Deion Sanders’ Girlfriend Karrueche Tran Has a Baby on Her Mind, But One Personal Hurdle Has Her Thinking Twice

Karrueche Tran is opening up about her hopes for motherhood and the painful comments she’s received about having children. Her candid admission comes nearly a year after confirming her relationship with Deion Sanders.

Karrueche Tran and Deion Sanders have been the topic of conversation ever since confirming their relationship nearly a year ago.

The public has weighed in on their age difference, with some even questioning Sanders’ health.

But the comments that seem to hit closest to home center on pregnancy and having children. Those remarks have added another layer of scrutiny to their relationship.

During a vulnerable conversation with co-host Jason Kennedy on their podcast, ‘Pop Exchange,’ a discussion about Jamie Foxx welcoming a baby at 58 led Kennedy to ask Tran the obvious question: Does she want to be a mom someday?

“Absolutely, I would love to be a mother. Um, I love kids,” she explained.

She went on to address the people who constantly rush her decision to have children. Explaining that they have no idea what she’s navigating privately and that their unsolicited remarks can be hurtful.

“I want to have a kid, but I am figuring my business out, and there’s a potential possibility that I can’t even have kids. So why are you even suggesting it? It’s just like nasty, you know what I mean? Like, I think it’s just so rude and inconsiderate,” she said.

As the conversation continued, the ‘Claws’ actress shared more about where she stands emotionally.

She acknowledged that turning 38 last May has her seriously considering whether motherhood will be possible for her.

“That’s like a big thing that I’m going through right now of like being 38 and coming to the realization of if I’m going to have kids or not,” Tran said.

Kennedy could relate to Tran’s situation, briefly sharing his wife’s experience with IVF. Hearing about their journey, along with Foxx’s, appeared to offer Tran some encouragement.

“You know, if we decided to have a child, that gives us hope, right?” she said.

Coach Prime’s health challenges have also been a topic of public conversation, adding another layer to the attention surrounding building a family.

Still, Tran’s comments on “Pop Exchange” made it clear that she’s considering motherhood as she navigates this next chapter of her life.

The two lovebirds made their relationship Instagram official around Christmas 2025.

Tran also appeared in one of Sanders’ son Shilo Sanders’ Christmas vlogs, giving fans another glimpse of the couple spending time together during the holiday season.

With Christmas right around the corner, perhaps fans will get a glimpse of the couple in matching pajamas.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
