Cavinder, 24, is a college basketball player and social media personality. She was born in South Bend, Indiana, raised in Arizona, and attended Gilbert High School alongside her twin sister, Hanna. Ferguson’s wife was a standout athlete — named 2021 Mountain West Player of the Year and earned All-Mountain West Team honors thrice before transferring to the University of Miami.

The Cowboys selected Ferguson as 129th pick in the 2022 NFL draft. In his rookie season, he recorded 19 receptions for 174 yards and two TDs across 16 games. His role expanded significantly in 2023, totaling 71 receptions, 761 receiving yards and five TDs. In Dallas’ wild-card round loss to the Packers, the star TE posted a career performance with ten receptions for 93 yards and three TDs.

The public appearance at UFC 314 draws attention during the offseason as Jake Ferguson prepares for his upcoming season and Cavinder continues her final collegiate pursuits at Miami.
