Deion Sanders and Karrueche Tran's relationship

Sanders and Tran first drew dating rumours in July 2025 after Tran appeared in videos from Sanders' son Deion Sanders Jr.'s Well Off Media. She was seen at Sanders' hospital bedside before he underwent surgery to remove his bladder after his cancer diagnosis.

At the time, neither rushed to confirm the relationship. Sanders even avoided a question about Tran during an appearance on former NFL player Asante Samuel's podcast. Tran, however, later gave a clearer answer during an August 2025 podcast appearance.

When asked if she was dating, Tran simply said, “Yeah, I'm dating.” She added, “If I wasn't having fun, I wouldn't be in it.” She said she knew what she wanted and would not stay in a relationship if she was unhappy. By late December, Sanders and Tran had gone Instagram official. In January 2026, Sanders discussed their relationship on his Tubi series, 'We Got Time Today'. He praised Tran as a “good woman” and “good person,” saying she had “added so much to my life and my days and my moments.”
