Perth's Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Revels in Australian Off-Season Luxury
Faith Ward, the Perth-born cheerleader for the iconic Dallas Cowboys, is making the most of her break from the NFL spotlight by immersing herself in the high life back home in Australia. The 22-year-old rookie, who debuted with the famed squad last year, has swapped pom-poms for poolside relaxation and exclusive influencer gatherings during her time off.
A Royal Treatment at Crown Perth
This week, Ward was treated to an opulent stay at Crown Towers in Perth, where the hotel staff went above and beyond to spoil her. Among the special gifts she received was a unicorn plush toy from the viral British brand Jellycat, a delightful surprise for the cheerleader who is known to be an avid collector of the popular stuffed animals.
Her social media feeds have been buzzing with updates, as she shares glimpses of her Australian adventures with her American fanbase in Texas. From documenting her busy schedule to showcasing the stunning landscapes of her homeland, Ward is bridging continents through her online presence.
Sun-Soaked Days and Glamorous Nights
During her stay, Ward soaked up the summer vibes at Crown Perth's Sun Sets poolside event, joining local content creator Ciara McQueen for a golden hour photoshoot. The duo posed around the luxurious multi-tiered lagoon pools, adorned with inflatable toys, capturing the essence of a perfect Perth day.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, Ward wrapped up her enviable summer day at the Crystal Club, where she snapped a breathtaking photo of a pink sunset over the city skyline, further highlighting Perth's natural beauty to her international followers.
A Whirlwind Tour of Australian Highlights
Known affectionately as 'Flexi Faith', Ward's off-season journey began with a whirlwind trip across the country, making stops in Melbourne and Sydney for a series of high-profile influencer events. In Melbourne, she spent two days at the Australian Open, looking fashionable courtesy of collaborations with Beginning Boutique and Mecca, alongside fellow influencers Jacquie Alexander and Sopha Dopha.
Her Sydney itinerary was equally packed, featuring an event for Selena Gomez's Rare Beauty brand, a visit to the Instagram headquarters, and a television appearance on Sunrise. During her time on the show, Ward was interviewed by hosts Nat Barr and Matt Shirvington, where she treated them to a high kick lesson and even took a turn at reading the weather forecast.
From Perth to Texas and Back Again
Ward rose to prominence last year when she was selected to join the Dallas Cowboys cheerleading squad, often dubbed America's Sweethearts and popularised by the Netflix documentary series America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Since September, she has been performing on the sidelines for the team, which is currently in its off-season, typically running from April through July following the conclusion of the NFL season and playoffs.
With auditions for the next DCC season set to begin in May, many fans are eagerly hoping that Ward will try out again, continuing her journey as one of Australia's most notable exports to the world of professional cheerleading. Her off-season escapades in Perth and beyond serve as a vibrant reminder of her roots and the global appeal of her story.
