The Unplanned Podcast with Matt & Abby

Reece & Will: Newlywed life, 300% pay increase, and accidentally finding fame

Reece Weaver — breakout star of America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders — and her husband Will join Matt & Abby to talk about newlywed life, going viral overnight, and how sudden fame shaped their first year of marriage. Reece shares what it was like becoming the most-followed DCC ever, their honest thoughts on Netflix’s Season 2, and the real story behind the team’s push for higher pay. Will jumps in with their chaotic love story (including getting rejected five times) and why they’re already dreaming about adding both a baby and a dog to the mix.
