Jake Ferguson didn’t just win over Dallas with his breakout Pro Bowl season in 2023— he earned something even rarer in Dallas: The Jones family stamp of approval. Jerry Jones sang his praises all year, calling the tight end “dangerous,” backing him through injuries. So when good news is broken, you’d obviously see the Jones family celebrating along. And while Jake has just that with the Cowboys Nation, there’s a Jones in the celebrations too.
On April 18, Jake dropped a beachside engagement announcement with Haley Cavinder on Instagram with Haley adding the caption, “ the easiest love.” Fans did flood the comments. But Charlotte Jones, Jerry Jones’ daughter, jumped in as well, blessing the couple with a “Beautiful couple!!! Congratulations,” comment. So, are we stretching with the family part? Not really. Because the exec VP of the Cowboys’ empire is not hitting every other roster player with the exclamation marks.
As for the momentous occasion, it has been cooking for quite some time now, 1 years and 7 months to be precise. Haley, the college hoops star-turned WWE hustler- and full-time social media sensation, said “Yes” to Ferguson in a surprise proposal on Fort Myers Beach, which was apparently supposed to be a simple dinner according to twin sister Hanna’s TikTok post where she wrote, “OOTN (my twin doesn’t know she’s getting engaged).”
The setup was complete with a white floral backdrop complementing the sand and a TikTok-worthy reveal of a big stone on Haley’s finger. The two shared photos and videos of the moment. Interestingly, there was another glimmering ring in form of an ice sculpture, albeit not a permanent one, that could have given Haley a hint. But seeing her reaction to the proposal, she clearly did not catch the clues.
They also posted a TikTok video where Ferguson lip-syncs to Future’s song “Low Life.” Ferguson sang, “Sniper, sniper, sniper, sniper, sniper.” With the next lines, “Wifey, wifey, wifey, wifey, wifey,” Cavinder appears, showing off the big rock.
Of course, even Micah Parsons and Travis Kelce tossed in likes on the post along with Haley’s twin Hanna, sister, and friends joining in the comments section.
Ferguson and Cavinder went public in 2023 and haven’t slowed since — posting matching sweatsuit TikToks, walking the red carpet at the ACMs, and then the college hooper dropping “A year w Ferg” caption to celebrate their anniversary in September ’24. For a guy who once told Jerry he felt “dangerous” before a game, Ferguson’s been equally committed off the field. As for the Jones family respect part, Jerry has not just been on Ferg’s side through the thick and thin but even sounded like a concerned dad after Ferguson’s week 1 MCL sprain in 2024.
“We really did dodge a bullet.” Jones said back in September ahead of the Saints game. “It would’ve been a blow.” Unfortunately, Jake missed the game and Dallas lost 44-19. Ultimately, when he only posted 59 receptions over 494 yards in the season, the Cowboys missed the playoffs. Coincidence? Didn’t seem like it. And that’s why Jake didn’t miss out on the Jones family’s respect.
Now with the ring on her finger and the Jones family behind them, Jake and Haley are officially America’s Couple — or at least Dallas’.
The Cowboys Nation sends blessings to Jake Feguson and Haley
If you thought Jake Ferguson only had hands for snatching first downs, think again — apparently, he’s got the ring game too. After the Cowboys’ tight end popped the question to Haley Cavinder on a beach decked out with flowers and NFL-level precision, Cowboys Nation came through like his perfect wingmen. One fan didn’t hold back, commenting, “FERG JUS EARNED A ROUND 2 FANTASY PICK.” And honestly? Not wrong. The man already went Pro Bowl, and now he’s Pro-posing like an All-Pro.
Another fan summed it up with “I’m crying scrolling through these wow I love y’all,” which, let’s be real, might be the digital version of throwing rose petals on the field. You can’t fake that kind of love — not in the comments section, and definitely not in Dallas. I mean, at least, not for the couple who believes in a bit of fun and games as well.
Let’s not forget the April Fools’ Day heist these two pulled off. Haley — with her twin sister Hanna on assist — completely finessed Jake into thinking someone else sent her flowers. Jake, stuck in Texas, was confused, stressed, and borderline losing it. “Those aren’t from me, Haley!” he said, visibly rattled. And when the punchline hit? He let out a “What the f**k!” before cracking up. Even NFL defenders can’t bait Jake like that. But Haley? She ran that route perfectly.
Meanwhile, the support kept rolling in. One fan simply shouted, “LET’S GOOO FERG,” like it was Sunday night and Jake Ferguson had just trucked a linebacker. And the most common theme, as it always is on such occasions: “Congrats.” Congratulations, indeed, to the both of them. This news has been a good offseason distraction, and the first one, for the Cowboys when JJ’s just keeping the fans on the edge with his ‘business as usual’ talking.
