NFL star Dak Prescott and his ex-fiancée Sarah Jane Ramos reached a temporary custody agreement for their two young daughters in the 11th hour, narrowly avoiding a courtroom showdown.
Page Six has learned that the former couple, who called off their destination wedding weeks before their scheduled appointment, entered into an informal temporary settlement agreement on Monday.
The Collin County, Texas, judge overseeing the case signed the agreement on Wednesday, a day before Mr. Prescott and Mr. Ramos were scheduled to discuss custody issues in court.
“The court has determined that this order is in the best interests of the children,” the document states. However, the agreement itself has not been filed and will not be filed unless enforcement is required.
“Sarah Jane is very happy that she and Duck are able to make their own decisions for the girls involved and their families,” Raymond LaFour, Ramos’ Miami-based family law attorney, told Page Six.
“She strongly believes that working together as parents is extremely important and has long-term benefits for girls. Sarah Jane remains dedicated to putting girls’ best interests and lives first.”
Prescott’s attorney, Levi G. McCathern II, agreed, saying, “This agreement is a positive step and reflects Duck’s commitment to raising her daughters in a healthy and supportive environment.
“We are pleased that this matter has been resolved amicably outside of court. At the end of the day, the focus remains where it should be – the well-being of Duck’s two daughters, and he is fully committed to ensuring that.”
Mr Prescott filed a suit affecting parent-child relationship (SAPCR) on March 17, after Mr Ramos was forced to cancel their April 10 wedding in Lake Como, Italy, due to “ongoing extramarital affairs”.
In Texas, the SACR is often used by unmarried parents to define the rights and responsibilities of a parent in the best interests of the child or children.
This law provides for court orders regarding child custody, visitation (including possession and visitation), assistance, and medical/dental assistance.
Prescott, 32, argued in her petition that it was “in the best interests of the children” to be “appointed co-custodians” of Ramos, also 32, and daughters Margaret, 2, and Aurora, 10 months.
A public hearing to discuss the issue was originally scheduled for April 2. But on that day, the ex-lovers told the judge they had agreed to resolve the matter outside court.
Prescott and Ramos began dating in May 2023, welcomed baby Margaret in February 2024, got engaged eight months later, and welcomed baby Aurora in May 2025.
A source previously told Page Six that Ramos believed the Dallas Cowboys quarterback had a history of communicating with other women during their relationship, but that she stayed with Ramos in hopes that he would clean up his act for the sake of his family.
Our sources say the certified wine and spirits expert essentially gave Prescott an ultimatum in January, only to discover in March that Prescott was allegedly using secret social media profiles to send inappropriate messages to multiple women and ex-girlfriends.
“The decision to cancel the wedding was mutual,” Prescott’s attorney previously told Us.
“Unfortunately, when celebrities go through personal events, speculation tends to run wild and the truth is often sidelined. People should stop making up stories and respect their privacy.”
