“Mine Forever!!!!” declared Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott on Instagram, announcing his engagement to Sarah Jane Ramos. The Dallas Cowboys quarterback orchestrated a proposal that paired a million-dollar ring with their 8-month-old daughter’s help.

The NFL’s third-ranked passer in yards chose the Cowboys’ bye week to pop the question. This came just after a tough 47-9 loss to the Lions. Ramos’ response? Eight words that captured hearts across social media: “I can’t wait to spend forever with you.” The moment featured their daughter Margaret Jane Rose “MJ” Prescott. She wore a creative onesie that read: “Hi Mommy, Daddy has a question for you!?”

The ring itself tells a story of careful planning. A stunning 10-carat emerald cut diamond sits between two tapered baguettes, all set in 18-karat yellow gold. Jason Arasheben, CEO of Jason of Beverly Hills shared more insight: “He was involved in every aspect and really wanted this to be a ring she would love. He wanted something classic but with a little flare.”

This milestone arrives during Prescott’s most lucrative year. He signed a record-setting four-year deal worth $240 million in the offseason, averaging $60 million annually. Their journey started publicly when Ramos attended the Cowboys’ victory over the Giants in Week 1 of the 2023 season. This marked her first appearance in Prescott’s NFL world.

“Being your parents is the biggest blessing life has to offer,” they wrote after welcoming MJ on Leap Day, February 29. From matching tattoos honoring their daughter to sharing family photos in coordinated Burberry outfits, each moment adds depth to their story.

Sarah Jane: the woman behind the Cowboys star

At 30, Ramos brings her own identity to their partnership. The certified wine and spirits specialist marked her recent birthday with telling words: “I truly have everything I could wish for and have a feeling this next chapter will be the best one yet.” That chapter now includes a dazzling engagement ring and forever with the Cowboys’ star quarterback.

Their relationship stands out for its privacy in the public eye. Last July, Prescott offered a rare glimpse into their family life. He shared photos simply captioning them as “Moments & Memories.” MJ proudly wore his number 4 Cowboys jersey alongside their dogs in the shared pics.

In a September 2023 PEOPLE interview, Dak Prescott revealed his grounded perspective: “I want people to understand that I’m an everyday guy, just as they are, that set a goal, and it was to be in the NFL. I worked my butt off each and every day to get into the position that I am. It’s a blessing to do what I love at the highest level.”

As the Cowboys gear up to face the 49ers (3-3) in San Francisco on October 27, this bye week turned into a celebration of love. Their story proves that behind every great quarterback stands an equally impressive partner, whose eight simple words mean more than any million-dollar gesture.
