Edmonds, a film producer, took to Instagram to break the news in a joint statement, posting: ‘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!’ she added with a praying hands and a red heart emoji.
Coach Prime responded in the comments section, writing: ‘Love u Tracey and You’ve been a true blessing to me. I appreciate the times we’ve shared and they laughs we’ve had. 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 !!!’
The now-ex-couple, both 56, met in 2012 at a movie premiere for a film Edmonds had produced.
Sanders is said to have been so taken with Edmonds that he asked a friend for her number and arranged a meeting to pitch a reality series, Deion’s Family Playbook, but it swiftly developed into something more than a working partnership.

‘I started off thinking I was just going to produce [Deion’s Family Playbook],’ Edmonds explained, via People. ‘But as I started working with Deion on the show, we grew quite fond of each other and ended up dating.’
Sanders proposed to Edmonds on Valentine’s Day in 2019 with the producer announcing their engagement on social media.
‘Happy Valentine’s Day Fam! Sending LOVE to MY LOVE/MY FIANCÉ @deionsanders! ❤️,’ she posted.
‘God is SO GOOD! We’re 8 years in, made it through the storms TOGETHER, and will be spending the rest of our lives TOGETHER!’
The college football coach previously revealed that he and Edmonds like to give each other their space and don’t regularly call or text throughout the day.
However, she was by his side throughout an emergency surgery on blood clots in his legs earlier this year.
‘I’m not leaving this spot until it’s time for #CoachPrime @deionsanders to walk up out of here which we hope will be very soon! Sending everyone LOVE,’ Edmonds wrote on an Instagram post in June.

Edmonds shares two sons, Brandon and Dylan, with musician Babyface. Meanwhile, Sanders has five children, daughter Deiondra, 31, and son Deion Jr., 29, from his first marriage to Carolyn Chambers, and sons Shilo, 23, and Shedeur, 21, and daughter Shelomi, 18, from his second wife, Pilar Biggers-Sanders.
Both Shilo and Shedeur play on the Buffaloes’ football team, while Shelomi plays for Colorado’s women’s basketball team.
The end of his engagement comes amid a tumultuous time on the field for Sanders after Colorado finished the season 4-8.
The Buffaloes started the year 3-0 and earned a spot in the national rankings but fell away dramatically and ended the season 4-8, thanks to a six-game losing streak.
Sanders has since faced a mass exodus of recruits with a number decommitting, including two quarterbacks.
He has also lost three members of his coaching staff over the pas week with defensive ends coach Nick Williams the latest to announce his exit on Saturday night.
Offensive coordinator Sean Lewis was named head coach of San Diego State on Wednesday and tight ends coach Tim Brewster resigned the week prior.
