Reece Weaver became a fan favorite on Netflix’s America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, so when she retired after three seasons, people wanted answers. A lot of them landed on the same theory: her husband, Will Allman, must have pushed her out. Weaver says that couldn’t be further from the truth. She told Us Magazine her retirement was“100 percent solely my decision,”adding that Will was her biggest cheerleader and supporter through the whole process.
The couple married in April 2024 and have since relocated to New York City, where Weaver just made her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in Chicago. It’s a limited six-week engagement at the Ambassador Theatre that wraps up October 18, and it marks a pretty remarkable pivot from NFL sidelines to one of the most famous roles in musical theater.
Weaver’s story is a good reminder that public figures rarely get to write their own narrative first. She cleared things up calmly, gave credit to her husband, and got right back to work. So what do you think: should fans stop guessing at the reasons behind a celebrity’s career moves, or is speculation just part of the deal?
