FRISCO, TX – The Dallas Cowboys and their fans received a jolt of unexpected news Monday as reports surfaced that quarterback Dak Prescott and his fiancée, Sarah Jane Ramos, have called off their engagement just weeks before their planned wedding. The couple, who had been together since 2023, were reportedly set to marry this spring.
The breakup, first reported by TMZ, appears to stem from underlying issues that culminated in a significant disagreement during a joint bachelor and bachelorette party in the Bahamas, according to sources. Ramos is credited with making the final decision to conclude the engagement. The news comes as a surprise to many, given the couple’s seemingly public displays of affection and family life.
A Timeline of the Relationship
Dak Prescott and Sarah Jane Ramos first became publicly linked in September 2023. Their relationship quickly progressed, and Prescott proposed in October 2024 during a Cowboys bye week, utilizing a clever ruse involving a fake golf ball to present the ring. Ramos almost struck the ball before Prescott intervened, a moment he later recounted with amusement.
The couple quickly began planning a destination wedding in Italy. Yet, behind the scenes, the relationship reportedly faced challenges. Sources indicate that the relationship had been “rocky behind the scenes for months” leading up to the split.
Prescott and Ramos share two daughters together: two-year-old Margaret Jane Rose and nine-month-old Aurora Rayne. Despite the end of their engagement, both Prescott and Ramos are reportedly focused on co-parenting their children.
The Cryptic Instagram Post
Adding a layer of intrigue to the situation, Ramos shared a post on Instagram shortly before news of the breakup became public. The post featured photos from her bachelorette weekend in the Bahamas, depicting a lively celebration with friends. However, the accompanying caption – “I truly believe you can get through anything in life as long as you have really amazing friends. I love these girls so much ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥” – struck some as unusually reflective for a pre-wedding celebration. See the post here.
The timing of the post, coupled with the subsequent reports of the breakup, has led many to speculate that it was a subtle indication of the turmoil within the relationship.
Family and Parenthood
Both Prescott and Ramos have spoken openly about the impact of parenthood on their relationship. In a December 2024 interview, Ramos discussed how becoming parents shifted their priorities. “Obviously, being parents brings a new element into your relationship because it’s no longer about the two of you, the priority is your child,” she explained. She similarly noted that raising their children together deepened their emotional connection.
Prescott echoed similar sentiments in an August 2024 interview, stating that becoming a father “changed my world” and emphasizing his commitment to responsible parenting. The couple’s shared focus on their daughters was a prominent aspect of their public image.
What’s Next for Prescott and the Cowboys?
The breakup comes at a critical time for Prescott, as he prepares for the upcoming NFL season with the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys are consistently contenders in the NFC East, and Prescott’s performance will be key to their success. While the personal turmoil may present a distraction, the team will undoubtedly rally around their quarterback.
As of Monday afternoon, neither Prescott nor Ramos have issued public statements regarding the split. It remains to be seen how this personal matter will affect Prescott’s performance on the field or the team’s dynamics. The Cowboys start their offseason workouts in April, and all eyes will be on Prescott as he navigates this challenging period.
The situation highlights the complexities of balancing a high-profile career with personal relationships. For Prescott and Ramos, the path forward will involve navigating co-parenting responsibilities and rebuilding their lives separately. The focus now shifts to how both individuals will move forward, both personally, and professionally.
