What happened

The Cowboys’ starting quarterback and ex-fiancée Sarah Jane Ramos broke up in March, just one month ahead of their scheduled Italy wedding.

Why it matters

“Stress may help lose a little weight here and there,” Prescott said with a laugh Tuesday when asked about his offseason.

Common ground

I’m going to shut it right there.” Page Six reported that “ongoing infidelity issues” played a role in the split as the couple parted ways right after their bachelor and bachelorette parties in the Bahamas.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
