Haley Cavinder opens up about her ‘mental breakdown’ after receiving hate comments for dating Cowboys' Jake Ferguson

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Haley Cavinder reportedly had to endure a lot of pain as she began her relationship with Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson.

Recently, the 23-year-old did a Q&A YouTube video with her twin sister Hanna Cavinder, where she frankly spoke about the time when she became the target of trolls.

Haley Cavinder felt ‘uncool’ due to online hate

She shared, as per The New York Post, “I was in Forever 21 having a great day with my mom and Hannah and I got this post and I just started looking at the comments about my face.”

She continued, “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."

“That’s not going to make anyone feel cool,” she noted.

Haley then revealed, “So I had a mental breakdown, but that was a while ago,” before stating further, “Honestly, I’m very confident and comfortable sharing my relationship because Jake was very loud about it…”

“He was always like that so it made me feel very comfortable and confident sharing him as well… He’s a big part of my life and will continue so it’s not something that I [want to] keep private. I go to Cowboys games and he’ll be at my games,” she told the publication.

Haley Cavinder says Jake Ferguson contacted her first

Haley and the Dallas tight end reportedly began dating in October 2023 after meeting via social media in June.

Referring to Ferguson, the media personality shared, “He DM’d me. He likes to say I DM’d him, but I didn’t.”

“I was in Fort Lauderdale at the time. He has a place in Florida as well and we went on a date and just kinda met up — and then hung out for 10 days straight,” she mentioned.

Haley added, “It was so fun because it was the Fourth of July weekend, we were always seeing each other, but it just took time. I’m not one to jump into a relationship and then we started dating in October. Now we’ve been dating since then and it’s been really really good.”

Internet urges Haley Cavinder to 'rise above the hate'

Meanwhile, some people have shown their support for Haley in the comment section of the video.

A user wrote, “Rise above the hate before hate rises above you!”

Another shared, “Haley & Hanna are absolutely stunning & gorgeous! So so sexy.  10 out of 10.  The faces of an Angel!  Are people insane?!  Keep doing your thing ladies. Love your style. Fresh fashion w always matching Nike color ways.  As a former D-1 football player it is insane being a student athlete.”

“Your entire week is owned by NCAA.  We didn’t have NIL in my playing days so the discipline it takes to play on that level as an NCAA student-athlete & somehow find time to build their social media and influential empire is BADASS!  MAKE THAT MONEY BOO BOO!  NCAA sure as hell makes theirs with the universities!  Cavinder twins are OG’s & should be very proud. Keep faith. To all the trolls & Internet hate kill them with kindness.  Stay on the path. Love yourself always and forever above all else.  Love your enemies as I have loved you. -JC,” they added.

A third wrote, “Love all your guys videos and love you guys so much your my idol I love tcu pls respond.”
