Haley Cavinder, a star guard for the Miami Hurricanes, and Jake Ferguson, the Dallas Cowboys‘ tight end, recently celebrated their one-year anniversary. The couple, who began dating in September 2023, shared heartwarming moments on social media, reflecting on their journey together. Cavinder’s post featured a collection of intimate snapshots, highlighting how strong their bond has grown over the past year.
Cavinder, 23, took to Instagram to mark the special occasion, posting a collage of photos with the caption, “a year w ferg.” One standout photo showed the couple stealing a kiss on the sidelines of AT&T Stadium in Arlington, capturing their shared love of football and each other.

Their relationship first caught the public’s attention when fans noticed Cavinder sporting Ferguson’s No. 87 Dallas Cowboys jersey on social media last year. What began as a casual connection on social media quickly blossomed into a strong relationship. In a candid Q&A with her twin sister Hanna, who is also dating an athlete, Cavinder shared how Ferguson reached out to her.
“He DM’d me,” Cavinder revealed, joking that Ferguson claims she messaged him first. The couple had their first date in Fort Lauderdale, and their chemistry was instant. They spent the next ten days together, solidifying the start of their relationship.
A football power couple
While their relationship is in the spotlight, both athletes are making waves in their respective sports. Ferguson, a 2022 fourth-round NFL Draft pick, is quickly becoming a key player for the Cowboys. He recently made his first Pro Bowl and is on the verge of reaching a significant career milestone: just one catch away from 100 receptions in only 36 games. If he achieves this in the Cowboys‘ upcoming matchup against the Giants, Ferguson will join Cowboys legend Jason Witten as the only tight ends in franchise history to reach this milestone so quickly.
Cavinder, meanwhile, has become a leading figure in college sports, not just for her skills on the basketball court but also as one of the top NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) earners alongside her sister, Hanna. With the Miami Hurricanes‘ season set to start in November, Haley might have time to support Ferguson at his games, including the upcoming showdown at MetLife Stadium.
The couple continues to make headlines both for their achievements on the field and for the personal moments they share with their growing fan base. Whether they’re breaking records or simply sharing a loving glance, Haley and Jake are proving to be one of sports’ most exciting young power couples.
