Does Deion Sanders Have a Girlfriend? All You Need To Know About 37YO Karrueche Tran

Coach Prime has spent the last year dodging health scares and media critics. But apparently, he might also be dodging Cupid’s arrows. Yep, between drawing up plays for Colorado and flashing that trademark smile on the sidelines, Deion Sanders has fans asking the age-old offseason question: “Who’s he dating?” Well, we might finally have the answer.

Now, before you start picturing Sanders in a rom-com montage—cue the slow-motion walk through Folsom Field—let’s start off with what we know. One Hollywood star has come up and revealed she’s dating Deion Sanders. Subtly. Let’s just say…Deion must’ve been taking notes out of Bill Belichick‘s playbook.

Yep, 58-year old Deion Sanders is dating 37-year-old Claws actress Karrueche Tran. Sanders, fresh off beating bladder cancer and dodging “what’s going on” questions by joking about a bad connection, is back in play both on the field and maybe in love.

Now, she didn’t explicitly reveal she’s dating Deion. But the pieces all fall together. She chuckled her way through the question on the What’s Next with J. Ryan podcast, admitting she’s “dating” and “having fun.” But it’s the timing that gave it all away. These comments comments dropped not long after videos showed Tran by Sanders’ side during his recent bladder surgery, turning a casual “I’m in a good place” into a headline-fueled talking point.

Let’s give you a little more context. Tran showed up in the Sanders family’s own media clips during his bladder removal recovery this summer in which she was holding his hand. She was also the one pressing doctors on recovery windows, nodding through medical jargon, and tearing up in moments that clearly weren’t staged. So the rumours have been ongoing for a while now. Her appearance on the podcast just confirmed them.

And it’s not casual either. “I’m at a point in my life, like, I know what I want. I’ve dated a lot, I’ve done a lot. I’ve did this, did that. Young, old. And so, if I wasn’t happy and content, and feeling good in my situation, I’m not wasting my time,” she revealed on the podcast.

And also, this news pops up almost two years after the split. He and longtime partner Tracey Edmonds announced their split and called off their engagement in December 2023, and Deion’s dating life has been a widely discussed topic ever since. Well, no more ambiguity. So who is Karrueche Tran, and what is she known for?

Everything you need to know about Karrueche Tran

You don’t need to hover to Google and look her up, we’ll tell you all you need to know about her. Karrueche Tran, 37, wears multiple hats: actress, entrepreneur, and social media mainstay. She first grabbed attention through her high-profile romances, but she’s since carved out her own lane in Hollywood, building credibility with acting roles and some successful ventures.

Tran’s breakout came on TNT’s Claws, where she anchored a central role, but her turn as Vivian Johnson on The Bay earned her industry validation. That validation includes a Daytime Emmy in 2021, by the way. She’s not just sticking to the big screen or TV roles, either. She’s also dipped into producing and landed some pretty cool brand partnerships. Basically, she’s built a whole career that goes way beyond just showing up on camera.

In late 2024, Tran rolled out her own skincare line, RUECHI Beauty. And she’s been going all-in on it ever since. Think wellness retreats, pop-ups, the whole vibe. It’s clear she’s carving out a lane that blends her Hollywood chops with her business hustle.

Oh, and her past relationships? Rather…notable. Her dating history has always raised eyebrows. From the highly publicized ups and downs with Chris Brown (2011–2015) to a long run with ex-NFL receiver Victor Cruz (2017–2021). Yeah, this is going to be a fun storyline.
