Kleine Powell was an integral part of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders organization for her five years with the squad. In 2025, she was part of a small group that fought for a pay increase for professional dancers, ultimately resulting in the cheerleaders receiving a 400% raise.

The 2025-2026 season was her last on the squad, and she revealed during the Season 3 finale of America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders that she would be hanging up her uniform and retiring.

It’s now been more than a year since that scene was filmed, and Kleine has been easing into life off the field. Part of that means spending more time with her husband, Luc Powell. Scroll down to learn more about him and their relationship.
