
