In the post, Clark was wearing a blue dress and looking at McCaffery, who was in a suit. McCaffery, 27, took to his own Instagram account to celebrate the milestone.
“3 years with the most beautiful best friend,” McCaffery wrote with a red heart and infinity emoji.
McCaffery’s post showed the pair together in a golf cart.
Clark and McCaffery began dating in April 2023 when the couple met at the University of Iowa. Both played college basketball as Clark rewrote the history books during his legendary career, while McCaffery played six seasons.

McCaffery’s six seasons of playing basketball all came with his father as the team’s head coach.
While Clark has risen to superstardom with the Indiana Fever in the WNBA, McCaffery is following in her father’s footsteps. After his playing days at Iowa, McCaffery spent one season with the Indiana Pacers as a team assistant in an entry-level position before joining Butler as an assistant coach.
Entering his third season with the Fever, Clark is looking to get back on track after an injury-plagued sophomore season. As a rookie, she burst onto the scene, winning Rookie of the Year and finishing fourth in MVP voting.
