Weaver is a former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader and professional dancer best known for her appearance in Netflix’s America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. A former member of the University of Alabama Dance Team, Reece earned her degree in dance before joining the iconic DCC squad as part of the 2023 rookie class, where she stayed for three seasons before starting her next chapter. Originally from Jacksonville, Florida, she brings a strong background in technical dance, performance, and athletic precision to her performances.

Leading with positivity and faith both on and off the field, Reece has captured the hearts of a highly engaged audience across her social platforms. She shares authentic glimpses into her life, from her day‑to‑day as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader and newlywed to her husband Will, to her passions for beauty, fashion, florals, and faith. Through it all, Reece uses her platform to inspire, uplift, and connect with her community-bringing grace, joy, and intention to everything she does.
