Haley Cavinder and Jake Ferguson first met in 2023. Since then, they’ve shared small details of their relationship with the public. In April this year, the couple got engaged and shared pictures of their engagement on social media.
Continuing the trend, Cavinder recently shared a video on Instagram, showing a special gift she received from her fiancé.
In the clip, Cavinder said that she just got back from visiting Ferguson at his training camp and found a surprise waiting for her. The Hurricanes’ point guard told her fans that she had been asking Ferguson for a dog for a while, and she was hoping that’s what the surprise would be.
Haley Cavinder showed the flowers that the Cowboys TE sent her, along with a personal note. However, the dog that she received wasn’t exactly what she was hoping for. Ferguson sent her a stuffed English bulldog, one similar to what Cavinder already has in her family.
“This is closer than what we started with, this is a Frenchie,” Cavinder said. “I don’t know what to name him. It’s a little Frenchie because I was like, ‘Jake, I really want a dog.’ So, baby steps. And let’s name him…Cowboy would be cute.”

The ‘Cowboy’ name suggestion came from someone behind the camera. Regardless, it’s a sweet nod to her fiancé being a Cowboys player.
Cavinder has always been comfortable with sharing details of their relationship online. She believes that her fiancé’s openness gave her the confidence to share things with people on social media. During a Q&A session on The Cavinder Twins YouTube channel, she said:
“Honestly, I’m very confident and comfortable with sharing my relationship because Jake was very loud about it.” (22:35)
The couple has a massive following on social media, and their fans show genuine interest in knowing about their life. When Ferguson recently signed a massive $52 million deal with the Cowboys, Cavinder shared her excitement with the fans.
