Karrueche Tran and Deion Sanders are still keeping it on the low, after confirming their relationship. The two have been dating for a while now, navigating tough times as Coach Prime battled his cancer diagnosis. Through it all, Tran has gradually become part of the Sanders family, and perhaps most importantly, she’s earned the approval of the youngest star of the household, Snow.

Back in August, Tran admitted she was in a relationship. She didn’t name her beau, but the hint was clear. “If I wasn’t having fun, I wouldn’t be in [the relationship],” she said on the What’s Next with J. Ryan podcast. That openness suggested she had already been welcomed into the Sanders circle. For that to happen, Karrueche Tran must’ve been warmly welcomed to the family. Now that she has already confirmed that things are getting serious, she has to take on some other family duties as well. And she seems to be loving it all, with a brand-new role to play.

Karrueche Tran was seen happily dancing to a tune with Snow in her arms. “Lil grandma @karrueche,” read a message along with that video, showing how much she’s immersed herself in the Sanders family. On an even more heartwarming note, Snow was also all smiles in that embrace, as they grooved to a song together. Snow sure is taking a liking to his potential future-grandma! Tran seemed like a natural as well, truly having a great time with the baby. Who, of course, is an absolute darling in Coach Prime’s eyes.

Karrueche Tran has been by Deion Sanders’ side through some of his most important moments. From hospital visits to game days, she’s shown her support in ways that speak louder than any announcement. Be it hospital trips or game days, Tran is subtly telling the world where her commitment lies. Though they still haven’t hard-launched their relationship, what’s brewing between them is clear as the sky. Deion Sanders’ family can’t help but go with the flow, as the world picks up on the pairing. “Where Karrueche at?” a fan asked Shilo Sanders out of the blue recently. Coach himself cannot help but gush about his ‘rumored’ girlfriend.

Deion Sanders turned up to publicly compliment Karrueche Tran

Tran just scored a major achievement in life, for her work with her beauty brand, Ruechi. She won the Excellence Artist Award at the 2025 Black Beauty Roster, and it’s a win the entrepreneur holds close to her heart. “Thank you for pushing for inclusivity and visibility in the beauty industry and championing for black businesses,” she wrote in a message on Instagram. Deion Sanders couldn’t help but express his pride in Karrueche Tran’s success. “BEAUTIFUL & CLASSY, one of my Favorite Colors,” he wrote in the comments.

“Okay Papa Sanders, I see you!” wrote one fan in a reply to his message. The two are testing the waters when it comes to making their relationship public. Though Tran and Sanders are not naming names, we know what’s up based on these cues. It’s serious between these two, and with time, we might be getting to see more of the pair together. Quietly, they are making some bold statements about the status of their relationship.

Deion Sanders has always put his family first. That’s a non-negotiable, and something Karrueche Tran has to bond with to seamlessly blend into it. If she’s got the approval from Snow, things might as well just be declared official between the two. She seems to be all in on striking a bond with the youngest Sanders, and that means the large but loving family is something she truly cherishes.
