Karrueche Tran and Victor Cruz Heat Up The ‘Gram With Romantic Birthday Photos: ‘I Love You To Bits’

Retired NFL star Victor Cruz turned 32 on Sunday (Nov. 11), and his girlfriend Karrueche Tran posted a handful of romantic photos to celebrate.

One shows the happy couple standing in a garden while Karrueche rocks white pants, red shoes and a leopard skin colored top. Cruz, meanwhile, sports a pair of red checkered pants, a jean jacket and some throwback Nikes.

In the second photo, the two are on the red carpet dressed to the nines, and in the third they’re embracing each other in a close-up shot. Other images show the couple lounging at an event and having a night out somewhere.

The longtime model also posted a brief message to Cruz in the caption space. “Happy birthday. I love you to bits,” she wrote.

And the way it seemed, it didn’t take long for people to say how much they loved the photos, plus the fact that Karrueche and Victor are together.

“You two are just so cute,” someone wrote. “Like, y’all just make everybody smile.”

“I love you guys,” a second person wrote. “Get married and have beautiful babies.”

There were others who seemed to bring up the “Claws” star’s relationship to Chris Brown, whom she dated for years until the R&B star fathered a loved child in 2015. They also had an extremely contentious relationship that often played out in the press and on social media.

“Happiness and peace of mind looks good on you,” wrote one of Karrueche’s followers.

“You look so happy, boo. I’m so happy for you. So well deserved,” wrote another.

The actress and Cruz began dating in 2017.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
