The couple's relationship first came to light last September when Cavinder posted a photo of herself wearing Ferguson's jersey on social media. However, their public display of affection was met with some negativity, with trolls targeting Cavinder's appearance.
During a YouTube Q&A session with her sister, Hanna, Cavinder revealed the impact of the negative comments she received. "I was in Forever 21 having a great day with my mom and Hanna, and I got this post. And I just started looking at the comments about my face," she said.

Despite the disheartening experience, Cavinder found solace in Ferguson's unwavering support. "I’m a confident girl, but when people are saying stuff about you – if you have a boyfriend and someone is talking about you online with your boyfriend … like coming at your features. I’m like, ‘This is new.' And obviously, Jake is a great guy, but you don’t want to be called ugly on the internet 24/7 and your boyfriend sees it. That’s not going to make anyone feel cool. So, I had a mental breakdown."
Despite the initial challenges, Cavinder expressed her love for Ferguson and her willingness to showcase their relationship. "I'm not going to stop posting about my boyfriend," she stated.

Cavinder's twin sister, Hanna, is also in a high-profile relationship, dating Georgia quarterback Carson Beck. Hanna had initially decided to forgo her final season of eligibility, while Haley planned to transfer to TCU, but they later announced their return to Miami.
As Ferguson prepares for Thursday night's game, he carries the love and support of his girlfriend, who has proven to be his rock through the ups and downs. Cavinder's unwavering presence serves as a testament to the strength of their relationship and the resilience they have forged together.
