“He’s old enough to be her father”: Fans roast Deion Sanders amid Karrueche Tran dating rumors

The buzz around actress Karrueche Tran and NFL legend–turned–Colorado coach Deion Sanders started when she was spotted holding his hand during his cancer surgery recovery. That emotional show of support instantly set off dating rumors, with many fans convinced the two were more than just friends.

While Deion hasn’t said a single word about it, the speculation only grew louder as Karrueche continued appearing by his side, turning a private moment into one of the internet’s favorite talking points.

Karrueche Tran finally confirms she’s dating, but doesn’t drop names

Things escalated when Karrueche finally spoke out on the What’s Next with J. Ryan podcast. She admitted that she is “dating” and “having fun,” but she didn’t name names. Of course, the timing couldn’t be ignored. With her already being spotted during Sanders’ health battle and their closeness in those hospital clips, fans didn’t need much more to put two and two together.

Even without Sanders openly confirming, the internet seems pretty convinced that Karrueche’s mystery man is Prime Time himself.

Fans can’t stop clowning her for dating famous men and the massive age gap

As soon as her comments spread online, social media lit up with reactions, some playful, some shady, and some downright brutal. Two themes quickly emerged, fans believe Karrueche has a “celebrity-only” dating pattern, and many just can’t get over the major age gap between her and Sanders.

One user summed it up perfectly, tweeting: “Good for them... How many more famous individuals is she gonna date before she gets older?” That line captured what a lot of people were thinking, that Karrueche seems to always be linked to well-known men, whether it was in Hollywood, music, or now the NFL world.

Then came the age-gap commentary, with one fan writing: “but why? he’s old enough to be her father.” That reaction struck a chord, because it wasn’t just a one-off variation of the same comment flooded timelines.

For some, the romance feels sweet and supportive. For others, the fact that Deion is 57 while Karrueche is 36 is a little too much to overlook.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Twitter without a few stray jabs. One fan roasted Sanders’ look, writing, “he looks like he’s been huffing silver spray paint, like I REFUSE to believe that is his ACTUAL face hair color!!!!” While another joked: “Have fun massaging that strong foot,” referencing Sanders’ well-documented health issues.Still, not everyone was trolling. Some fans cheered the couple on, dropping comments like “Dayum Deion” and “shout out to the big dog!” reminding everyone that plenty of people actually support the unexpected pairing.Between the trolling about her dating history, the jokes about Sanders’ age, and the memes about his appearance, this new romance has already become a pop culture spectacle. But for every critic, there’s a fan hyping them up. Until Deion himself confirms or denies the rumors, the internet is going to keep roasting, speculating, and posting memes at lightning speed.Also read - “Trapped you with a baby”: Fans react to Travis Hunter becoming a dad before rookie debut
