TLDR
Days after Dak Prescott and Sarah Jane Ramos called off their Italy wedding, the would-be bridesmaid who was caught holding hands with Prescott insists she is single, even as eyewitnesses describe a couple-like behavior.
The love story that was supposed to end at an altar in Lake Como, Italy, has shifted to a bull riding arena in Texas. Caitlin Rance, once chosen to stand beside Sarah Jane Ramos as a bridesmaid, is now at the center of fresh romance rumors with Ramos’s former fiancé, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.
After TMZ first reported that Prescott and Rance attended a Pro Bull Riders event together in Fort Worth, Page Six confirmed they were there with a larger group that included some Cowboys players. Multiple eyewitnesses said the pair were holding hands and moving through the night like a couple, then heading to a nearby concert and allegedly leaving together.
The next day, when contacted, the two denied they were an item over brunch. Page Six reached Rance for comment, and she reportedly handed the phone to Prescott as they both pushed back on the dating narrative, even as curiosity about their connection only grew.
Rance decided to speak for herself on Instagram. In a Story, beverage in hand, she addressed the rumors head-on. “I think that this is the opportunity to make sure that everyone knows that I am single,” she said. She went further, adding, “I have a very active Raya profile. And we are just here to have a good time,” before clinking glasses with a friend.
The history between Prescott and Rance is long and well-documented. They met at Mississippi State University, where she played NCAA Division I volleyball, and have remained friends for years. Rance was set to be a bridesmaid when Prescott and Ramos planned to exchange vows in Italy in April. There is no indication that the quarterback and Rance were romantically involved before his split from Ramos.
The canceled wedding was already a story with real emotional weight. The couple, parents to daughters Margaret Jane and Aurora Rayne, had celebrated a joint bachelor and bachelorette getaway in the Bahamas in March. During that trip, Ramos reportedly discovered what she believed were inappropriate messages Prescott had sent to ex-girlfriends and other women through incognito social media accounts.
A source told Page Six that Ramos understood Prescott had been communicating with other women, yet chose to stay and gave him an ultimatum in January for the sake of their family. Within weeks of the planned ceremony, the wedding was off. According to TMZ, the former couple emailed guests, writing, “It is with heavy hearts that we privately inform our attendees that we have made the very difficult decision to cancel our wedding,” and added that they “welcome your prayers.”
Prescott and Ramos, both 32, reached an informal temporary custody arrangement in April for their two young daughters. For Ramos, the narrative has become one of a mother protecting her peace after a broken engagement. For Prescott, every public outing now comes under a magnifying glass that blurs the line between his personal life and his franchise-quarterback image.
That leaves Rance walking a narrow line between longtime friend and perceived romantic rival. Her insistence that she is single frames the Fort Worth weekend as companionship, not betrayal, yet the optics are impossible to ignore. Three people who once shared a wedding party are now navigating a very public reset, and fans are watching to see whether this is the start of a new chapter or just a fleeting rumor born in the glare of stadium lights and social media.
What do you make of Dak Prescott stepping out with a former bridesmaid so soon after a canceled wedding? Is this harmless friendship, or a line crossed in the court of public opinion?
