Karrueche Tran Stands by Deion Sanders' Side During 16th Surgery in 3 Years

As of October 8th, 2025, Deion Sanders, the head coach of the Buffaloes, has undergone his 16th surgery in the last three years. The latest procedure was to address blood clots in his leg, and his girlfriend, actress Karrueche Tran, was by his side throughout the ordeal.

Sanders' son, Deion Sanders Jr., documented the surgery in a YouTube vlog released on October 7th, 2025. In the footage, Tran is seen comforting Sanders and helping him prepare for the procedure. Sanders, also known as Coach Prime, has been open about his ongoing health struggles, revealing in July 2025 that he has bladder cancer and had his bladder removed.

Despite the challenges, Sanders remains positive, telling the camera that he has "never doubting God, never stressing, never second guessing." Tran, who has been romantically linked to Sanders since July 2025, has been a constant source of support, even inquiring about his future treatment requirements during a previous surgery in July.

The couple's relationship has been the subject of much speculation, with Tran subtly confirming their romance in August 2025 during a podcast interview. As Sanders continues to navigate his health issues, Tran's unwavering presence by his side has become a testament to their bond.
