“Happy 23rd CC ❤️ (finally we’re celebrating together this year 🥹)!” McCaffery, 26, wrote on Instagram. “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 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼”

McCaffery, an assistant coach at Butler University, has long supported the league’s reigning Rookie of the Year in social media posts, and has been by her side at an array of events over the past year as she’s transitioned from college basketball star to professional athlete.

Last week, the two were in attendance for the second-ever Indy Ignite volleyball game, days before Clark took on the Kansas City Chiefs game, alongside Taylor Swift in a suite.

At one point, the superstar and the Swiftie were seen celebrating Travis Kelce’s pivotal touchdown.

The previous time the Chiefs played the Houston Texans, on Dec. 21, Clark turned up to support McCaffery, whose Bulldogs took on UConn.

And after McCaffery’s new job was announced in September 2024 — following a stint working for the Indiana Pacers — Clark couldn’t hold back her pride.

Clark excitedly shared the news on her Instagram Stories, writing, “Yayyy!!! So happy for you 🤍,” alongside the official post from Butler.
