Deion Sanders and Karrueche Tran are couple goals. The NFL legend and “Claws” actress recently made their relationship Instagram official after dating for years.

The Colorado Buffaloes head coach opened up about Karrueche on son Deion Jr’s “Well Off Media” YouTube vlog on Tuesday.

Deion, 58, and Karrueche, 37, enjoyed a vacation getaway in St. Croix with family and friends.

“She’s sweet as sugar,” Deion said about Karrueche. “That brown bag of sugar that we grew up with,” he said, referring to Domino brown sugar.

“You’re that sweet, babe. You look for a lot of folks, especially your family, but you make certain I’m straight — like everything on point. You make sure I got what I need, I got what I want, and I’m straight.”

Young women on social media fantasize about dating older men like Deion.

X.com user @AshNicoleMoss tweeted: “maybe i need to start dating 50+.”

Deion and Karrueche kept their romance under wraps for years – even as gossip bloggers spilled their tea.

Deion shut down questions about Karrueche during an interview in July 2025.

Karrueche never left Deion’s bedside when he underwent surgery to remove his bladder after his bladder cancer diagnosis.

“I don’t want to say how regular you are because you’re not regular, but down to earth,” Karrueche told Deion. “All these materialistic things and all these things you’ve experienced, you like your peace.”
