Deion Sanders’ GF Karrueche Tran Spotted Escorting Him to OR After Cancer Surgery Medications Kicked In

Deion Sanders is a through-and-through fighter. There is zero doubt about that. Coach Prime is revealing the bad and ugly about his experience with bladder cancer. The situation was so severe that he had to draft a will. The past few months have been a nightmare for the Sanders clan. We know that Shilo and Shedeur had no knowledge of this horror, with Coach Prime choosing to fight this battle alone. However, he sure did have the support of one special person.

“It’s not easy at all to think that you may not be here,” Coach Prime says dejectedly in his new Instagram video. There aren’t many instances of seeing Deion Sanders in a position like that. The secrecy that surrounded his sudden departure from Boulder also kept his sons out. With family being completely unaware of this tragedy, it must’ve been extremely difficult for Coach Prime to fight through a near-death sentence. But Sanders found comfort in the presence of Karrueche Tran, with whom he is now confirmed to be in a relationship.

Bucky released a Part 1 video of Deion Sanders’ bladder surgery, which helped the medical team to remove his cancer. Once the surgery medications began kicking in, Coach readied himself for the surgery. He said a powerful prayer to build his confidence, and Tran quietly sat by his side, participating in that small act. “Watch over everybody in this room. Bless their hands, Lord. Just give them the knowledge and wisdom to do what they got to do,” Coach Prime said. They didn’t need words to express how big this moment was. She held Coach Prime’s hand, for everyone to see, as Sanders spoke with every single person he passed on the way to the OR. “Everybody happy?” he kept asking whoever he came across.

Karrueche was rumored to be in a relationship with Deion Sanders since February this year. The two were spotted hand-in-hand outside a restaurant. Neither of them acknowledged these rumors in the slightest. But that out-loud hand holding in the hospital will silence all the murmurs. This isn’t going to be an under-the-wraps romance anymore, not when Coach Prime came close to planning “a different kind of gathering.” (One that would involve a service and people dressed in black.) Like a dutiful partner, she stayed by Coach Prime’s side through the most decisive part of this journey. It looks like Karrueche Tran is in the long-term run with Deion Sanders, based on how much their bond has grown.

Karrueche Tran broke down while disclosing Deion Sanders’ cancer

Coach and Karrueche Tran have not known each other for a long time. And yet, the latter was visibly shaken as the medical team went about preparing for the surgery. Tran was distraught as she registered how grave the matter was. It is Tran who breaks the news in the video, and she had to pause in between as emotion took over sometimes. “We are dealing with bladder cancer,” she said. She also explained the procedure in a gist, but not without breaking into a few sobs in between.

Once she steeled herself, she sat down with Lauren Askevold, the Buffs’ assistant athletic trainer. She tried to get a thorough picture of what was going to happen in the surgery, what would happen afterward, and find answers for everything about Coach Prime’s ailment. It shows that Tran wasn’t just there for consolation. She was there as his partner, all in for the good and bad that happened to Deion Sanders. We don’t know yet if Tran accompanied Coach Prime back to his recovery period at the Canton ranch. But from what’s already out there, it’s more than just a casual thing for the pair.

Deion Sanders kept his children away during this troubling time, dealing with this battle himself. But he wasn’t entirely alone–not with the care and support that came from Karrueche Tran. Now that Coach Prime is healthy and “cured,” we won’t be surprised to see her in the stands on Colorado gamedays.
