The news about Deion Sanders’ eldest daughter, Deiondra Sanders, being pregnant hit everyone differently, especially her father and brothers. While Coach Prime is calm and chill with the news, her brothers Deion Sanders Jr., Shilo Sanders, and Shedeur Sanders didn’t feel the same because she kept the news from them until it was revealed in a controversial manner. But peace is made and everyone is grateful that Deiondra Sanders is happy with the blessing that she’s been praying for. 

Previously, Deiondra Sanders joined Coach Prime and Junior in Atlanta at a KFC outlet as captured by Well Off Media. In the video, she showed them the picture of her baby’s sonogram pictures and invited Junior’s hilarious prediction. He said, “It’s definitely not going to be tall” given that her boyfriend Jacquees is 5’5. But weeks later, Deiondra Sanders has something to feel proud of. 

Deiondra Sanders took to her Instagram to give her fans an update on her pregnancy. At 18 weeks and five days, she undergoes an anatomy scan of her first baby with Jacquees and she’s very excited with the result. She posted a video of her watching her 10-ounce baby’s movement and captioned, “[The Doctor] even said the arms are measuring LONGER so we may have a tall baby y’all!

While the world is happy about Deiondra Sanders’ pregnancy news, another thing that took the hype to another level is the complications that surround her pregnancy. Her doctor said she couldn’t have a baby, but she went on to defy all odds to give hope to other women and called her baby a “divine blessing.” Even Deion Sanders appeased his sons about her pregnancy, saying, “You got to understand that it could be a blessing. She’s been praying that one day she could be a mother. And God gave it to her.” But how does Coach Prime feel about becoming a grandfather?
