One of our favourite sports documentary reality series has finally returned to our screens for season two, yep that's right America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are officially back in action on Netflix. However, while we are loving catching up with the OG cast and meeting the new rookies, we can't help but majorly miss season one legend Kelcey Wetterberg. So where is she now and what is she up to?
If you watched season one you'll remember Kelcey was a veteran member of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (DCC) and was entering her fifth year during the filming of the show. For all the non-cheerleader fans out there, cheerleaders generally only serve in the DCC for a maximum of five years, and this was the case of Kelcey who entered her last year during season one.

But what a year it was. Kelcey was named group leader and became a main character in both the team and the show. By the end of the season Kelce retired from being a DCC and this is everything she's up to now.
Where is Kelcey Wetterberg now?
She's still a nurse
During season one of America's Sweethearts we learnt Kelcey was also a paediatric nurse alongside her career as a DCC. Part of her decision to leave the cheerleaders was to fully pursue her job in nursing, which she has continued to do since leaving.
She got married
Exciting news! On New Year's Eve 2024, Kelcey officially tied the knot to her partner Nate
Crnkovich, who is also a nurse and actor. During the first season we saw Nate pop the question and Kelcey accept.
The couple had two wedding ceremonies, an intimate church service on 30 December, with just their families, and then a big party with all their friends and family on NYE.
The second wedding featured a six tier wedding cake and of course a performance by Kelcey and her fellow cheerleaders from the DCC.
She's bought a house
Not only have they tied the knot by Kelcey and Nate also bought their first home together. The couple shared the very exciting news on their Instagrams earlier this week in the cutest video, with Kelcey captioning the post: "We’ve got exciting news 🥹🏡 we bought a house! @lexiejsmith_ we cannot thank you enough for being our guiding light through this process! You were so helpful even when the process felt discouraging at times. Thank you for getting us our dream home 🤍."
We can't wait to see the home content.
She's got a major social media following
Speaking of content, since appearing on the Netflix docu-series Kelcey has gone onto gain quite the social media following. She now has nearly half a million followers on Instagram and over 200,000 on TikTok.
Alongside her nursing work she also does sponsored posts on TikTok and Instagram for brands such as Westmore Beauty, Tanceuticals and PrettyLittleThing.
She's still supportive of the DCC
Once a DCC, always a DCC. Though she may have officially left the squad, she's still very much part of it in spirit.
Ahead of the release of season two of America's Sweethearts on Netflix, Kelcey shared a sweet post to celebrate the women.
Writing on Instagram she said: "I am so excited to watch season 2, and more importantly, watch the world embrace even more women that have worked their whole lives to be here. Let me tell you, they are pretty special 💙."
We couldn't agree more!
