America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders<\/a> just dropped on Netflix, and while we’re busy obsessing over the rookies and the drama, it’s also time to say goodbye to four favourites. Megan McElaney<\/a>, Madeline Salter<\/a>, Lea Tunnell<\/a>, and Kleine Powell<\/a> all moved on from the squad at the end of season three. And honestly? They’re thriving. So here’s why Megan, Madeline, Lea, and Kleine left and where they are now.<\/p>\n

After five seasons with the DCC, Megan retired at the end of the 2025-2026 NFL season. She went out on top earning Veteran of the Year and serving as a group leader. Since hanging up her uniform, she launched the Side Kicks Podcast with her brother Sean, a professional dancer at Radio City Music Hall. They dish on all things dance and their career highs and lows. With a million followers on Instagram and a bridal makeup side hustle, she’s not slowing down anytime soon.<\/p>\n
