Some NFL fans don’t think Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is all that special to warrant such a huge contract. But, in the past few seasons, he’s proven a lot of his haters wrong since he’s led the Cowboys to the playoffs twice in a row. According to USA Today, Prescott inked a 4 year, $160 million deal back in 2021. Is his play really worth it?

That much is argued by fans and sports analysts daily. What isn’t argued is how good yet tough his life truly is. He made that crazy amount of money. He has an interesting backstory which makes him even more entertaining as a player. Prescott has no issue telling about his private life.

That extends to the romantic side of things, a part of his personal world that most fans really aren’t that aware of despite his openness about it. He recently went through a tough breakup but has rebounded with someone else. Here’s everything to know about the Dallas athlete’s romantic life, and what has truly transpired over the past few years.

Why Did Dak Prescott And Natalie Buffett Break Up?

Oftentimes, NFL players get with other celebrities on their level of fame and status. That isn’t really the case for Prescott and his latest long-term relationship.

Prescott’s 2021 NFL campaign didn’t end so well. Prescott and the Cowboys lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFL’s Wild Card round. However, Prescott’s nightmare didn’t end there, as he also ended things with model Natalie Buffett, Page Six announced.

The couple was believed to have broken up in March 2022, although things weren’t confirmed until 2023.

Just how were things beforehand? Here’s an exact timeline of how things were, and why exactly they split from each other.

The two confirmed their relationship when Buffett posted about Prescott’s birthday on Instagram in 2020. Later that year, she posted a heartfelt tribute to Prescott, once again on Instagram.

They’ve also publicly celebrated the 2021 holidays by posting about each other on both Instagram and Twitter, most posts coming from Buffett’s end.

Prescott and Buffett then made their official red carpet debut at the 2021 NFL Honors ceremony, where Prescott won the Comeback Player of the Year award.

After that, not much was public about their relationship. Then, as Page Six recently reported, things ended in March 2022. It took nearly an entire year for this information to come out, with not many people noticing her absence throughout the 2022 campaign.

It’s unknown why exactly they broke up, although according to that Page Six report, Prescott was “casually dating” afterward. Now, however, rumors of a new lover have appeared publicly.

Prescott’s newest girlfriend has piqued the internet’s interest for a multitude of reasons. One, obviously, has to do with Prescott’s position as the quarterback of America’s team. The other has to do with who exactly Prescott’s girlfriend is – an LSU swimmer and Instagram model, Jadyn Jannasch.

According to Sportskeeda, Prescott is currently dating Jannasch, and that the pair were “active” during the 2022 holidays. An insider from Page Six claimed that this is a “rebound relationship” for Prescott, especially given the circumstances. Prescott is an athlete for an NFL team, while Jannasch is an LSU student.

According to Page Six, Jannasch is the daughter of Jeff Jannasch, the owner of Texas’s Town Square Mortgage. Jeff once posted a picture of himself with Prescott on Instagram, and it’s been confirmed that Jeff has a business relationship with the Cowboys.

Jenna’s college athletic record is rather impressive. Jannasch once was awarded third place in a 100-yard breaststroke, quite an impressive feat considering the athletic landscape LSU is in. Not every swimmer can make it to LSU, let alone win in breathtaking fashion like Jannasch has.

That’s pretty much all essential and confirmed information about their relationship at the moment, which gives enough clues and insight into their relationship. Is it really love, or is this just a rebound relationship for Prescott?

Does Dak Prescott Truly Love Jadyn Jannasch?

While a lot of information has come out about Jannasch, and a decent amount of details about their relationship, the answer to this question isn’t quite so obvious. Both sides seem to be fine with where things are at now, but there’s more than meets the eye.

First things first – what exactly is a rebound relationship?

Rebound relationships can mean different things to different people. Typically, a rebound relationship is one that is entered into shortly after the end of a previous relationship. Yes, that fits the description of this particular saga.

The term “rebound” suggests that the person is recovering from a breakup and looking for someone new to help them move on. For that to be the case, Prescott needed to have been crazily in love with Buffett. Given the social media posts and how much PDA they had on social media and on the red carpets, that appears to be true.

Given that context, it’s easy to point to Prescott and Jannasch’s fling as a rebound relationship of sorts. However, it is important to note that not all relationships that begin soon after a breakup are rebound relationships. Just because those insiders close to the situation believe it is, doesn’t mean the two aren’t growing feelings for each other.

At this point, they’ve been seeing each other for at least 6 months. Rebounds don’t normally last that long, at least if one goes by the average description of a rebound relationship. According to Page Six, Prescott and Jannasch have been “more active” since the holiday season, meaning things are definitely heating up.

Given the timeline, Jannasch was there by Prescott’s side after his devastating loss to the 49ers. That can certainly help accelerate things if she gave him the love and support he needed, as true love and feelings grow from tough times.

Many fans dislike Patrick Mahome’s wife Brittany. She’s angered countless celebrities as well. However, she’s been by his side during countless big losses, which has undoubtedly been a huge factor in their relationship’s success. The same could be said for Gisele Bundchen, who’s claimed she’s “sacrificed” enough of her life to be by Tom Brady’s side.

If Prescott and Jannasch are to be successful, they’ll certainly need to learn from those couple’s playbooks.
