Caitlin Clark’s boyfriend gives behind the scenes look at how WNBA star is spending her Olympics break
Caitlin Clark is making the most of the WNBA‘s Olympic break by relaxing in the sun with boyfriend Connor McCaffery and friends.
McCaffery, who started dating fellow Iowa star Clark before she became a household name across the country, shared a series of snaps of their sunny vacation as his girlfriend unwinds after the WNBA All-Star Game.
One picture shows a bikini-clad Clark throwing up a peace sign while chilling out on a boat next to former MLB pitcher Will Matthiessen.
Matthiessen is currently dating the Fever rookie’s teammate Lexie Hull, who was also seen on the boat trip in a location which is currently unclear.
Clark and Hull were all smiles as they soaked up the sun on a large yellow raft in the water, with the pair able to let their hair down over three weeks before Indiana‘s return to WNBA action.

The group may well be in Mexico given Hull said in a recent TikTok video that her and some teammates were due to head to the country after their game against the Dallas Wings on July 17.
Clark is enjoying some much-needed downtime after a hectic start to her WNBA career, which included last weekend’s All-Star Game.
The 22-year-old set the rookie record for assists (10) to help Team WNBA get the better of USA Basketball, while also linking up with rival-turned-teammate Angel Reese on the court.
After the game, Clark admitted she was looking forward to a well-earned break.
‘I honestly can’t wait to not touch a basketball for a while,’ she said. ‘I’ve shot too many times in the past year.’
Clark added: ‘I think it’s hard as a professional athlete at times like people do always realize I feel like an individual just like all of you.

‘I’m just the same human. I go about my same daily life, I do all the things that you do, I just play basketball on top of that.’
Clark currently leads the WNBA in assists per game (8.2) and is averaging the most points per game for a rookie with 17.1.
She has also set a host of records in the big leagues already, recently putting up the most assists in a single game by a rookie with an astonishing 19 against Dallas.
