Coach
Prime,
aka
Deion
Sanders,
and
producer
Tracey
Edmonds
are
calling
it
quits.
Over
the
weekend,
Sanders
and
Edmonds
announced
the
end
of
their
four-year
engagement
and
11-year
relationship
amicably
in
a
now-deleted
post
originally
shared
on
her
Instagram
account.
“To
EVERYONE
who
has
been
there
for
us,
supported
us,
and
shown
us
love…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
couple
wrote
per
The
Grio.
“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
cosigned
the
post
in
the
comment
section:
“Love
u
Tracey
and
You’ve
been
a
true
blessing
to
me.
I
appreciate
the
times
we’ve
shared
and
[the]
laughs
we’ve
had,”
Sanders
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
!!!”
Edmonds
put
a
post
thanking
everyone
for
reaching
out
to
her,
writing
in
the
caption,
“Fam,
thank
you
for
all
of
your
beautiful
posts,
messages,
texts,
and
calls.
Even
though
I’m
unable
to
get
back
to
you
right
now,
KNOW
that
I’m
grateful
for
them.
Your
love,
support,
and
kindness
REFUELS
me!
Sending
everyone
LOVE!”
How
The
Couple
Met
The
couple
met
in
2012
at
a
movie
premiere,
and
Edmonds
initially
connected
with
Sanders,
intending
to
produce
a
reality
TV
show
about
former
NFL
player
turned
college
football
coach.
They
“grew
quite
fond
of
each
other
and
ended
up
dating,”
according
to
People
magazine,
and
maintained
a
relationship
despite
the long
distance
due
to
their
busy
lives.
The
couple
didn’t
let
the
distance
hamper
their
relationship.
“[We
are]
at
the
age
[56]
and
stage
where
I
don’t
think
neither
of
us
needs
a
lot,”
Sanders
told
People.
“It’s
a
blessing,
but
we
understand
each
other
because
we’re
busy
in
our
own
right.”
Social
Media
Got
Jokes
Users
on
X,
formerly
Twitter,
don’t
take
anything
seriously
and
have
been
reacting
to
the
news
of
the
couple’s
split.
Noticeably,
folks
have
been
using
the
moment
to
take
shots
at
Coach
Prime,
who
hasn’t
had
the
best
first
season
at
Colorado
University
since
starting
on
a
good
foot.
“Dang
@DeionSanders
even
Tracey
jumping
in
the
portal,”
one
post
on
X
hilariously
read.
Lol,
damn.

Prime
and
Tracey
Edmond’s
calling
it
quits.
