Molly Caudery has been one of the premier athletes in the world when it comes to pole vault for quite some time now. This was even more visible at the Madrid World Athletics in February 2025, when Molly elevated herself to a high of 4.85 to win the whole deal and leave the competition behind her. Just add to this her Gold at the 2024 World Indoor Championship and bronze at the European Championships and you have a serial winner in front of you. This begs the question: What inspires and supports Molly through all this?
A quick answer to that is maybe her parents. After all, to reach such heights, one needs support from their family. But we might have someone else who has also been supporting the Brit through her journey so far. And that someone might be her boyfriend, Joel Clarke-Khan, whom Molly has been dating. This naturally brings the fan’s attention to know more about the guy and how they started out. So, today let us dive into all that we can find out about the couple.
Who is Joel Clarke-Khan?
As it happens, Joel Clarke-Khan is also associated with track and field. The Brit has made quite a name for himself internationally as an exceptional high jumper. Born on September 30, 1999, in Worcester, England, the high jumper has established himself as one of the leading British athletes in the discipline. This includes winning the national championship three times, with his first being in 2020.
He has also performed consistently in the European and Commonwealth games. This includes a career-high fifth at the 2022 edition of the Commonwealth Games, where, with a 2.22 meter, he nearly made his way to the finals. Since then, he has made a personal best of 2.27 meters in 2022. He is currently coached by former Olympic silver medalist Robbie Grabraz and looks to make his mark in the upcoming tournaments.
What does Joel Clarke-Khan do for a living?
Joel Clarke-Khan has represented Great Britain in both international and national athletic competitions. While Joel has pursued his education at Loughborough University, he has since chosen to remain a professional athlete and is focusing on competing for both his club and international ventures. The high jumper was also part of the British team at the Paris Olympics but unfortunately failed to win at the event.
Irrespective of his success, he expressed happiness upon learning Molly qualified. “She qualified; that was a real mood riser for me,” Joel told the BBC before the event. “I think she’s a real favorite. There could be a potential gold medal there. That’s not something I’d ever miss.” While his own Olympic dreams had to wait, he kept his focus on the rest of the season. “There are still plenty of competitions after the Olympics; this season doesn’t have to be done and dusted for me,” he added.
Apart from competing with Molly, Joel demonstrates unwavering support as he publicly praises her endeavors through his social media posts. A touching video shows how Joel shared his partners’ side-by-side sprinting on the track as they trained together. His caption? “Couples therapy.”
How long have Molly Caudery and Joel Clarke-Khan been dating?
While we don’t know exactly when the two chose to be together, the two have been seen with each other since August 2022, when Joel congratulated Molly over her second-place finish at that year’s Commonwealth games. Since then, the couple has shared many instances of their dating life, including their 2023 vacation to Bali, Indonesia.
Joel shared multiple posts with his fans as he and Molly Caudery enjoyed the serene landscapes of Canggu. The couples also shared snippets of their vacation from the beautiful beaches of Positano, Italy. But now that the competition season is yet again beginning, the duo has decided to put their escapades to a halt and enjoy their training sessions once again. For now, this is all we know about the athletic couple, but we are sure to get more wholesome moments from them soon.
