Connor McCaffery makes a sudden move, leaving fans curious.

Connor McCaffery made a surprising career move this week. Caitlin Clark’s boyfriend said he is leaving his role with the Butler Bulldogs. He shared the news on Thursday night and thanked the people who supported him.

McCaffery worked under head coach Thad Matta for the past two seasons. He called the experience valuable and said it helped him grow. “End of an era! Forever grateful to Coach Matta for the opportunity that he gave me,” McCaffery wrote. “Learned a lot and worked with great people – excited for what’s next.”

His announcement came as a surprise to fans who followed his constant rise in coaching. He did not share details about his next move. Still, his message made it clear that he plans to take the next step in his career.

McCaffery built his path through basketball step by step. He played college basketball at Iowa Hawkeyes from 2017 to 2023. His father, Fran McCaffery, coached the team during that time. McCaffery often spoke about learning under him, but also wanting to grow on his own.

After college, he joined the Indiana Pacers as an assistant. He worked under head coach Rick Carlisle and valued that experience. “I’m really excited. I want to get away and try to learn from someone else, somewhere else,” McCaffery said at the time. “I’ve always been under my dad’s shadow and tutelage. Now, learning from someone like coach (Rick) Carlisle … and the assistants they have there, they’re all good basketball minds … I’m just going to try to take everything in.”

He later moved to Butler, where he continued to learn and build his coaching resume. Now, he looks ready for another change.

Off the court, McCaffery’s relationship with Clark is what everyone loves to discuss. The couple confirmed their relationship in August 2023. They have shared moments from their lives since then. In January, McCaffery posted a birthday message for Clark and wrote, “Celebrating you is a privilege… I love you.”

Clark will soon begin a new WNBA season with the Indiana Fever. McCaffery’s next step remains unknown, so let’s see what happens next.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’

She told how her health scare has changed her outlook and said she has been seeking comfort from Davina.
