Who is Dak Prescott partner Natalie Buffet? A look at Cowboys QB's love life amid his injury against NY Giants
Quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League, Dak Prescott, had a severe injury that landed him into surgery and shocked his fans during a match at the AT&T Stadium on Sunday, October 11, where the Cowboys scored a win against the New York Giants. Prescott in tears was taken to hospital on Sunday afternoon as his horrendous injury left his right foot swiveled around in its socket. During the game, Prescott fell awkwardly and twisted his ankle as medics ran onto the field.
As the football star reached the hospital, his older brother, Tad, assured the fans that Prescott was hoping to get fully recovered. In a Twitter message on Sunday, Tad said: “God is good, and he’ll be back STRONGER than ever. I F**KING guarante3 IT. Let’s go @dak continue to walk by FAITH & I’ll make sure you continue to fight the Louisiana-born sportsman raised his fist defiantly as he was carried off, to roars of approval from the Cowboys fans.”

As Prescott was taken for surgery to clean out the wound and repair the fracture, his teammates expressed grief. "It sucks. Yeah, it sucks," said his team player Ezekiel Elliott, who has grown into Prescott's best friend in the Cowboys team, as reported by ESPN. "I know we won; it just sucks to lose Dak, our leader. And I was talking to the guys and it's going to take all of us. It's going to take all of us to fill that void that we're going to be missing from 4. Just gotta go out there and play for him."
Before the injury hit him, Prescott was off to a record-setting to kickoff the NFL season. ESPN reported that he had entered Week 5 of the game series with 1,690 passing yards. This is an NFL best and the most by a Cowboys quarterback through four games in team history. While we have heard a lot about the football star’s legacy on the field, here a peek into his personal life and relationship.
Who is Dak Prescott's girlfriend Natalie Buffet
Prescott has always tried to stay mum on his love life despite many rumors over his love interests. In January 2017, he was asked during a YouTube show, ‘Inside the Huddle’, about having a girlfriend. Prescott said, “Women need a lot of time. My time is focused on football right now. My first love.” So despite keeping his private life under the wraps and claiming football as his first love, the player did seal several relationships.
He is currently in a relationship with model and influencer Natalie Buffet. Prescott's relationship with Buffet made headlines in April 2020 when police were called to his home during a party for his girlfriend. As per the April incident, Prescott was reportedly celebrating for Buffet’s 23rd birthday after the State of Texas implemented a “safer-at-home” lockdown order due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The NFL star denied that he was having a large party and stated it was a dinner with just 10 people in attendance. He said as reported in The Dallas Morning News, “I understand and accept that there are additional responsibilities and media scrutiny that come with being an NFL quarterback, but it is very frustrating and disappointing when people provide completely inaccurate information from anonymous sources, especially now.” The player added, “To set the record straight — I know that we all need to do our best to socially distance and like everyone else, I am continuing to adjust to what that requires, but the truth is that I was with fewer than 10 people for a home dinner — not a party.”
However, Prescott and Buffet sealed their relationship after the party controversy. Egotastic Sports reported that the couple made their relationship officially known in July 2020. This came to light when Buffet posted a photo of them together on the football star’s 27th birthday. She captioned the post, "Happy birthday babe", with a heart emoji. Dak replied to the post by saying, "My Girl!!! Thank you", and added another heart emoji. In the photo, the pair can be seen twinning in black attire. Buffet is seen wearing a slit dress and showing her gorgeous figure and Prescott is donning jeans and a casual black shirt as the pair stands cozily together.
For the unversed, Buffet attended Southern Methodist University where she studied civil engineering as reported by Cheat Sheet. In 2019, COED.com featured Buffet as “COED Girl Of The Day” and mentioned her as not only an Instagram model but also a social media influencer. Before Buffet, Prescott had been linked to a few other Instagram models, including Lauren Holly and Ireland Borba, as reported by Cheat Sheet.
