Karrueche Tran has seemingly found her place in Deion Sanders’ family, and the internet is in shambles after learning her new nickname.
The “Claws” actress, 37, and Coach Prime, 58, have been rumored to be dating since February. Buzz about their supposed romance heated up this summer when Tran appeared in a YouTube video documenting Deion’s cancer journey. She sat by his hospital bed in tears as he prepared to have bladder surgery.
Neither the model nor the retired NFL superstar has spoken about their alleged relationship. However, an Instagram Story posted to the account of Snow Sanders, the Hall of Famer’s grandson via his daughter Deiondra Sanders, seemingly verified the love connection for some.

In the seconds-long clip, Tran is seen holding Deiondria’s 1-year-old son as she gives him a kiss on the cheek and waves during a playful moment of dancing. “Lil grandma” was written over the video, sending the internet into a frenzy.
“Chile she just confirmed if you know you know,” wrote one person in the comments of The Shade Room’s repost. “Oh yeah she kissed that baby! She’s definitely in the family!” echoed a second onlooker.
Elsewhere in the comments, a follower remarked, “Lil grandma could never be my title, sugar baby is more like it.” Several others agreed that Tran was “trying to get to the bag by any means possible.”

Tran is used to dating high-profile men after public relationships with R&B singer Chris Brown and former New York Giants player Victor Cruz. She does not have any children of her own.
Others made observations about Tran’s figure. “Wait, did she get a BBL??” asked one user. A response read, “She do look thicker.”

Another person wondered, “Where did all those big hips come from?” Show wore a white see-through crop top, that gave the appearance of wet T-shirt, with a black black pants.
Tran has always been petite and rather slim despite any allegations in the media. In January, she told Ebony magazine, “I’ve never had a surgery… I’m trying to stay as natural as possible. If I did do any type of surgery, it probably would just be a boob job.”
For now, fans seem resigned to her physical evolution, crediting it to genetics. But not everyone was impressed—some took a shadier route after what appeared to be confirmation of her relationship with Deion.
