Shedeur Sanders is bringing laughs even during serious times. During a recent FaceTime with his father, Deion Sanders, Shedeur teased that things have been âgoing downhillâ since Karrueche Tran started showing up around the house.
Family Jokes Amid Recovery
The playful moment comes as Deion, the Colorado Buffaloes head coach, recovers from his 16th surgery, a procedure to remove blood clots from his left leg. Karrueche, who has been by Deionâs side during his recovery, quickly fired back, saying,
âThat is not true⌠that is not true.â
Fans quickly picked up on the humorous exchange, which highlights the Sanders familyâs dynamic, even amid medical challenges.
Karrueche Speaks on Relationship
Although neither Deion nor Karrueche has officially confirmed a romantic relationship, Tran opened up about her happiness during an appearance on the DOPE Networkâs âWhatâs Next w/ J. Ryanâ podcast. She shared candidly about supporting Coach Prime, saying she wouldnât âwaste my time if the love wasnât good.â
The pair first sparked dating rumors in July 2025, when Tran was seen by Sandersâ side during his recovery from bladder surgery, which was performed to prevent the spread of cancer. Since then, speculation about the couple has only intensified.
Family and Fans React
Shedeurâs joke shows that even in challenging times, humor can be a source of relief. Fans flooded social media, praising the Sanders family for keeping spirits high and supporting each other through recovery. The playful moment also gave insight into the bond between Deion, Shedeur, and Karrueche.
