All’s fair in love and football for Cade York and Zoë Dale.

York, an NFL kicker for the Cincinnati Bengals, and Dale, who is a cheerleader for the Dallas Cowboys, have been an item since summer 2024 despite their different football allegiances.

“[Our teams] are playing on Monday, and I was like, ‘Well, Zoë, I will see you at home no matter what,’” York told reporters in December 2024. “It’s pretty cool. … She’s going to be rooting for me. It’s gonna be great. She already told me [during] second quarter and fourth quarter is when she’s on the visitor’s side, so I’ll have to sneak her a couple smiles.”

The Bengals and the Cowboys faced off at the Texas team’s home stadium on December 9, 2024. It was York’s first game for the Bengals after he was elevated from the practice squad roster. During the game, he even scored a field goal.

“Praise God,” Dale was heard saying from her perch on the sidelines.

After York’s team won the game, he ran over to the sidelines to reunite with Dale for a victory kiss.

York was initially drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 2022 and traded to the Washington Commanders two years later. After playing one game with the Commanders, he was waived in September 2024 before being signed by the Bengals.

Dale, for her part, first made the DCC squad in July 2023. In 2024, she successfully auditioned for her second year with the team. (The cheer squad is notably the subject of Netflix’s America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders docuseries.)

Dale and York jointly shared footage from the Bengals vs. Cowboys game, captioning it with a Bible verse from Romans 5:3-5.

“Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope,” the caption read. “And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”
