Monday night’s matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Cincinnati Bengals brings a unique twist to the field that feels straight out of a Hallmark movie. Bengals kicker Cade York, freshly signed to replace the injured Evan McPherson, has an unexpected connection to the Cowboys — his girlfriend, Zoe, is a Cowboys cheerleader.
Cowboys Cheerleader Zoe and Bengals Kicker Cade York’s Bond
During a media session, York revealed the charming complication. “My girlfriend is actually a cheerleader for the Cowboys,” he shared. Zoe, who joined the Cowboys cheer squad in 2023, might find herself in a tricky position if the game boils down to York’s kicking skills. Despite this, York remains confident. When asked who Zoe would cheer for, he laughed and said, “She’s going to be cheering for me.”
The couple’s weekend before the game was already memorable. Zoe was baptized on Sunday, an event York described as “awesome,” surrounded by her teammates. Little did they know that just a day later, York would receive the call to join the Bengals, setting the stage for an extraordinary game-night scenario.
While fans debate Zoe’s game-night allegiance, York lightheartedly noted a chance to sneak in smiles during the game. “She’s already told me the second and fourth quarters are when she’s on the visitor’s side, so I’ll have to sneak her a couple of smiles,” he said.
For Zoe, the ideal outcome might be a Cowboys victory coupled with flawless field goals from Cade York. Yet, if it comes down to York securing a Bengals win with a last-second kick, Zoe may face the ultimate test of loyalty. Regardless of the result, their story adds a dose of heart to Monday’s game, proving that love can thrive even when the scoreboard divides.
