Since the start of the WNBA season, Caitlin Clark’s name has been on everyone’s lips. There’s been much buzz surrounding the rookie’s achievements with the Indiana Fever and the records she’s shattered in her debut season. Yet, while so much is said about her, it seems like no one is actually talking to her.

Caitlin Clark reveals surprising number of texts she gets

TikTok trends can be a source of anguish for athletes. Even the simplest response can be dissected by fans, who often weave narratives that seem to perfectly fit every move of their idols. When Clark responded to recent events, coupled with the drama at her boyfriend Connor McCaffery’s birthday, it all seemed to click into place… at least for Caitlin’s followers.

If we take a moment to dissect the situation, fans might have a point, but the truth is far from certain and everything seems blown out of proportion. Caitlin herself hasn’t indicated any bumps in her relationship road just yet.

Reading between the lines

When Caitlin mentioned receiving no texts, fans took it as gospel truth, perhaps missing it was her way of sidestepping the question, though her expression seemed quite genuine. While her teammates revealed drowning in unread messages, Caitlin alone claimed radio silence. Fans then speculated-maybe her boyfriend doesn’t even send her a morning text or ask about her training. It didn’t help matters when Caitlin posted a heartfelt birthday message for him on Instagram, only for him to celebrate in Vegas surrounded by bikini-clad revelers.

Fans’ theories tend to spiral out of control, yet sometimes they hit closer to home than expected. Now, all that’s left is to see if there’s truly trouble in paradise for the seemingly happy couple. Connor has been spotted shooting hoops with his girlfriend after games, proudly supporting her impressive achievements in her budding professional career, so truly there seems to be no problem.

Only time will tell if the theory is correct.
