The couple, who began dating in April 2023, have frequently toasted their relationship highlights and shared milestone memories on Instagram.
In January, McCaffery posted his own birthday tribute, toasting Clark’s big day with his own images of the couple.
“Happy 23rd CC ❤️ (finally we’re celebrating together this year 🥹)!” McCaffery 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 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼”
The two-time All-Star’s latest post came on the same day as she delivered another notable performance, making her first appearance this year against another No. 1 draft pick — Paige Bueckers.
Clark, who missed the team’s first matchup against Bueckers and the Dallas Wings last month due to a groin injury, scored 14 points and had 13 assists and five steals in Sunday’s game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse — which is also the site of this weekend’s WNBA All-Star Game.
