The head coach of the Buffs, Deion Sanders, is renowned for his upbeat demeanor and deep spirituality. Recently, he kicked off spring practice by sharing Bible verses to motivate his players. It appears that his eldest daughter, Deiondra, shares his positive outlook and spiritual beliefs.
Deiondra, who is expecting a child with R&B singer Jacquees, has been documenting her pregnancy journey on Instagram. She frequently discusses the changes she’s undergoing and spreads words of encouragement, much like her father. One of her recent heartfelt posts dedicated to her boyfriend caught Deion’s attention, prompting him to leave a supportive note for Deiondra, which has garnered significant attention.
At 31 years old, Deiondra Sanders shared a series of photos expressing her excitement and affection for her boyfriend during his concerts in the Netherlands and Paris. Among these images was a heartfelt slide stating, “My Man has no idea how much I pray for him. His safety, his career, his happiness… everything.” Through this, she showcased her profound love and commitment to Jacquees.
Notably, her father, Deion Sanders, took notice and responded affectionately. “And y’all have no idea how much I pray for y’all. Especially Yo Lil Engine,” he commented. This touching remark elicited an “awww” from his daughter. Their close father-daughter relationship has long been evident, and the announcement of Deiondra’s pregnancy has only heightened public interest.
Recently, Deion Sanders has been juggling book tours and spending time with family. He even accompanied Deiondra for some ultrasound appointments, during which his protective fatherly instincts were triggered. In a playful manner, he laid down some guidelines for his pregnant daughter, advising her to abstain from alcohol, avoid clubs, and focus on preparing for motherhood. While initially feeling somewhat young to be a grandfather at 56, he has now fully embraced Deiondra’s journey.
Lately, Deion’s supportive comments on Deiondra’s pregnancy photos have warmed hearts. Earlier, when Deiondra referred to her pregnancy journey as a “beautiful blessing,” Deion responded with, “You gon’ show the world, huh.” This father-daughter duo has a history of sharing many such endearing moments. With a grandchild on the way and the task of building a championship team in Boulder, the Sanders family is entering an exciting phase.
