The cast of Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders now: Six months after filming, here's what they've been up to
Season 2 of America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders is now streaming on Netflix, offering fans an inside look as DCC Senior Director Kelli Finglass and Head Choreographer Judy Trammell assemble another elite team of talented athletes. The episodes picked up just before the final round of auditions for the 2024–2025 squad and followed the chosen candidates through training camp, emotional cuts, the official team reveal, and into the heart of the NFL season. The NFL season wrapped up in January 2025, meaning some time has passed since filming ended. From DCC Senior Director Kelli Finglass to the veterans, rookies and some of our fave alums, here's what the squad are up to now. Kelli Finglass, a former DCC from 1984 to 1989, became director in 1991 and transformed the squad into a global brand. Known for her high standards and no-nonsense leadership, Finglass expected nothing less than excellence from every cheerleader this season. Since filming ended for the second season, Kelli has been spending time with family. She posted a picture from her son Ryan's 31 mile marathon run, writing: "A regular marathon wasn't enough… first Ultra Marathon in the books! ✅ Proud of @ryan_finglass #31Miles #LegsOfSteel." She also appeared on Beavers Wealth Management podcast alongside Ryan for a Mother's Day special episode, and responded to rumours she'd had a face lift in a video posted to her Instagram. Judy Trammell, a DCC alum from 1980 to 1984, became head choreographer in 1991 and has led the squad's iconic routines for over four decades. In March, she announced she's expecting her fifth grandchild sharing a picture of her son and his partner at their baby gender reveal. A month later, she celebrated her first born's birthday, sharing a throw back snap on her grid. Before joining the DCC in 2022, Amanda danced for the Golden State Warriors and overcame a training camp cut with determination and grit. Since filming, Amanda has been travelling the world with her husband Ralph. They've been everywhere from Switzerland to Lake Como and have been sharing lots of scenic photos on their Instagram accounts. In May, she attended Dallas Cowboys 2020-2024 cheerleader Jessica Bowman's (now Lanham) wedding. Alongside a picture of her and Ralph, she wrote: "The best night celebrating the @jbo97 and @lanham5 🥹 isn't the bride just perfection? Wow!" Once known as Caroline's little sister, Anna Kate stepped into her own as a seasoned DCC member after a strong rookie year. She turned 25 in June and was surprised with a party from her boyfriend Michael Snyder. As well as turning a year older, Anna has been travelling and doing press for the show, recently travelling to New York along with the rest of the squad. Armani has been booked and busy since filming, working with several brands including Vaseline and Shea Moisture. She's also been doing a bit of travelling, and attended Jessica Bowman's hen weekend in Cabo, Mexico. She moved home in May and shared the process to her 67,000 followers. The longest running veteran to try out for the year, Chandi has been keeping busy since season two ended. She recently had a little hair makeover, dying her dark locks honey brown. She attended the baby shower of Dallas Cowboys 2020-2024 cheerleader Mckenzie in February. After making the team last year, Reece returned as a veteran for season two, now happily married to her college sweetheart and first ever boyfriend, Will. She celebrated her one-year anniversary in April, sharing a picture from her wedding day with a sweet message. "I'm so thankful God placed you in my life and to have been a part of an incredible vendor team to document your beginnings as husband and wife" she wrote."It's been such an honor to watch your journey and all the amazing things God is doing through you both." The same month, she sat down with Will to talk to Valley View Baptist Church youth. A fan-favorite rookie candidate last season, Charly was the 2023-2024 squad's very last cut. Since filming, she's been doing a bit of travelling, as well as spending time with fellow rookies Ariel and Ava. One of the breakout stars of season one, Kelcey spent five seasons with the squad from 2019-2024. Following her retirement from the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders in 2024, Kelcey shifted her focus to her full-time career as a pediatric nurse. She also got engaged - and later married - to Nate Crnkovich. Although she's stepped away from the spotlight of professional cheerleading, she continues to stay involved in the dance and wellness world and she's still very close to the team, recently attending Jessica's wedding. Kalina joined the DCC in 2019 and became a four‑year veteran. After taking a break, Victoria relocated to New York to chase her dream of joining the Rockettes, and now shares her life through fitness, dance, and mental‑health advocacy. She regularly posts videos of her choreography on Instagram and recently shared a video of her last dance for DCC to promote the second season. America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboy Cheeleaders season 2 is available to stream on Netflix.

