A significant chapter has begun for one half of the celebrated Cavinder twins. Haley Cavinder, a former standout player for the Miami Hurricanes women’s basketball team, is engaged to NFL tight end Jake Ferguson.
The announcement came via Haley’s Instagram story, featuring an image showcasing her engagement ring against a picturesque beach backdrop. While the photo itself was silent, ESPN captured footage of the couple together on the sand, highlighting the sparkling new jewelry.
This joyous news arrives amidst changes for the Cavinder sisters. Just weeks prior, speculation arose surrounding the end of Haley’s twin sister Hanna’s relationship with Miami quarterback Carson Beck. Beck recently transferred to the University of Miami after spending four years at the University of Georgia, where he succeeded Stetson Bennett.
Following the rumors, Hanna removed Beck from her social media accounts, prompting a candid response from Haley. In what she described as an “unfiltered” moment, Haley emphasized the importance of trusting intuition and family advice:
“I just want to say one thing, because I can’t be too crazy unfiltered on here: If your sister comes to you or your friend or someone that’s really important in your life, and they have a gut feeling about a relationship or a friendship, for example, and they just tell you that on a repeated basis, trust your dang sister. She’s always right. I promise, you or your mom, they’re always right.”
Haley and Ferguson’s romance has been publicly unfolding since 2023, with September marking their one-year anniversary. Their relationship wasn’t without its challenges; Haley previously addressed the online criticism she faced when they first went public.
“I was in Forever 21 having a great day with my mom and Hanna, and I got this post. And I just started looking at the comments about my face,” she revealed during a YouTube Q&A session with her sister.
Despite facing negativity, the couple appears to be thriving.
In a surprising turn of events, both Haley and Hanna decided to return to Miami for their final season of collegiate basketball in April 2024, reversing earlier decisions regarding transfers—Hanna had initially planned to forgo her remaining eligibility and Haley intended to transfer to TCU.
Here’s a summary:
- Haley Cavinder is engaged to Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson.
- The engagement announcement followed rumors of a breakup between Hanna Cavinder and Miami quarterback Carson Beck.
- The sisters have faced online criticism since making their relationship public.
