Haley Cavinder and Jake Ferguson fuel relationship rumors during Cowboys’ bye week

Rumored couple Jake Ferguson and Haley Cavinder are hanging out together with the Cowboys on a bye week.

Thursday night, the Dallas tight end shared a photo with Cavinder on his Instagram story at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth.

The rumors that the two are dating began last month when Cavinder shared a collage in which she was wearing a Cowboys shirt, with the caption “How bout them cowboys.”

Ferguson, 24, who was selected in the fourth round of last year’s draft, responded, “Gollleeeee how bout ‘em,” and added a heart-eyes emoji.

The grandson of legendary former Wisconsin football coach and athletics director Barry Alvarez, Ferguson starred on the Badgers before making the leap to the NFL.

This season, he has 21 catches for 190 yards and a touchdown for the Cowboys.

Haley and her twin sister Hanna Cavinder first came to prominence as social media dynamos when they starred on Fresno State’s women’s basketball team, transferring to the University of Miami before last season and playing a role in the team’s Elite Eight run.

While the sisters had previously said that they were done playing college hoops, Haley made the announcement last week that she plans to return for the 2024-25 season.

“As a businesswoman, she’s excited to see what type of opportunities there might be in the portal,” Haley’s agent, Jeff Hoffman, told On3.com.

“It comes from a foundation of she misses basketball more than anything in the world and as it approaches another season, even more so. She is going to hop in the portal. She’s 100% making her return to college basketball.”
