The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are affectionately known as “America’s sweethearts,” but who has captured their own hearts?
After Netflix’s Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: America’s Sweethearts debuted in June 2024, viewers were hooked on the Texas cheer squad and their lives behind-the-scenes. Reece Weaver, who was a rookie on season 1, not only had fans rooting for her to make the team, but they were invested in her relationship with now-husband Will Allman.
“I haven’t been able to express my sincere and deep gratitude for all the love and support so many of you have shown my team, Will, and I,” Reece wrote via Instagram in June 2025, noting while she was “giddy” to learn she’d be filmed on season 1, she was also “scared.”
