Tyrese Haliburton Reveals He and Caitlin Clark Have a ‘24/7’ Group Chat with Their Significant Others

Indiana’s two biggest basketball stars also happen to be BFFs.

Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers revealed in an interview with ESPN that he and Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark, as well as their significant others, are in near constant communication — even as Haliburton, 25, focuses on winning his first NBA championship.

“We’re talking 24/7,” Haliburton shared with ESPN. “The four of us hang out all the time,” he added.

The Pacers took a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals during Game 3 on Wednesday, June 11 with Clark in the crowd cheering him on. Haliburton was again a force during the game with 22 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds.

Still, Haliburton said it’s Clark who has the weight of the world on her. “She goes through a lot, as you know. There’s a lot of weight and eyes on her. Obviously there is on me as well, but hers are amplified times a million,” he told ESPN.

Haliburton also revealed to the outlet that he and Clark go on double dates with their significant others.

Clark has been dating her boyfriend Connor McCaffery since April 2023, and Haliburton has been with Jade Jones since April 2019 when they were both students at Iowa State University.

Clark is so supportive of her fellow Indiana basketball star that she even films herself reacting to his game-winning plays, she told reporters in Atlanta, according to ESPN. “I videotaped myself, like, the final play and I have my reaction in real time. It’s a pretty iconic video. Maybe one day everybody will see it, but no, not right now,” she said, noting that she says too many curse words to share it with the public.

The video made it to their exclusive group chat, however. Haliburton confirmed to ESPN that he’s seen the video of Clark’s reaction and said the Fever star was “going crazy” during the play.

Haliburton and Clark have both become major stars in Indiana for leading their teams to relevancy following years of playoff droughts for both the Fever and the Pacers. Clark told ESPN that both she and Haliburton love playing in Indiana and hope to remain with their respective teams for the remainder of their careers.

“Ty and I would both tell you this is where we both hope to stay the rest of our careers,” Clark said, noting that being in a “small market” is “what makes it fun” for them.

“These people, this is what means the world to them. We haven’t hosted a Finals game in 25 years, and I’ve never seen this type of excitement. People are lining up three hours before the game. I literally just got the chills thinking about it,” she added.
