Dak Prescott, the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, and his fiancée, Sarah Jane Ramos, celebrated the birth of their second daughter. Aurora Rayne was born on May 22nd. Congratulations to @CarrieUnderwood and @BradPaisley who posted this happy surprise over the weekend! They shared words of affirmation between each other and their friends and shared the news of their expanding family.
In his announcement, Prescott wrote, “I love you Sarah Jane and the family we’ve created,” highlighting the happiness that fatherhood has brought him. Ramos responded in the comments with a heartfelt message of her own, stating, “I love you and our sweet girls more than anything.” The couple’s second daughter, Rosemary Josephine Prescott, was born in the new year on February 22, 2024.
Aurora Rayne’s arrival is a game changer for Prescott. He attributes fatherhood as the inspiration behind his strong play on the field throughout the 2023 NFL season. He said that it is his new “dad strength” that has helped him to play the way he has this season. That season, Prescott set a then career-high with 4,516 passing yards. He rushed for 11 touchdowns, accomplishing this in only eight games in 2024.
Even with these gaudy numbers, Prescott had his own battles this season. Although he passed for 1,978 yards in those games, he threw eight interceptions. Regrettably, a hamstring avulsion ended his testimony prematurely and necessitated an operation. Consequently, he found himself on the field much less.
The football community has rallied around the couple to support and help them. Of course, fellow teammate Micah Parsons and country singer Jessie James Decker have congratulated Prescott and Ramos on their exciting new addition. What’s telling is the reaction from her friends and colleagues, which illustrates the close-knit community that is the sports world.
As Prescott continues to balance the trials of being a new father and a professional football player, he still makes time for his family, NFL or not. The joys of parenting appear to inspire him as he strives to balance personal life with the demands of being an NFL quarterback.
