Haley Cavinder of the Miami Hurricanes is ready to support her boyfriend, Dallas Cowboys star tight end Jake Ferguson. The former TCU commit shared game-day snaps and clips with her mom and her "WAGs friends." She attended the Cowboys' preseason finale and showed off her custom Ferguson shirt.
Since then, Haley has posted images of Jake Ferguson's jersey-themed merchandise on her Instagram story with the caption:
"Counting how the games til my TE season"
"the h + j I'm obsessed omg"
After months of speculation, Haley Cavinder and Jake Ferguson made their relationship public in October 2023. The couple frequently shares pictures from their trips and romantic dates with their fans.
Though the two share their happiest moments, Cavinder once opened up about her mental health and the breakdowns she suffered after going public with her relationship. She said:
"I was in Forever 21 having a great day with my mom and Hanna, and I got this post. And I just started looking at the comments about my face," Cavinder said in a Q&A on YouTube in January.
"I’m a confident girl, but when people are saying stuff about you — if you have a boyfriend and someone is talking about you online with your boyfriend … like coming at your features. I’m like, ‘This is new.'
And, obviously, Jake is a great guy, but you don’t want to be called ugly on the internet 24/7 and your boyfriend sees it. That’s not going to make anyone feel cool. So, I had a mental breakdown," she added.

Haley Cavinder and her sister Hanna announced in April that they will be reuniting to play basketball at the University of Miami for their final season. Haley decommitted from the TCU Horned Frogs to join her sister Hanna who has returned to the Hurricanes after a one-year hiatus. The twins' extra year of eligibility is due to the NCAA COVID-19 rules.
Hanna and Haley have had successful college careers. Haley Cavinder was the 2021 Mountain West Player of the Year and made the All-Mountain West Team in 2020, 2021 and 2022. Hanna was selected to the All-Mountain West Team in 2020 and 2021.
In the 2022-2023 season, Haley led the Hurricane with 12.2 points per game and helped the team reach the Elite Eight of the NCAA women's tournament for the first time in program history. While Haley had strong performances that season, Hanna's numbers were not as impressive. She only averaged 3.8 points in 16.7 minutes a game.
