When you think of WNBA stars gearing up for Paris and the pursuit of Team USA’s eighth consecutive gold, what comes to mind? Intense training, team spirit, and… public transportation with luxury accessories? For Caitlin Clark, the Indiana Fever’s rookie sensation, the latter seems to be the case.
Caught in a candid moment that could be mistaken for a scene from a rom-com, Clark and her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, were seen embracing the joys of public transport. The pair, blending seamlessly with everyday commuters, could easily be your friendly neighborhood couple—if not for the telltale sign of their Gucci handbags, which screamed “athlete salary” louder than a courtside cheer.
LeLakers, the ever-vigilant celebrity watchdog, couldn’t resist sharing the snapshots, labeling the duo as “Caitlin Clark & her boyfriend.” It’s a title that might undersell Clark’s WNBA prowess but perfectly captures the casual vibe of the day.
Clark, ever the enigma, opted for a hoodie—perhaps to keep her identity under wraps, or maybe just to fend off the July sun. Meanwhile, McCaffery, looking every bit the supportive partner, carried his designer bag with the nonchalance of someone used to life’s finer things.
It’s a refreshing twist on the usual glitz and glam of professional sports, where designer labels meet down-to-earth moments. Who knew public transport could be so stylish?
