Deion Sanders is one of those guys who’s never truly out of the limelight. Coach Prime has always been in the news, from his prime-time NFL years to his flashy attire, from baseball fields to coaching sidelines. But while viewers are tuned in to his football tactics and high-octane interviews, many are curious: What’s happening in his love life?
Well, the response is no—Sanders is not married.
Get to know Tracey Edmonds: The Coach Deion Sanders’s Lady (For a Little While)
For over a decade, Tracey Edmonds was the woman by Sanders’ side. She’s a thriving producer, CEO, and entrepreneur who caused as much of a splash in Hollywood as Sanders did on the field. They began dating in 2012 and were engaged in 2019, but ended their engagement in 2023.
Tracey is not only famous for dating Coach Prime—she’s a force to be reckoned with in her own right. Edmonds is CEO of Edmonds Entertainment Group Inc. and AlrightNow.com and has directed blockbuster films such as Soul Food and Jumping the Broom. She even co-hosted the entertainment news program Extra, for which she won an Emmy. If Sanders is all about football swagger, Tracey added red-carpet sophistication.
So, how did these two worlds intersect?
According to reports, they met through mutual business associates and immediately hit it off. Though they were both involved in different careers and cities—Sanders in the world of sports, Edmonds in LA—their relationship survived more than 10 years.
Sanders frequently fawned over her in interviews. In one interview with People, he stated, “Tracey’s a blessing. We’re not just in love; we respect one another. That’s the glue.” They, however, publicly announced their friendly breakup on Instagram in December 2023.
Tracey said, “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.”
Deion responded with class:
“Love u Tracey and you’ve been a blessing to me. I value the times we’ve spent together and the laughs we’ve shared. You are a wonderful woman and an incredible mother. God bless u with every step u take and every endeavor.”
So, although there’s no ring on Coach Prime’s finger, there has undoubtedly been love, growth, and many Instagram moments.

At JSU, Sanders brought the program from obscurity into national prominence. In his tenure, they had an 11-2 season in 2022 and ran undefeated through the regular season—a school first.
His dedication to elevating HBCU athletics drew universal respect, and his presence attracted national notice and recruits to Jackson State that had never been seen before.
In 2023, Sanders took the Colorado job. His sons, Shedeur Sanders, an elite quarterback, and Shilo Sanders, a defensive back, were with him. Deion’s coaching ideology—”smart, fast, tough, disciplined with character”—has gained popularity among players and fans.
