Connor McCaffery is one proud boyfriend!

After weeks of anticipation, basketball star Caitlin Clark finally made her WNBA debut on May 14, and her McCaffery made sure to celebrate the big moment on social media.

Taking to his Instagram stories, McCaffery, 25, shared a video of Clark, 22, who was all smiles as she walked into the arena to play her first WNBA regular season game.

Clark went on to have a game filled with pros and cons — while she scored a team-high 20 points, she also gave up 10 turnovers, the most-ever in a WNBA debut.

McCaffery had a tough night as well at work. The fellow former Iowa basketball player is now a team assistant for the NBA’s Indiana Pacers, who were crushed by the New York Knicks in Game 5 of their second-round series last night.

McCaffery and Clark started dating in April 2023, but the couple didn’t make their relationship public until four months later when Clark posted a photo with him on Instagram. “Best end to summer,” she captioned a carousel of images, which featured the couple cuddled up together on a boat.

In January 2024, Connor posted 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. “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.”
