Deion Sanders ends interview abruptly after Karreuche Tran question amid rumors he's dating Chris Brown's ex

Deion Sanders was in no mood to discuss rumors that he is dating Karreuche Tran after being grilled about his love life during a podcast appearance this week.

The Colorado football coach and NFL legend, 57, has been linked romantically to Tran, 37, ever since they were spotted on a lunch date together earlier this year.

And following his revelation last week that he recently had his bladder removed after being diagnosed with cancer, Sanders' apparent new flame was seen by his side at the hospital in a vlog from the day of his surgery.

The video - shared last week on his family's YouTube channel, 'Well Off Media' - captures him sitting in a hospital room before undergoing the procedure with an emotional Tran right next to him.

The stunning actress and model, who previously dated Chris Brown , was visibly upset in the clip as she explained what Deion was about to go through and why.

Her appearance at the hospital only fueled speculation that she is dating Sanders, who hilariously ended an interview early this week when asked about Tran. 

During an appearance on the 'Say What Needs To Be Said' podcast with former NFL player Asante Samuel, the two-time Super Bowl champion was asked about the nature of their relationship after she was seen by his side in the vlog.

'Don’t kill the messenger,' Samuel said at the end of the interview. 'Everyone seen Karrueche Tran by your side during your hospital visit. Everyone wants to know what that friendship is.'

Sanders then jokingly pretended his connection was cutting out in a bid to dodge the question, before closing his computer and ending the call.

Samuel burst into laughter before going on to praise him for his leadership and wisdom.

Tran's most famous previous relationship came when she began dating R&B icon Brown back in 2011, before they briefly split when he reconnected with his ex-girlfriend Rihanna a year later.

In 2013 the pair rekindled their romance for another two years, only for it to end on a sour note when Brown was accused of sending her threatening text messages and voicemails.

A judge granted Tran a five-year restraining order against him in 2017 after she shared evidence of the messages in court, while she also alleged that he punched her in the stomach twice and pushed her down the stairs.

She also briefly dated Migos rapper Quavo, which came before a longer-term relationship with former NFL star Victor Cruz from 2017-21.

As for Sanders, he has been married twice to first wife Carolyn Chambers, with whom he had daughter Deiondra and son Deion Jr, before tying the knot again with Pilar Biggers-Sanders - the mother of sons Shilo and Shedeur as well as another daughter in Shelomi.

Following his divorce from Pilar, Deion was also previously engaged to Tracey Edmonds before they called it off in 2019.

In a press conference with his doctor last week, Sanders shared that he is now cancer-free after having his bladder removed earlier this year.
