Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Confirms Split From Sarah Jane Ramos in New Court Filing
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has confirmed his split from ex-fiancée Sarah Jane Ramos, filing a Texas custody petition on March 17 to protect the best interests of their daughters — Margaret Jane, known as MJ, 2, and Aurora, 11 months — Us Weekly exclusively reports.
Quick personal-life update out of the NFL that crosses into pop culture land: Cowboys QB Dak Prescott quietly ended his engagement to Sarah Jane Ramos, and it is now spelled out in black-and-white through a custody filing. The paperwork lays out how they plan to raise their two young daughters and sets some ground rules for the near term.
Where things stand
On March 17, in Texas, Prescott, 32, filed a petition centered on the best interests of his and Ramos' daughters: Margaret Jane, aka MJ, who is 2, and Aurora, who is 11 months. The filing states the parents are separated and asks the court to appoint both of them as joint managing conservators — Texas-speak for joint legal custody.
The documents, reviewed on Sunday, April 5, make it clear this is about formalizing a co-parenting plan and keeping the kids' routine stable while everything gets sorted.
How they got here
Prescott and Ramos, also 32, started dating in 2023. They welcomed MJ in February 2024 and got engaged that October. Their second daughter, Aurora, arrived in May 2025. About a year after the engagement, they called it off.
'There wasn’t any rockiness in the lead-up, and there was no big argument or blow up. It was a mutual decision.'
That is how Ramos' rep summed it up last month. No dramatic blowout, just a decision to go their separate ways.
What Prescott is asking the court to do (for now)
Prescott is seeking temporary orders while the case is pending, plus a temporary injunction to limit certain behavior. The filing also includes the usual procedural asks — notice, a hearing — and the standard catch-all for general relief. Here is what the proposed ground rules look like:
- Have both parents appointed as joint managing conservators, framed as being in the children's best interest.
- Require Ramos to preserve any documents or electronic data that could matter to the case.
- Prohibit either parent from taking MJ or Aurora out of Texas without the other parent's written permission.
- Keep communication between the exes clean — no 'vulgar, profane, obscene or indecent language'.
- Within 30 days of the March 17 filing, both sides must produce documentation about their resources and ability to pay child support.
- What it does not cover: there are no stipulations about who occupies their previously shared home, and no restrictions on spending for 'reasonable and necessary living expenses'.
The court's nudge
The paperwork also encourages both sides to work it out without a drawn-out fight — specifically to try mediation and other alternatives before dragging everything back in front of a judge.
Bottom line
The engagement is over, the split is confirmed in the court file, and the focus has shifted to a structured, civil co-parenting setup for MJ and Aurora — with travel limited to Texas unless both agree, receipts due within a month, and a strong suggestion to keep things amicable.
