Karrueche Tran is an award-winning actress and producer best known for her role as Virginia Loc in the TNT series Claws.

She has won numerous prizes for her work on the web series The Bay, including two Daytime Emmy Awards in a row. She also plays Vivian Johnson in the series.

Tran is a person of mixed ethnicity.

Tran was born in the United States on May 17, 1988, in Los Angeles.

Cindy Adamson, her mother, is Vietnamese, while DeVon Minters, her father, is African American.

The actress, who is of Jamaican descent, was reared in Los Angeles by her Jamaican godmother and cousin’s sister.

Her father is from England, and she has a younger maternal half-brother.

Tran discussed her familial origins and how she cherished growing up in an ethnically mixed family with Sway Calloway on Sway in the Morning in September 2017.

She claimed to be half Vietnamese and half Black, and that she was reared by her godmother since birth.

Tran also mentioned that having parents of diverse ethnicities aided her in accepting different cultures.

“It made me become so diverse and just accept…different cultures and just being you know unique,” the actress remarked.

Her social media accounts reflect her closeness to her family. She frequently posts images of herself with them and shows her gratitude.

For example, on Mother’s Day in 2020, Tran shared a photo of herself with her mother and godmother, writing that she was fortunate with two mothers.

She Disclosed Her father is a lesbian.

In a June 2015 interview with MadameNoire, the Claws actor confessed that her father is gay.

She claimed she was aware of her father’s orientation before she was in middle school.

“I sensed something was up,” she continued, “and I’m not sure how I knew or even knew what homosexual was.”

Regardless, Tran did not see her father in a different way, despite the fact that others did.
