The split, confirmed to PEOPLE by a representative for Ramos, highlights the couple’s mutual decision to part ways rather than any significant disputes. “Both are heartbroken about the cancellation of the wedding,” the representative stated. “However, there wasn’t any strife leading up to this. It was amicable.”
Dak and Sarah share two young daughters: Margaret Jane Rose, who is two years old, and nine-month-old Aurora Rayne. Their focus now remains on co-parenting effectively and maintaining a positive atmosphere for their children. According to Ramos’s representative, “They are deeply committed to raising their girls in a loving environment and wish to ask for privacy as they navigate this challenging time.”
The couple began their relationship in September 2023 and became engaged a year later in October 2024. Despite the recent breakdown in their engagement, they had previously shared fond experiences as a family unit. Their parenting journey has brought new dimensions to their relationship, a topic Ramos highlighted in a December 2024 interview with Sports Illustrated.
Ramos discussed the impact of becoming parents, explaining, “Parenthood shifts the focus from just the two of you to the well-being of your children.” She continued to express how the experience had enhanced their emotional bond, making their partnership feel even more profound.
Furthermore, Prescott had echoed similar sentiments about their growing family in August 2024 during an interview with CBS Texas, stating that fatherhood “changed my world.” He remarked on the responsibilities he felt as a father and underscored the importance of taking his role seriously—views that reflect their joint commitment to their children.
Prior to their split becoming public, Ramos had shared glimpses of her life on social media, including a recent Instagram post featuring a bachelorette party in the Bahamas. In her post, she celebrated the support from friends while expressing love for her social circle, stating, “I truly believe you can get through anything in life as long as you have really great friends.”
The anticipation of their upcoming wedding had generated excitement among fans, making the news of their broken engagement even more startling. As both Prescott and Ramos move forward, they seem dedicated to ensuring a stable environment for their daughters despite personal changes in their relationship status.
This recent development is a reminder of the complexities that can emerge in high-profile relationships, especially under the public’s watchful eye. As they embark on this new chapter apart, their priority remains the well-being of their children while allowing them the necessary space to adjust to this unexpected transition.
