- NFL. Shedeur Sanders makes father Deion Sanders 'disappear' from his present to succeed Cleveland Browns
Deion Sanders, head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes and former NFL star, has once again found himself in the public spotlight-but this time, it's not for anything on the football field.
The 57-year-old coaching legend is rumored to be romantically involved with actress and model Karrueche Tran, a connection that's generating buzz across social media and entertainment headlines alike.
The speculation around their relationship began gaining traction in early 2025, when Sanders and Tran were seen hand-in-hand leaving a Los Angeles restaurant. The images quickly circulated online, prompting fans to question whether the pair were indeed dating.
Neither has officially confirmed the relationship, but their continued appearances together are fueling ongoing rumors.
Tran, 36, is no stranger to the limelight. She rose to fame through her role in the television series Claws and previously made headlines for her relationship with singer Chris Brown. With a strong following of nearly 14 million on Instagram, she's well known for her style and commanding presence in pop culture. Her recent appearance at the 2025 Met Gala added even more fuel to the fire.
Met Gala appearance steals spotlight
Tran's dramatic look at this year's Met Gala captured the attention of fans and fashion critics alike. Dressed in a striking black gown with avant-garde accents, her look quickly went viral online.
What made the timing more interesting was that the Met Gala happened the same week as Shedeur Sanders' NFL Draft celebration-a moment Deion notably missed, leading some to speculate that his absence might be related to his time spent with Tran.
Adding to the intrigue, Sanders' ex-wife Carolyn Chambers subtly showed her for the possible new relationship. She reshared one of Sanders' motivational quotes on Instagram, referencing faith and personal strength-interpreted by many fans as a gesture of approval for his rumored new chapter.
Online reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, with many fans complimenting Tran's poise and applauding Sanders for his apparent happiness. While public figures often guard their personal lives closely, this pairing seems to have struck a chord with both sports and entertainment fans.
As neither Sanders nor Tran has addressed the rumors publicly, the exact nature of their relationship remains unknown. Still, the attention they've received-especially after Tran's headline-making Met Gala appearance-suggests this rumored romance will remain in the public eye for the foreseeable future.
Only time will tell whether this high-profile pairing becomes official, but one thing is certain: all eyes are on Deion Sanders and Karrueche Tran.
