America's Sweethearts: Where is Kelcey from Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders now?
One of our favourite sports documentary reality series has finally returned to our screens for season two, yep that's right America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are officially back in action on Netflix. However, while we are loving catching up with the OG cast and meeting the new rookies, we can't help but majorly miss season one legend Kelcey Wetterberg. So where is she now and what is she up to?
If you watched season one you'll remember Kelcey was a veteran member of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (DCC) and was entering her fifth year during the filming of the show. For all the non-cheerleader fans out there, cheerleaders generally only serve in the DCC for a maximum of five years, and this was the case of Kelcey who entered her last year during season one.
But what a year it was. Kelcey was named group leader and became a main character in both the team and the show. By the end of the season Kelce retired from being a DCC and this is everything she's up to now.
During season one of America's Sweethearts we learnt Kelcey was also a paediatric nurse alongside her career as a DCC. Part of her decision to leave the cheerleaders was to fully pursue her job in nursing, which she has continued to do since leaving.
Exciting news! On New Year's Eve 2024, Kelcey officially tied the knot to her partner Nate
Crnkovich, who is also a nurse and actor. During the first season we saw Nate pop the question and Kelcey accept.
The couple had two wedding ceremonies, an intimate church service on 30 December, with just their families, and then a big party with all their friends and family on NYE.
The second wedding featured a six tier wedding cake and of course a performance by Kelcey and her fellow cheerleaders from the DCC.
Not only have they tied the knot by Kelcey and Nate also bought their first home together. The couple shared the very exciting news on their Instagrams earlier this week in the cutest video, with Kelcey captioning the post: "We've got exciting news 🥹🏡 we bought a house! @lexiejsmith_ we cannot thank you enough for being our guiding light through this process! You were so helpful even when the process felt discouraging at times. Thank you for getting us our dream home 🤍."
We can't wait to see the home content.
Speaking of content, since appearing on the Netflix docu-series Kelcey has gone onto gain quite the social media following. She now has nearly half a million followers on Instagram and over 200,000 on TikTok.
Alongside her nursing work she also does sponsored posts on TikTok and Instagram for brands such as Westmore Beauty, Tanceuticals and PrettyLittleThing.
Once a DCC, always a DCC. Though she may have officially left the squad, she's still very much part of it in spirit.
Ahead of the release of season two of America's Sweethearts on Netflix, Kelcey shared a sweet post to celebrate the women.
Writing on Instagram she said: "I am so excited to watch season 2, and more importantly, watch the world embrace even more women that have worked their whole lives to be here. Let me tell you, they are pretty special 💙."
We couldn't agree more!

Los Angeles Dodgers say they denied ICE access to Dodger Stadium parking lots
ICE agents drove to Dodger Stadium's parking entrances in an apparent effort to use the vast lots as a staging area, but did not gain entry to the venerable Los Angeles ballpark, the Dodgers said in a statement Thursday. Shortly after 10 a.m. PDT, a caravan of vans and other vehicles appeared at multiple parking lot entry points, according to social media posts. An overhead view of the caravan, captured by Fox 11 Los Angeles, indicated the presence of Department of Homeland Security officers. In the ensuing hours, a small group of protestors arrived at Gate E, chanting at ICE officers outside the stadium gates. Eventually, Los Angeles Police Department officers arrived. 'This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization,' the Dodgers said in a statement. 'Tonight's game will be played as scheduled.' A message with ICE's media relations office was not immediately returned. Expert MLB daily picks: Unique MLB betting insights only at USA TODAY The Dodgers are scheduled to play the San Diego Padres at 7:10 PDT, with a celebrity softball game hosted by All-Star Mookie Betts preceding the game at 5:30. A crowd of more than 50,000 is expected for the game. The apparently unscheduled ICE arrival is the latest twist in a saga pitting President Donald Trump's desire to deport large amounts of undocumented persons against cities aiming to salvage due process for its residents. Los Angeles is one of the cities specifically targeted by Trump, with nearly two weeks of aggressive raids in the Southland, sparking widespread protests and aggressive reaction from both LAPD and Los Angeles County Sheriffs. Dodgers players remained largely mum on the issue, until veteran utilityman Kiké Hernández released a statement on Instagram pledging support for Latinos profiled, arrested and disappeared under ICE. Manager Dave Roberts professed not having enough information to weigh in on the issue, though the franchise came under more scrutiny for its lack of support after R&B singer Nezza sang the national anthem in Spanish at Dodger Stadium, and posted videos and correspondence showing it was against the Dodgers' wishes. That led to a Dodgers spokesperson telling reporters Wednesday that they would announce 'plans for assistance to immigrant communities impacted by the recent events in Los Angeles.' Barely 12 hours later, ICE vehicles showed up at the stadium gates. The Dodgers' fan base is heavily Latino, and in the past week right-wing influencers have entered the fray, with one noting that it would be 'amazing' if ICE agents staged a raid at Dodger Stadium.

‘America's Sweethearts' Is a Compelling Sports Series
Season 2 of the documentary series 'America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders,' on Netflix, is a bit less rah-rah than Season 1 — still full of tears, high kicks and sisterhood but also more attuned to the pain of it all, the sorrow and struggle of cobbling together one's self-worth. One of this season's leads is Jada, a five-year veteran of the team and among its best dancers and most thoughtful leaders. She lays out the season's theme at the beginning: 'Everyone's going to say, 'Well, they're just cheerleaders,'' she says. 'Well, we're really good cheerleaders.' Her grin begins to spread. 'Show us that you appreciate us,' she adds. Are the members of the team appreciated? Not with money, they're not, and part of this season's most invigorating arc is the cheerleaders' quest for better pay. Season 1 brought additional fame and adulation to the team, and it also drew attention to the exploitation of the enterprise. As Kylie, another team veteran, explains: 'The world was kind of telling us, 'Girls, fight for more.' And we're like, 'OK!'' As the women practice the grueling signature routine, we hear the opening strains of the AC/DC song 'Thunderstruck,' over and over. But the true refrain of the season is the fretting about being in one's own head. It's the catchall term for all distress and self-recrimination, the explanation for any lack of confidence or lapse in perfection. Yes, performers can overthink things, especially in prolonged auditions, and rumination and anxiety are enemies to the wide smiles and sexy winks the Dallas cheerleaders' routines require. The job is to make it look easy. But there's an interesting tension. Your head is where the good ideas are, too — ideas like: 'Hey, a lot of people are making a lot of money off my work; why doesn't any of that go to me?' Or: 'Even people who I believe have my best interests at heart can disappoint and hurt me.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