French Laundry alums debut one of the Bay Area's most exciting new restaurants
When Jade Cunningham left her native Philippines for Napa Valley in 2018, she had never heard of Michelin Guide or the French Laundry. She thought her future husband, Mathew Cunningham, was 'working at a laundromat.' But just a few years later, Jade Cunningham scored a job in the kitchen at the famous three-Michelin-starred restaurant, and now, the couple is opening their own spot: Carabao, Napa's first Filipino restaurant. Carabao (145 Gasser Dr., Suite C), named after the Philippines' national animal, a water buffalo, opens June 20. The intimate and tropical space will serve classic Filipino dishes with a modern twist. The traditional peanut stew known as kare kare will be paired with a braised oxtail croquette; tacos are filled with crispy pork sisig and topped with a quail egg; and the sweet spaghetti sauce will be a Bolognese made from Wagyu hot dogs. It's surprising Napa Valley didn't have a Filipino restaurant until now. According to government data, the Philippines ranks as the second most common birthplace for foreign-born residents in Napa County, behind Mexico. Moreover, Napa County's fastest-growing immigrant population is Filipinos in American Canyon, the city south of Napa. But Carabao's significance goes beyond Wine Country. It's also one of the only modern Filipino restaurants in the Bay Area from a chef with a fine dining background, joining San Francisco's Abaca. And it comes at a time when Filipino food is gaining more recognition across the country, with Chicago's Kasama becoming the first Filipino restaurant in the world to earn a Michelin star in 2022. Cunningham's first gig in the U.S., however, was far from the world of fine dining. At 16, while earning a degree in hotel and restaurant management, she spent a summer in Ohio, cooking burgers and hot dogs at Cincinnati's ballpark. 'I got culture shock. I had never used a microwave before,' she recalled, noting that much of the food at the grocery store required one. She would try to cook meals that reminded her of home, but struggled to find the right ingredients. After graduating from university, Cunningham dreamed of working on cruise ships. She needed experience, so she returned to the U.S. in 2018, this time landing in Napa to work at the Meritage Resort. California immediately challenged her first impression of American cuisine. 'I learned that there are different colors of cauliflower, broccoli and bell peppers,' she said. 'I was so amazed at that.' After she met Mathew and learned that he did not, in fact, work at a laundromat, she was offered a stage at the French Laundry, a sort of unpaid internship that lasted a few days. Then, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Cunningham volunteered in the French Laundry garden. Once the restaurant started hiring again, she joined the team as a commis, a junior chef, and spent most of her time peeling tomatoes. She quickly moved up the ranks, eventually working at every station in the kitchen, including canapé, where the oysters and pearls dish is constructed. At the end of 2022, Cunningham and Mathew launched Carabao as a Filipino popup when a French Laundry alum lent them his food truck, Butter's Burgers (now set up at Armistice Brewing), for the night. She and Mathew 'texted everyone we knew,' she said, and set up in a church parking lot in downtown Napa. They sold out in one hour. About a year later, the pair started hosting regular Carabao popups on the weekends at Napa's Winston's Cafe. For a few months, Cunningham worked seven days a week, until she eventually left the French Laundry to pursue a brick-and-mortar. She and Mathew found a partner, Eric Gonzales, a follower of their popups whose grandmother opened Vallejo's first Filipino restaurant in 1980. Carabao's menu will feature dishes like pork and vegetable lumpia ($7-$11); bistek ($72), a sirloin steak served with onions prepared five different ways; and the Santa Fe salad-inspired Summer Ensalada ($17), drizzled with Cunningham's homemade 7,641 Thousand Island dressing, named after the number of islands in the Philippines. Some dishes are a play on popular items from Filipino fast food chain Jollibee, like the Aloha smashburger ($24), which comes slathered with pineapple marmalade in place of tomato, and the sweet spaghetti ($23) that Jollibee crowns with sliced hot dogs. 'Back home, we used tender, juicy hot dogs,' Cunngingham said. 'We're trying to get the best quality we can get, so (at Carabao) we're using Snake River Farm Wagyu hot dogs.' Dessert includes puto kutsina ($8), steamed rice cakes served with fresh grated coconut and topped with dulce de leche, and halo-halo ($15), the classic shaved ice offered here with inventive toppings, like candied hibiscus and caramelized plantain. Soon, Carabao will launch a more casual lunch menu featuring chicken adobo ($21) and lugaw ($10), a Filipino comfort favorite of gingery rice porridge with toppings, like boiled egg, tofu and tripe. 'It was the first dish I learned how to cook,' said Cunningham. 'When you're sick, you're craving lugaw.' Cunningham also plans to eventually transition a small bar in front of the open kitchen into a counter that exclusively serves a tasting menu. The restaurant, located outside of downtown Napa and near the city's Cinemark movie theater, feels like a tiny, tropical paradise. The walls are painted green and pink — Cunningham's favorite colors — and traditional Filipino farmer hats called salakot hang from the ceiling. There are several hand-painted murals, including ones depicting the Philippines' carabao and tiny Maya birds. The space seats roughly 50 people, with one large table reserved for group celebrations. 'Most Filipinos go out and bring their whole family,' Cunningham said, noting that hers is especially large. Her mother has 10 siblings, and her father has 11. 'Food is always at the center of our traditions.' Carabao. Opens June 20. 145 Gasser Dr., Suite C., Napa.
