Ferguson took to Instagram to mark their milestone with a collection of four photos that perfectly summed up their relationship. The first two photos? Oh, just casual moments where Ferguson is either leaning in for a kiss or hugging Cavinder. You know, the typical “I’m a professional athlete, but I’m also a romantic” vibes. Then, there’s the beautiful sunset shot – it’s giving “Instagram filter who?” because nature was doing its thing.

But the final photo is where the internet lost it. In true meme fashion, Jake Ferguson’s face was superimposed onto a dragon, with Haley as the rider, straight out of House of Dragons. I mean, who doesn’t want to be the power couple slaying the world – metaphorically, of course – while riding a fire-breathing dragon?

While the couple’s relationship looks picture-perfect online, Haley Cavinder hasn’t shied away from discussing the darker side of being in the public eye. Earlier this year, she opened up about the harsh comments she faces online. “It’s tough when people online make negative comments about you and your boyfriend,” Haley shared.

“I don’t enjoy being called ugly online, especially when Jake sees those comments.” Despite the criticism, she remains confident, proving that the couple’s bond is as strong as ever.

As Jake and Haley continue to share their journey with fans, one thing’s for sure – whether they’re sharing romantic moments, laughing over memes, or tackling online trolls, they’re doing it together. And that’s what makes them the ultimate couple to root for.
