Dak Prescott's breakup with fiancee Sarah Jane Ramos made more headlines than a lot of the Cowboys' offseason moves — and it's even led to some commentary from the team's head coach.

Earlier this month, Prescott and Ramos went their separate ways about a month out from their planned wedding date following a massive argument at their joint bachelor and bachelorette parties in the Bahamas.

According to TMZ Sports , the couple's relationship "had been rocky behind the scenes for months" and Ramos was the one who called things off. That eventually led to a joint statement and a reaction from coach Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer.

Dak Prescott, Sarah Jane Ramos release statement on relationship

Prescott and Ramos first went public with their relationship in 2023, with Dak proposing to Sarah Jane roughly two months after signing his record-setting four-year, $240 million extension.

But while the Dak and Sarah Jane maintain that their engagement is "beyond repair," they do plan to co-parent their two baby girls moving forward.

“As many of you know, our wedding is currently scheduled to take place in Lake Como, Italy, on Friday, April 10, 2026,” the couple's statement read (via TMZ). “It is with heavy hearts that we privately inform our attendees that we have made the very difficult decision to cancel our wedding. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and we welcome your prayers.”

Brian Schottenheimer reacts to Dak's recent breakup

In a quote from Cowboys beat reporter Jon Machota, Dallas HC Brian Schottenheimer revealed that he's talked with Dak since things fell apart and that the QB is in good spirits heading into the new season.

“Dak and I have had a ton of conversations,” Schottenheimer said. “He’s in a really good spot. Obviously what he’s dealing with is incredibly tough. But if anyone can handle it, he can.”

You never want to see couples split in such an ugly way. But hopefully it turns out being a positive for their family and children if they can't reconcile their differences.
