Joined by her longtime friend, actress and singer Christina Milian, the pair engaged in a candid chat with host J. Ryan about dating—especially the challenges of navigating relationships in the entertainment world. As the conversation turned toward Tran’s personal life, Ryan asked directly if she was dating. Tran didn’t hesitate before smiling and confirming, “Yeah, I’m dating.”
The room erupted in laughter when Ryan teased her recent interest in football, with Milian chiming in playfully, “Touchdown!” Although Tran kept the details private, she made it clear that she’s happy. When asked if she was having fun, she responded warmly: “If I wasn’t having fun, I wouldn’t be in it.”
Later in the interview, Tran shifted from playful to reflective, explaining how her perspective on relationships has matured over the years. “I’m at a point in my life where I know what I want,” she shared. “I’ve dated a lot. I’ve done this, I’ve done that. Young, old. And so, if I wasn’t happy and content, and feeling good in my situation, I’m not wasting my time.”

She emphasized that peace of mind is her priority, joking that if she’s not happy in a relationship, she’d rather be home in bed by 9 p.m. with her own routine. “So yeah, I’m in a good place,” she concluded with a smirk.
Although Deion Sanders’ name never came up during the podcast, fans have continued to connect the dots between the two. Rumors about their romance first surfaced in July 2025, when Tran was seen in footage from Sanders’ son’s media company, Well Off Media, sitting by his side during his hospitalization and surgery.

That appearance fueled curiosity, and Sanders was later pressed about the relationship on former NFL player Asante Samuel’s Say What Needs To Be Said podcast. Rather than confirm or deny, Sanders dodged the question with a smile and blamed poor connection for cutting the conversation short.

Tran’s love life has been in the public eye before—she famously dated Chris Brown from 2011 to 2015 and was briefly linked to Rob Kardashian. Sanders, on the other hand, ended his engagement to TV producer Tracey Edmonds in late 2023 after more than a decade together.
For now, Tran seems content to keep the details of her love life private while soaking up the joy of the moment. What’s clear is that she’s focused on happiness, peace, and having fun—no matter who she’s spending time with.
