Deion Sanders and long-time fiancée Tracey Edmonds have decided to call it quits after 12 years together.
Edmonds shared a statement on her Instagram to announce the split. According to her, the break up was “mutually decided.”
“We have mutually decided that it is best for us to move forward in life AS FRIENDS and have made this decision with love in our hearts, respect for each other, and appreciation for the time we’ve shared together,” the caption read.
“Please keep us in your prayers as we go through this transition. Thank you for being there for us ALL THESE YEARS! We love you and appreciate you SO MUCH!”
Sanders commented on her posts as well with nothing but admiration for the TV producer.
“Love u Tracey and You’ve been a true blessing to me. I appreciate the times we’ve shared and they laughs we’ve had,” he wrote under the post.
“You are an amazing woman and a tremendous mother. God bless u with every endeavor and every step u take. You are HER. Tracey-Mack !!!”
The couple had been engaged for almost four years, making the announcement of their engagement on Valentine’s Day 2019.
Sanders and Edmonds met in 2012 while at a movie premiere party for a film she produced. The news of their breakup comes less than 24 hours before the college football transfer portal reopens.
