BREAKING NEWS: Caitlin Clark Addresses Marriage Rumors with Connor McCaffery

Indianapolis, IN – Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has set the record straight regarding swirling rumors about her recent absence from team games, which some speculated was due to a secret wedding with her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery. The WNBA Rookie of the Year and former Iowa Hawkeyes sensation took to social media and a press conference to clarify the situation, putting an end to the speculation while delighting fans with her candid and heartfelt response.

The rumors began circulating after Clark missed a few Indiana Fever games during the 2025 WNBA season, prompting fans and media outlets to speculate about the reasons behind her brief absence. Social media platforms, particularly X, buzzed with theories, with some fans suggesting that Clark and McCaffery, her longtime boyfriend and assistant coach at Butler University, had tied the knot in a private ceremony. The speculation was fueled by the couple’s high-profile relationship and their frequent public appearances together, which have captured the hearts of basketball fans worldwide.

In a press conference held on June 1, 2025, Clark addressed the rumors with her characteristic poise and humor. “I’ve seen all the chatter online about me getting married, and I have to say, I’m flattered by the excitement!” Clark said, laughing. “But no, I haven’t gotten married. Connor and I are just enjoying our time together, supporting each other’s careers, and building our future step by step. The absence was just a short break to recharge after a busy season—nothing more dramatic than that!”

Clark went on to express gratitude for the overwhelming support from fans, noting that their enthusiasm for her personal life means a lot to her. “It’s amazing to see how much you all care,” she said. “Connor and I are in a great place, and we’re excited about what’s ahead, but we’re taking things one day at a time. Marriage is a big step, and when we’re ready, we’ll let you know—but for now, I’m focused on basketball and enjoying this offseason.”

The 23-year-old basketball phenom also shared a glimpse into her plans for the future, both on and off the court. “I’m working on my game, getting ready for the next season, and just soaking up some time with Connor, my family, and my teammates,” she said. “We’ve got some exciting things coming up, and I can’t wait to share more when the time is right.” Her comments sparked a wave of excitement among fans, who flooded social media with messages of support and congratulations, even though no wedding has taken place.

Clark and McCaffery, who began dating in April 2023 while at the University of Iowa, have become one of basketball’s most beloved couples. Their relationship has been marked by mutual support, with Clark attending Butler games to cheer for McCaffery and McCaffery celebrating Clark’s historic rookie season, including her record-breaking assists and three-pointers. The couple’s chemistry, both on and off the court, has endeared them to fans, who were quick to send their best wishes after Clark’s statement.

“Caitlin and Connor are just the cutest!” one fan posted on X. “No wedding yet, but I’m already excited for whenever that day comes!” Another wrote, “Love how Caitlin handles these rumors with such grace. She’s a superstar in every way!”

As Clark prepares for her sophomore season with the Indiana Fever, which kicks off later this month, fans are eager to see her continue to dominate the WNBA. For now, the marriage rumors have been put to rest, but the love and support for Clark and McCaffery continue to grow.
