Deion Sanders, the NFL Hall of Famer and cultural icon, recently found out he was the middle school crush of former WWE superstar Brie Garcia, and his reaction was pure gold.
The moment unfolded on a recent episode of Tubi’s talk show We Got Time Today, where Brie appeared alongside her twin sister, Nikki. Co-host Rocsi Diaz playfully set the stage, saying, “I heard that you guys had a very interesting high school crush.”
Brie quickly corrected the timeline, clarifying, “It was actually middle school,” before dropping the bombshell: her crush was none other than Deion Sanders himself.
Deion, also known as “Prime Time,” paused for a moment before breaking into a smile. “You should have told me that!” he said, standing up to give Brie a hug. But before letting the conversation continue, Sanders needed confirmation. “Is this play play or is this real?” he asked.
Brie reassured him it was 100% real, even sharing a personal anecdote. She revealed that as a young girl, she owned his Dallas Cowboys jersey. However, that didn’t sit well in her household, as her family were die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fans… longtime rivals of the Cowboys. Brie joked that her admiration for Deion could have gotten her kicked out of the family.
The playful exchange showcased Sanders’ charisma and Brie’s endearing humor, giving fans a wholesome, unexpected moment that’s sure to stick with them.
Deion Sanders remains a larger-than-life figure in sports and pop culture, and his genuine reaction to Brie’s revelation reminds fans why he’s so beloved. Meanwhile, Brie Garcia and her sister Nikki continue to entertain with their vibrant personalities and ability to keep things real.
