Melissa Rycroft Strickland Shares Throwback Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Photos: ‘18 Years Ago Today!’
One of America’s sweethearts!
Bachelor Nation fans know Melissa Rycroft Strickland from Season 13 of “The Bachelor” when she got engaged to Jason Mesnick before he revealed he had feelings for his runner-up, Molly.
Melissa eventually found love off-screen with husband Tye Strickland, with whom she shares three kids.
But before her time on our screens with Bachelor Nation, Melissa was a part of the famous Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders from 2006 to 2008.
She appeared on the show “Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team,” which is currently rising in popularity again, as the “America’s Sweethearts” Netflix show has gone viral.
Now, Melissa is taking to Instagram to share some iconic throwback photos from her DCC days.
Alongside pics of her and her fellow cheerleaders, the Bachelor Nation star said, “Pulled up on my feed today from (gasp) 18 years ago today!!!!”
Melissa went on, saying, “Looks like Etiquette Training and something with our swimsuits, and then practice that night!!?! I don’t even remember, it’s all a blur…. (Also, life before contouring and eyelash extensions and Botox and Fillers…….) Different time for sure…”
In the photos, Melissa is seen rocking a DCC swimsuit and sports bra as she poses with her fellow cheerleaders.
And this isn’t the first time that Melissa has shared DCC throwbacks!
Last month, she shared her official team photos and wrote, “DCC has always had a special place in my heart!! Where it all started!! Love this team, love these girls, love these leaders!! It’s something special!!!”
We love seeing these sweet moments and can’t get enough of Melissa’s DCC days!
