Cowboys Girlfriend Reveals 'Mental Breakdown' From Criticism of Jake Ferguson Relationship, Says Haley Cavinder
FRISCO - Haley Cavinder is a college basketball standout with a popular presence of her own on social media. But her relationship with Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has raised her profile - which led to what she terms a "mental breakdown.''
“I’m a confident girl, but when people are saying stuff about you — if you have a boyfriend and someone is talking about you online with your boyfriend, like, coming at your features — I’m like, 'This is new and obviously Jake is a great guy, but you don’t want to be called ugly on the internet 24/7, and your boyfriend sees it," she said during a recent Q&A on the Cavinder twins' YouTube channel. "That’s not going to make anyone feel cool.''
As a result of what people were saying about her on social media, Haley said, she suffered a "mental breakdown.''.
"So I had a mental breakdown, but that was a while ago,'' she said. "Honestly, I’m very confident and comfortable sharing my relationship because Jake was very loud about it."
Ferguson, of course, emerged this year as a standout tight end on the most popular team in American sports. The Cavinder sisters - Haley and Hanna - gained attention this year by showing up at Cowboys games to cheer him on.
"It made me feel very comfortable and confident sharing him as well,'' said Haley, who will play for TCU's basketball team next season. "He’s a big part of my life and will continue (to be).
"So it’s not something that I (will) keep private. I go to Cowboys games and he’ll be at my games."
