Coach Prime and Kaurreche are rumored to be dating. However, they haven’t publicly commented on the nature of their relationship. The actress, who is 20 years Deion’s junior, appeared in an emotional clip from the 2025 video series “For Your Glory,” which documented Deion’s cancer diagnosis and bladder surgery.
“We are dealing with bladder cancer,” Karrueche said in the clip while fighting back tears. “He is having his bladder removed, and they will create a new bladder with one of his intestines.” She added that Deion’s bladder removal was “the best” course for him “because it fully removes the cancer to ensure it doesn’t come back, because it was close to his muscle.”
Deion has five children in total, whom he shares with both of his ex-wives. He shares his eldest kids, Deiondra and Deion Jr., with Carolyn and his other children, Shilo, Shedeur and Shelomi, with Pilar.
