‘She Do Look Thicker’: Deiondra Sanders Confirms Deion’s New Girlfriend Karrueche, But Fans Can’t Stop Zooming in on Her Physique

Karrueche Tran has seemingly found her place in Deion Sanders’ family, and the internet is in shambles after learning her new nickname.

The “Claws” actress, 37, and Coach Prime, 58, have been rumored to be dating since February. Buzz about their supposed romance heated up this summer when Tran appeared in a YouTube video documenting Deion’s cancer journey. She sat by his hospital bed in tears as he prepared to have bladder surgery.

Neither the model nor the retired NFL superstar has spoken about their alleged relationship. However, an Instagram Story posted to the account of Snow Sanders, the Hall of Famer’s grandson via his daughter Deiondra Sanders, seemingly verified the love connection for some.

‘Tell Me That Ain’t Dirty!’: Internet Erupts Over Deion Sanders and Karrueche Tran Dating Buzz But It’s Her Connection to His Ex-Fiancée Tracey Edmonds That Has Everyone Talking

In the seconds-long clip, Tran is seen holding Deiondria’s 1-year-old son as she gives him a kiss on the cheek and waves during a playful moment of dancing. “Lil grandma” was written over the video, sending the internet into a frenzy.

“Chile she just confirmed if you know you know,” wrote one person in the comments of The Shade Room’s repost. “Oh yeah she kissed that baby! She’s definitely in the family!” echoed a second onlooker.

Elsewhere in the comments, a follower remarked, “Lil grandma could never be my title, sugar baby is more like it.” Several others agreed that Tran was “trying to get to the bag by any means possible.”

Tran is used to dating high-profile men after public relationships with R&B singer Chris Brown and former New York Giants player Victor Cruz. She does not have any children of her own.

Others made observations about Tran’s figure. “Wait, did she get a BBL??” asked one user. A response read, “She do look thicker.”

Another person wondered, “Where did all those big hips come from?” Show wore a white see-through crop top, that gave the appearance of wet T-shirt, with a black black pants.

Tran has always been petite and rather slim despite any allegations in the media. In January, she told Ebony magazine, “I’ve never had a surgery… I’m trying to stay as natural as possible. If I did do any type of surgery, it probably would just be a boob job.”

For now, fans seem resigned to her physical evolution, crediting it to genetics. But not everyone was impressed—some took a shadier route after what appeared to be confirmation of her relationship with Deion.

One commenter quipped, “I still can’t believe he traded Tracey Edmonds in for her.”

Deion was previously engaged to Tracey Edmonds, the ex-wife of musician Babyface. The pair was together for 11 years before they split in 2023. During the relationship, Tran starred on the TV producer’s show “Games People Play” in 2021.

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.
