Deion Sanders' split with Tracey Edmonds, ending their 12-year relationship tears down college football fans - "Knew that already"

Colorado coach Deion Sanders and Tracey Edmonds are no longer together. Sanders and his long-term fiance, Tracey Edmonds, have decided to split after spending twelve years together.

The couple, who initially met in 2012, announced their engagement back in 2019. And ever since, Tracey Edmonds has been a strong pillar of support for Coach Prime, even during his recent major surgeries. Recently, in an emotional Instagram post on Sunday night, Tracey Edmonds opened up about this major decision.

She stated that it was mutually agreed upon and that despite the breakup, both Tracey and Deion will continue to remain friends.

" 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. 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!", Tracey wrote.

The announcement of her breakup with Coach Prime has left fans shell-shocked, as they took to social media to show their love and support through these trying times.

On the other hand, a few other fans talked about how they had figured out the break-up because of their recent absences from each other's social media.

"I figured that already!!! Not surprised..."
