<h3 style="text-align: center;">A Brief Look Back At Tracey Edmonds &; Deion Sanders&#8217; Relationship</h3>
<p>According to <a href="https://people.com/deion-sanders-tracey-edmonds-call-off-engagement-7853459" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PEOPLE</a>, Edmonds and Sanders met in 2012 at a movie premiere for a film Edmonds reportedly produced. The two exchanged contact information, and as they began working on a reality project together, a romance took form.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I started off thinking I was just going to produce [&#8216;Deion’s Family Playbook&#8217;]. But as I started working with Deion on the show, we grew quite fond of each other and ended up dating,&#8221; Edmonds explained at the time, per <a href="https://people.com/deion-sanders-tracey-edmonds-call-off-engagement-7853459" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PEOPLE</a>.</p></blockquote>
<p>The former couple reportedly engaged in a long-distance relationship where Sanders reportedly credited Edmonds for being a &#8220;go-getter.&#8221; Additionally, Sanders explained that they both were &#8220;at the age and stage where&#8230; neither of us needs a lot,&#8221; per <a href="https://people.com/deion-sanders-tracey-edmonds-call-off-engagement-7853459" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PEOPLE</a>.</p>
<p>The pair became engaged in 2019 on Valentine&#8217;s Day.</p>
