NFL Hall of Famer and college football coach Deion Sanders is receiving love and support amid a very personal health battle—and one unexpected person by his side has fans buzzing: actress and model Karrueche Tran.
Speculation about a potential romance between the two began swirling after Tran appeared in an emotional 18-minute documentary released by Deion Sanders Jr.'s media company. The video, filmed in May and published on July 28, offers an intimate look at Sanders’ journey through a bladder cancer diagnosis and major surgery. At one point, Tran is seen sitting close beside Sanders in his hospital room as he prepares to have his bladder completely removed.
The 37-year-old actress becomes visibly emotional in the footage, explaining that doctors would be constructing a new bladder using part of Sanders’ intestines in order to prevent the cancer from returning. At 57, Sanders underwent the life-altering surgery under the care of Dr. Janet Kukreja, who shared that the former NFL star is now considered “cured.”
While neither Sanders nor Tran has confirmed a romantic relationship, their close presence and emotional connection in the documentary have stirred speculation online. Fans are taking note of the timing and intimacy of Tran’s involvement during such a vulnerable chapter of Sanders’ life.
Karrueche, best known for her work on Claws and her high-profile past relationship with Chris Brown, has typically kept her private life low-key in recent years. Sanders, currently preparing for his third season as head coach at the University of Colorado Boulder, has been married twice before and is no stranger to the public eye. But his possible connection with Tran adds a surprising twist to his comeback story.
Whether they're just close friends or something more, one thing is clear: Tran’s presence during Sanders’ surgery speaks volumes about the bond they share.
As Sanders recovers and returns to the field, all eyes will be on what unfolds next—both in his career and personal life.
