Haley Cavinder gets engaged to Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson in surprise beach proposal shared on TikTok

College basketball standout Haley Cavinder is engaged to Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson. The couple announced their engagement on April 17 via social media, with Cavinder posting a photo of herself on a beach in front of a floral display, showing off her engagement ring on her Instagram Story.

A TikTok video on the Cavinder Twins’ page captured the moment, with Ferguson appearing first before Cavinder joins him and shows off her ring. A second post provided a behind-the-scenes look at the surprise proposal, including moments with her twin sister Hanna Cavinder. In the video captioned, “OOTN (my twin doesn’t know she’s getting engaged),” the sisters are seen getting ready for what Haley believed was a celebratory dinner in Fort Myers Beach, Florida.

Cavinder and Ferguson made their relationship public in 2023. Since then, Cavinder has regularly supported Ferguson during his NFL season. In January, the pair shared a light-hearted TikTok wearing matching pink sweatsuits and gray tank tops during a breakfast outing. They also attended the 59th Academy of Country Music Awards together in May 2024.

The couple celebrated their one-year anniversary last September with a post on Cavinder’s Instagram captioned, “A year w ferg.” Cavinder recently completed her college basketball career, averaging 18.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game in her final season.

Ferguson, who earned Pro Bowl honors, finished the latest NFL season with 59 receptions for 494 yards. Despite his individual performance, the Cowboys concluded their campaign with a 7-10 record and did not qualify for the playoffs.
