Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle is making headlines. Some of that attention is because of the North Carolina native’s recent game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, securing a win despite being down by seven points. Dowdle achieved 56 of his 87 game yards in the final 30 minutes of the game. The other half are paying attention to the relationship with his longtime girlfriend and mother of his two daughters. Who is Dowdle’s girlfriend? Here’s what we know.
Dowdle’s Longtime Girlfriend Was His High School Sweetheart
Pictured in a recent birthday post dedication by Dowdle’s mom is him and his longtime girlfriend Shay Harrison, posing together for prom. The photo is followed by more images of Dowdle throughout the years. In a similar expression of love, in 2023, Dowdle captioned a photo of the couple celebrating their second pregnancy with the following: “When we have each other, we have everything.” Dowdle also included the hashtag #girldad expressing his pride about being a father to his and his girlfriends’ two baby girls. His social media is a blend of football and family moments placing emphasis on both being important to him.
Harrison Is a Supportive Mother, Girlfriend and Esthetician
With the support of his loved ones, including Harrison, Dowdle continues to blaze a trail for himself as the second string running back of the Dallas Cowboys. The mother of two, and longtime girlfriend to Dowdle, is an esthetician. While she appears in about half of Dowdle’s few family posts, her social media page is private.
We wish Dowdle and Harrison continued success in their careers and their relationship.
