published an interview Thursday with the barrier-breaker.“Never in a million years did I think this would happen. If you told me this two years ago, I would have said you’d be lying,” he said.
That’s when Romero sent in an audition tape for the Gold Rush, the 49ers’ cheerleading team. Given the dearth of men on the roster, he didn’t expect to get called back.
But he did, and now he’s on the sidelines each week, supporting one of the best teams in the NFL. “Rookie season has been a dream, and I will never take it for granted,” he posted early this year on Instagram. “I am so lucky and so humbled to be able to experience this with all of these incredibly talented and beautiful ladies.
This season has changed my life, and [it’s] not over yet! Cheers to being faithful.”A post shared by ✰ J O N A T H A N ✰ (@jonathannromeroo)A post shared by ✰ J O N A T H A N ✰ (@jonathannromeroo)A post shared by ✰ J O N A T H A N ✰ (@jonathannromeroo)A cheer and dance coach, Romero is one of several out gay NFL cheerleaders.
