Colorado football coach Deion Sanders and his fiance, Tracey Edmonds, have split after 12 years, the couple announced on Instagram Sunday.

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 weve shared together, Edmonds and Sanders wrote in a joint statement. Please keep us in your prayers as we go through this transition.
