Karrueche Tran stayed by Deion Sanders' side during life-saving surgery. Here's more about her
Tran appeared in a YouTube video titled 'For Your Glory: (Part 1),' which documents Sanders' treatment around his surgery, and includes the 'Claws' actress visibly emotional while at the hospital as she details what Sanders is being admitted for. The video – which includes Tran holding Sanders' hand on the way into the procedure – was shared on Monday.
The pair haven't confirmed or denied the nature of their relationship, and CNN has reached out to representatives for both seeking comment.
Tran, meanwhile, has a life and career beyond the internet's curiosity about her and the football player turned college football coach:
Tran's first listed acting gig on IMDb dates back to 2014, and she has enjoyed roles in TV shows like 'The Last O.G.' and 'Bel-Air' along with films like 'The Nice Guys' and 'Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.'
But it was playing the pivotal character Virginia on the popular series 'Claws' opposite Niecy Nash-Betts that made her a more in-demand actress.
From 2010 to 2024, Tran starred as Vivian Johnson-Garrett on the digital series 'The Bay,' which has won more than 20 Daytime Emmys, according to the show's site. She took home the Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a daytime fiction program in 2021.
This year, she appeared in three episodes of the Paramount+ with Showtime series 'The Chi' as Zuri.
Some may recognize Tran for having had a tumultuous relationship with singer Chris Brown from 2011 to 2015.
Soon after their split, she appeared on the OWN reality series 'Iyanla: Fix My Life' and talked about the betrayal she said she felt after discovering that Brown had fathered a child with another woman.
The host, Iyanla Vanzant, coached her into revealing that she felt devastated because 'the man I loved hurt and betrayed me.'
Tran has also dated NFL receiver Victor Cruz and Quavo, a rapper with the group Migos.
Fans are curious as to the timeline of when Tran and Sanders became close.
The outspoken former athlete's last known relationship was with Tracey Edmonds, who is the former wife of music superstar Kenny 'Babyface' Edmonds and was with Sanders for over a decade.
The pair were engaged for four years, but announced their split in 2023.
'We have mutually decided that it is best for us to move forward in life as friends and have made this decision with love in our hearts, respect for each other and appreciation for the time we've shared together,' they said in a joint statement posted on social media.

Shedeur Sanders was bumping to his own song before Browns debut
Shedeur Sanders is set to make his Cleveland Browns debut on Friday night. It's been a bit of a tumultuous offseason for the former Colorado quarterback and son of Deion Sanders. He was widely projected as a first-round pick but after reportedly struggling in the pre-draft interview process, he slid all the way to the fifth round. Sanders was the second quarterback the Browns drafted after they took Gabriel in the third round, but with Gabriel and Kenny Pickett injured, Sanders is set to start Cleveland's preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers. As he took the field in the NFL for the first time, Sanders was certainly projecting confidence. While walking out of the tunnel, he was jamming to his own debut single, "Perfect Timing." It's certainly a bit of a bold move for Sanders, who faced criticism from anonymous NFL scouts, coaches and executives ahead of the draft for his perceived arrogance. But despite what was surely a frustrating offseason for Sanders, he seems ready ahead of his first start. It's a big opportunity for Sanders, who currently sits at No. 4 on the Cleveland quarterback depth chart behind Joe Flacco, Pickett and Gabriel. He'll hope to prove the doubters wrong as he attempts to secure a spot on the Browns' 53-man roster.

DISNEY: Disney (DIS) reported better-than-expected Q3 adjusted earnings per share, though revenue was slightly below the Street, with its Entertainment segment reporting a 6% increase in direct-to-consumer revenue. The media giant reported 183M Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions, an increase of 2.6M year-over-year, with just Disney+ subscribers increasing 1.8M to 128M. Looking ahead, Disney also increased its FY25 adjusted earnings guidance, with the company adding that it will no longer report paid subscribers and ARPU metrics, arguing that such metrics have become 'less meaningful' to evaluating the performance of its businesses. Of note, however, Disney's ESPN said it will launch its new previously announced direct-to-consumer streaming service on Thursday, August 21, bringing the full suite of ESPN networks and services – within an enhanced ESPN App with new, personalized features and functionality – 'directly to fans.' Timed for a marquee stretch of live sports programming across ESPN platforms, the launch of ESPN DTC coincides with the start of the college football and NFL seasons, US Open tennis, international soccer, women's college soccer, volleyball, field hockey, and more – with the start of the WNBA playoffs, PLL playoffs, and NBA and NHL seasons, as well as UFC and WWE events just around the corner. Designed to give fans more choice and flexibility, ESPN DTC will offer two plans, including an unlimited plan for $29.99/month that gives fans access to all of ESPN's linear networks – ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNEWS, ESPN Deportes – in addition to ESPN on ABC, ESPN+, ESPN3, SECN+, and ACCNX, covering 47,000 live events each year, on-demand replays, studio shows, original programming, and more. Bundling opportunities for the ESPN unlimited plan with Disney+ and Hulu include a special offer at launch for $29.99/month for the first 12 months. In more ESPN news, ESPN and the NFL have reached new licensing agreements, extending ESPN's NFL Draft rights and, separately, adding NFL programming and content to ESPN's upcoming Direct-to-Consumer service, as well as to Disney+. The agreement also includes the opportunity for fans to bundle ESPN's DTC service with NFL+ Premium. Beginning with the 2026 NFL Draft, Disney+ and Hulu will also stream ESPN, ABC, and ESPN Deportes' trio of Draft presentations. All offerings will be available on ESPN's DTC service. Additional alternate NFL Draft presentations from ESPN will be available on the same streaming platforms, as will a new daily show dedicated to the NFL Draft. The new show, which will air on ESPN2 most days, will launch the day following the Super Bowl and continue through that year's Draft. More highlights: ESPN and ABC will each produce telecasts for Rounds 1-3 on Thursday and Friday-a staple of ESPN's presentation since 2019. On Saturday, ESPN will continue to air Rounds 4-7, with ABC simulcasting the network's coverage. ESPN can add other alternate telecasts across streaming platforms for Rounds 1-7. Premier football shows, College GameDay and NFL Live, will continue to be on-site from the NFL Draft. ESPN Radio will continue its live broadcast of the NFL Draft. Separately, ESPN and the NFL have reached an agreement to expand the NFL experience across ESPN's DTC service and Disney+. The agreement includes rights for additional NFL content for ESPN as well as robust interactive features to deepen the experience for fans. ESPN's DTC offering will also stream select out-of-market NFL preseason games during the 2025 and 2026 seasons. ESPN will also be able to sell and bundle NFL+ Premium, the League's DTC service that launched in 2022, with ESPN's DTC service, which gives fans the ability to watch NFL Network and NFL RedZone through the NFL+ Premium offering. Additionally, ESPN and WWE, part of TKO Group Holdings (TKO), announced a landmark rights agreement as ESPN platforms, including the new ESPN direct-to-consumer streaming service, will become the exclusive U.S. domestic home of all WWE Premium Live Events, including the two-night cultural phenomenon WrestleMania, starting in 2026. This deal makes ESPN home to the highest-profile WWE events of the year. The ESPN DTC service will stream all WWE PLEs annually, in their entirety, with select simulcasting on ESPN linear platforms. Marquee PLEs include WrestleMania and SummerSlam – both two-night events – and Royal Rumble, Survivor Series, Money in the Bank, among others. WWE will continue to produce all PLEs.

Paramount Class B shares began trading August 7 on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the new ticker symbol 'PSKY.' Following the news, Barclays lowered the firm's price target on Paramount Skydance (PSKY) to $8 from $12 and maintained an Underweight rating on the shares.
