In the midst of a frenetic year after being snatched up as the WNBA’s number one overall draft pick, Caitlin Clark has decided it’s time for some serious R&R. And what better way to do it than by grabbing her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, and a few Fever teammates for a splashy getaway in Mexico?
Clark, 22, along with teammates Lexie Hull and Katie Lou Samuelson, have been lighting up Instagram with a series of sun-soaked, bikini-clad photos that scream “ultimate vacay vibes.” Hull, 24, confirmed the sunny locale in a TikTok video that’s making us all green with envy. In one of Clark’s aquatic posts, she nonchalantly captioned it, “Just a couple mermaids.” Yeah, just a couple of mermaids… living the dream while the rest of us are in cubicles.

Of course, they weren’t alone in their tropical escapade. Joining them was McCaffery, 26, who moonlights as a team assistant for the Indiana Pacers. Also tagging along was Will Matthiessen, a Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher and Hull’s beau. The gang’s all here, folks.
Clark and McCaffery have been making waves on social media, from their dual peace signs on a boat to celebrating their one-year anniversary back in April. Clark gushed on Instagram, “One year of the best mems w my fav person 🖤 you make everyday better and I can’t wait for many more adventures together… love you 🤞🏻😇.” Cue the collective “aww” from their fans.

Meanwhile, the Indiana Fever are currently on a month-long hiatus thanks to the Summer Olympics in Paris. Yep, while some WNBA players are gunning for that gold, Clark and crew are perfecting their tan lines. Hull spilled the beans on TikTok, explaining, “Some of my teammates and I are going to Mexico,” right after the league’s All-Star Game on July 20. Priorities, right?
Months earlier, on April 24, Clark and McCaffery marked their one-year anniversary with a sentimental Instagram post. McCaffery, who seems to have mastered the art of the heartfelt tribute, posted, “Happy Birthday 22. Wish I was there to celebrate with you — you deserve the best day. Golden Bday/T Swift year will be the best yet.” Talk about setting the bar high for birthday messages!
Clark, who finally made their relationship Instagram official four months after they started dating, ended her summer with a cuddly boat photo captioned, “Best end to summer.” Fast forward to January 2024, and McCaffery was back at it with the birthday love, showering Clark with admiration and praise. “With all that you’ve already accomplished, there is so much more in store for you and your special self. I admire you in every way and I love you.”
So, while the Fever take a break, Clark and her posse are making the most of their summer, proving that even top athletes need to let their hair down and play mermaid once in a while.
