Dion Sanders, known as «Coach Prime» of the University of Colorado Buffaloes, had a number of close people by his side when he had to undergo surgery to remove a tumor from his bladder, resulting in him being cancer-free. During this difficult period, the former NFL and MLB athlete sparked rumors about his relationship with actress Karreuche Tran, who supported Dion during the operation. So is it true — is Karreuche Dion’s girlfriend?
Below, you will learn all about Dion’s alleged relationship with Karreuche and his past marriages.
Dion, who is currently not married, was previously married to his ex-wife Carolyn Chambers from 1989 to 1998. The coach’s second marriage was to his ex-wife Pilar Biggers-Sanders from 1999 to 2015.
Coach Prime and Karreuche are reportedly dating. However, they have not yet made any public statements about the nature of their relationship. The actress, who is 20 years younger than Dion, appeared in an emotional clip from the 2025 video series «For Your Glory», - which documented Dion’s bladder cancer diagnosis and surgery.
«We're dealing with bladder cancer», - Karreuche said in the clip, holding back tears. «They're removing his bladder, and they’re going to create a new bladder from one of his intestines». She added that removing Dion’s bladder was the «best» option for him «because it completely removes the cancer so it doesn’t come back, because it was close to his muscle».
Dion has a total of five children, whom he shares with both of his ex-wives. He shares his older children, Diondra and Dion Jr., with Carolyn, and his other children, Shilo, Shedeur, and Shelomi, with Pilar.
Shilo and Shedeur have followed in their father’s footsteps, playing football at the University of Colorado, where Coach Prime works.
No, Coach Dion is considered cancer-free now that his bladder has been removed. He announced this positive news at a press conference in July 2025. There, he urged everyone to «get checked» by medical professionals, adding: «Because if it wasn’t for me getting tested for something else, they wouldn’t have stumbled upon this»
