Even when she’s enjoying some much-deserved down time, Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Ava Lahey couldn’t help but show off her rock-hard professional dancer’s muscles.
Relaxing on a boat with her boyfriend and other friends, her enviable abs stole the spotlight in her in her Sunday, July 6 Instagram share. The first photo in the carousel post shows her wearing a white string bikini and sitting next to her long-term boyfriend, amateur MMA fighter Tyger Vaniter. Her chiseled core reveals the hard work the cheerleaders put in as members of the iconic squad.
One of the rookies featured in Season 2 of the mega-hit Netflix docuseries America’s Sweethearts, Lahey was a bit of an underdog due to her being cut during 2021 auditions. But the dancer rose to the occasion, becoming a breakout star this year.
The Floridian has a successful classical ballet pedigree, having trained with prestigious companies such as Joffrey Ballet, Houston Ballet and San Francisco Ballet.
“For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a professional dancer, but I didn’t know exactly in what capacity,” she writes on her official team bio. “As I got older I realized I wanted to dance in the NFL, and no other team came to my mind other than the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders! Aside from the incredible talent, what stood out to me the most about DCC is how much they prioritize community service and military support.”
Now that she’s made it? “Being a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader,” she writes, “is my dream job!”
