Cowboys Legend Wins Divorce Battle, Protects $20 Million From Ex-Wife After Two Years of Legal War

Dallas, TX – October 1, 2025

For years, Ezekiel Elliott symbolized power, grit, and loyalty in Dallas. But after his divorce from Tiffany Thompson turned into a two-year courtroom battle, the Cowboys legend proved he could fight just as hard off the field.

Elliott, who earned $75.8 million across nine NFL seasons, faced claims from his ex-wife seeking massive financial support. But forensic audits revealed Thompson had hidden joint assets and spent recklessly on personal luxuries without Elliott’s knowledge.

 

The turning point came when Judge Michael Rodriguez ruled that Elliott would protect more than $20 million in assets, including investments, real estate, and savings. Instead of permanent alimony, Thompson was granted only eight months of transitional support.

 

The decision marked a major win for the former Cowboys star, whose 2019 six-year, $90 million deal once made him the NFL’s highest-paid running back. Despite challenges in his post-Cowboys career, Elliott’s financial future is now secured.

 

Elliott broke his silence after the ruling: “I’ve carried the ball for my team and my family, but this was the hardest fight. Tiffany deserves her share for raising our family — but she cannot take it all.”

Dak Prescott Becomes Part-Owner of Texas Rangers
The Dallas Cowboys’ franchise quarterback has just taken his Texas roots to an entirely new level. Dak Prescott, the face of America’s Team since 2016, has officially become a part-owner of Major League Baseball’s Texas Rangers.   The Rangers, founded in 1961 and World Series champions in 2023, are one of the most iconic franchises in Texas sports. Known for legends like Nolan Ryan and Adrian Beltre, the team is once again chasing postseason glory in 2025. Prescott’s arrival in the ownership group only strengthens their identity as Texas’ team.   Dak Prescott, a two-time Pro Bowler and one of the most recognizable athletes in the NFL, has long been linked to Texas pride. His leadership for the Cowboys has not only brought stability under center, but also made him one of the league’s most marketable stars. Now, he is stepping into baseball, a sport he grew up watching in Louisiana and later embraced fully after moving to Texas. “This is about more than business,” Prescott said in a statement. “Texas has given me everything — my career, my opportunities, my platform. Being part of the Rangers means building something that will outlast my playing days. I want to see Texas sports reach every corner of America.”     Prescott follows the path of other NFL stars who’ve entered sports ownership while still playing. Patrick Mahomes became a co-owner of the Kansas City Royals, while Jalen Hurts recently joined the Philadelphia Phillies ownership group. Like them, Prescott is proving athletes can expand their legacy beyond the field. His decision comes at a time when the Rangers are balancing veteran leadership with rising young stars. Having an NFL superstar aligned with their brand brings an additional layer of cultural influence, likely boosting ticket sales, marketing, and fan engagement across Texas.   For Cowboys fans, it’s a moment of pride to see their quarterback extend his leadership into another sport. For Rangers fans, it’s validation that their franchise continues to attract big names and powerful voices who want to grow the game.   In the end, Dak Prescott’s move isn’t just about owning part of a baseball team. It’s about planting roots deeper into the heart of Texas, about legacy, and about ensuring that both Cowboys blue and Rangers red remain symbols of Texas excellence for generations to come.
