Yahoo News Reece From 'America's Sweethearts' Just Married Her First-Ever Boyfriend
In Netflix's newest docuseries, America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, hundreds of women compete for a coveted spot on the 2023-24 Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders squad. But one newcomer was an early favorite for director Kelli Finglass: Reece Allman, a University of Alabama alumna who ultimately makes the team.
During the show, Reece, 22, becomes a standout during her Latin ballroom-inspired tryout dance. In her confessionals, she remains steadfast in her Christian faith, telling cameras that her dancing abilities are a gift from God.
But who is Reece, and what has she been up to since filming wrapped? Here’s everything you need to know about everyone’s new favorite cheerleader.
Reece Allman is from Florida.
Reece was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, where she grew up with her two brothers. She's a Florida girl at heart and loves the beach, per her profile on the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader website.
She also competed in several pageants in her home state—and won. Check out this IG:
She started dancing when she was 3.
Reece has been dancing since she was a toddler.
“I knew dance was my passion at a very young age, and I knew I wanted to pursue it,” she shared with the team’s website.
She is trained in tap, ballet, jazz, hip hop, pointe, modern/lyrical, clogging, and acrobatics. She went to a specialty School of the Arts in middle and high school to work on her craft.
She graduated from the University of Alabama.
Reece graduated from the University of Alabama in 2023 with a degree in dance. She performed on the Alabama Dance team during her time at the university.
She captioned an IG: “Thank you @univofalabama for the best 4 years. It’s been the greatest honor and blessing to walk this campus as a student. I’ll always remember this chapter and hold it near to my heart."
"This experience has opened new doors I never thought I’d walk through," she added. "I don’t know the title of my next chapter in life, but I know the author of my story.”
Where is Reece from the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders now?
Well—she's married! In April, Reece wed her “best friend” Will Allman in Florida. The pair met at the University of Alabama—he was even her first-ever boyfriend, she revealed during the docuseries.
“Married the woman of my dreams in front of 250 of my best friends and family. A perfect day that will never be forgotten. Thank you to all of you who were able to come celebrate Reece and I,” Will wrote on Instagram following their wedding.
They even celebrated with some of the DCC girls and former rookie candidates, including Charly Barby, Kelly Villares, and Anna Kate Sundvold.
Outside of her marriage, Reece has been keeping busy as a member of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Here she is volunteering in a pediatric children's hospital with the squad:
In an April post, Reece called her first year with the team "a blessing."
"Thank you so much @dccheerleaders for opening your hearts to a girl from Jacksonville, FL," she wrote. "This year has been more than I could ever imagine. Being a part of an organization that remains consistent in their purpose to serve in many avenues means the world."
Go, Reece, go!
