Caitlin Clark and her boyfriend spotted at beach having fun and plenty of relaxation
Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever tweeted photos from her Mexico trip with boyfriend Connor McCaffery, following her impressive performance in the WNBA All-Star game against Team USA.
Clark emphasised the importance of relaxing during the couple’s sun-soaked holiday, which featured gorgeous beach views. Katie Lou Samuelson shared photos from her Mexico trip with Clark and Indiana Fever teammate Lexie Hull in an Instagram story that has now expired. One memorable photo showed Clark front and centre, flashing a peace sign while lying on a wide, brilliant yellow floating mat that gently bobbled on the blue-green water.
Taking a backseat in the photo, Samuelson added a playful text overlay that read: “Just a couple mermaids” – complete with a mermaid emoji, capturing the fun and carefree essence of Clark and Hull during their tropical retreat. Katie Lou then posted an image with her daughter Aliya at the pool, starkly contrasting her teammates soaking up in the sun. She wrote: “What my pool days look like now” – as she stood close to her daughter.
While none of the Fever players tagged the location of their tropical escape, Lexie Hull had previously hinted on TikTok that she and some teammates would be heading to Mexico during the WNBA All-Star weekend . The All-Star game, held on July 20, showcased Clark’s playmaking prowess as she contributed four points and dished out ten assists in 26 minutes, leading Team WNBA to a thrilling 117-109 victory over Team USA.
Clark and her partner, McCaffery, were captured in a stunning photo enjoying the sun on a boat. The duo, both holding peace signs, posed against a stunning backdrop of a beautiful sunset and relaxing waves.
Clark was insistent about taking her trip, even if it meant foregoing a chance at the 3-point championship over All-Star weekend. The league invited Clark and Sabrina Ionescu to the contest, but they declined.While Ionescu was preoccupied with preparations for the forthcoming Paris Olympics, preferring to focus on the Olympic camp over the All-Star festivities, Clark’s decision perplexed fans, especially considering she is not on the Olympic roster.
After playing the game nonstop and taking countless jump shots, Clark addressed her stance head-on, saying she needed time to recover. “I think it’s just rest. I’ve been playing basketball for a year straight,” she said.
“It’s not an easy thing to just show up and just shoot off of a rack. It’s something I’ve never done before. It’s not something I’ve had time to practice, and I’m focused on helping my team win games,” she continued. “Enjoying this break, there will be plenty of opportunities for me to do that at some point.”
