Single and Ready to Mingle: Dak Prescott's Friend Sets Record Straight

When you’re spotted grabbing dinner with an NFL star, the rumor mill doesn’t waste time spinning. But Caitlin Rance is making sure everyone knows exactly where she stands—and it’s decidedly solo.

The bridesmaid of Dak Prescott’s ex Sarah Jane Ramos found herself at the center of dating speculation after being seen with the Dallas Cowboys quarterback at a Pro Bull Riders event in Fort Worth, Texas on Friday. Eyewitnesses told TMZ the vibe looked a little more than friendly, and suddenly Caitlin was the subject of whispered theories across social media. By Saturday, she’d had enough.

Taking to Instagram Stories, Caitlin posted a tongue-in-cheek message with a friend to drive home her point: she’s single. Really single. So single, in fact, that she’s got an active Raya profile to prove it. The timing was deliberate—the post came around the same moment TMZ captured video of her, Dak, and a friend dining together at a Mexican restaurant in Texas, all of them rocking preppy outfits.

Here’s where it gets interesting: when TMZ actually called Caitlin to ask about the rumors directly, she handed the phone straight to Dak. No awkward deflection, no“no comment.”Just a simple phone handoff that spoke volumes about the casual nature of the whole situation. Turns out, being friends with both someone and their ex doesn’t automatically make you the next headline.

The context matters. Dak and Sarah Jane Ramos called off their engagement in March after about 18 months together—mere weeks before their wedding was supposed to happen. These days, they’re peacefully coparenting their two children. Caitlin’s friendship with both clearly extends beyond the breakup, which is refreshingly mature in an era where friend groups often fracture after relationship drama. Sometimes a dinner is just a dinner, and sometimes being spotted with someone famous just means you actually know them.

The real story here isn’t scandal—it’s that Caitlin knew the fastest way to kill a rumor is to laugh it off publicly and let the facts speak for themselves. Mission accomplished.
