Andre Simmons, a Texas father, is receiving praise and recognition for his heartwarming act of dancing alongside his 15-year-old daughter, Jazlin, and her cheer team during a high school football game in Temple, Texas.
In a video recorded by his wife, Cecelia, Andre can be seen dancing with Jazlin and her friends on the sidelines. The video went viral on TikTok and received over 55,000 likes. Cecelia captioned the clip, highlighting that while people often ask Andre about the boys continuing his football legacy, he has waited his whole life to be a “cheer dad.”
Following the viral moment, Andre Simmons appeared on Good Morning America, where he shared that he had practiced the cheer routine for a few days to create a lifelong memory for his daughter. His job as an infantryman keeps him away from home for extended periods, making the opportunity to see his daughter perform with her cheer team even more special for him.
Simmons expressed that participating in the cheer routine was his way of supporting his daughter and making up for the time he had spent away from home. He sees it as an opportunity to create unforgettable memories with his daughter and bond over shared experiences.
He shared his commitment to joining his daughter in the cheer routine in the future, emphasizing that it’s all for her, and he’s eager to continue participating and creating cherished moments together.
