In an Instagram clip posted on Wednesday, June 17, the mom-to-be hilariously mouthed: “I’ll do anything to get this baby out,” while wearing a cropped navy blue Dallas Cowboys T-shirt and walking alongside a football field.
After Crnkovich replied: “Anything?!” Wetterberg started to perform the DCC’s famous “Thunderstruck” routine, by throwing her hand in the air, twisting her arms around her head, and getting on her knees, before slamming the ground and doing a hair toss.
Wetterberg, who was part of the team for five seasons and left in 2024, beamed as she got up off the grass and laughed about it with her husband.
“In honor of America’s Sweethearts S3….a little something ~none of you asked for~ ✨💙😂 can’t wait to binge watch all of my friends!!” she captioned the fun video.
“HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS KELCEY IM SCARED,” current DCC Kleine Powell commented on the post.

Crnkovich then hilariously said: “Do a jump split,” to which Wetterberg replied: “I’ll do it if you do it.”
DCC Charly Barby also commented: “I LOVE YOU OMG WHAT super woman.”
The retired cheerleader first revealed that she was pregnant by sharing a sweet Instagram video of herself and Crnkovich painting the words, “BABY CRNK JULY 2026,” onto a white wall.
“Baby Crnkovich coming soon,” Wetterberg captioned the Jan. 8 post. “you are already so loved & prayed for, little one! 👣.”

At the end of the clip, the pair shared a kiss before holding up sonogram photos while cozying up on the floor.
The couple’s big news came just over a week after they celebrated their first wedding anniversary.
Wetterberg married the actor and fellow registered nurse during a “very intimate” ceremony surrounded by their immediate families at a Catholic Church on Dec. 30, 2024.
The following day, the pair said “I do” again in a much larger wedding held at the Leo Ballroom in Omaha, Neb., where they both grew up.

During her time as a cheerleader, Wetterberg also worked full-time as a pediatric nurse.
“DCC is more of a part-time job — as a nurse I work 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., then go to practice and get home at midnight, sometimes 1:00 a.m,” she explained on the first season of the show.
As she’s considered an “All-Star,” Wetterberg still helps out the team, coach Kelli Finglass and choreographer Judy Trammell.
