Karrueche Tran Says Older Men Are ’the Way to Go’ Amid Deion Sanders Dating Rumors

Karrueche Tran has co-signed women dating older men as rumors that she’s in a relationship with Deion Sanders continue to circulate.

The actor and entrepreneur was first seen by Sanders’ side in a vlog posted last month, where the Colorado Buffaloes coach prepared for bladder removal surgery. Both Tran and the twice-divorced Sanders have leaned into the dating rumors in interviews and on social media, although they haven’t formerly announced that they’re an item.

This week, TMZ ran into Tran at LAX, where she played coy about the rumors but called Sanders a “great person” and “great father.” She also confirmed that Coach Prime is “healthy” and “cancer-free” after his medical procedure.

Tran also joked, “Get out of my business,” when asked about her response for those wondering about her relationship with Sanders. But the socialite also accepted the possibility of dating an older man. “You know men mature later than women,” she said. “Older’s the way to go.”

Sanders hasn’t been shy about his appreciation of Tran and recently called her “beautiful and classy” in her Instagram comments after she received the Black Beauty Roster Excellence Artist Award for her beauty brand, Ruechi.

Last month on podcast What’s Next w/ J. Ryan, Tran said that she’s “having fun” in her dating life without naming the former NFLer.

“I’m at a point in my life like I know what I want. I’ve dated a lot. I’ve done a lot. I did this. I did that. Young, old,” Tran said. “So, if I wasn’t happy and content and feeling good in my situation, I’m not wasting my time. I don’t I don’t have the time for it. I’d rather be at home. I’m in a good place.”
