Deiondra Sanders is weathering quite a storm in her life. Amidst relationship troubles with fiancé Jacquees, she is focusing on her role as a first-time mom. Deion Sanders, however, is a true pillar of support for his daughter. Time and again, he’s shown that he’ll be there for her as she weathers this rocky patch of her life. Coach Prime, off the field, takes off his coaching hat and steps into his grandpa duties seamlessly. After all, this is his first grandchild and it’s clear as day how much he loves the little one.
Rumors are swirling that Deiondra and Jacquees are ending their relationship after she publicly called out rapper DeJ Loaf for allegedly meddling in their affairs. The drama escalated with rising tensions and emotional reactions from those close to them. Things seem to be settling down now, with Deiondra focusing on her press run for the Relationships Matter live event, which took place a few weeks ago.
So far, she has opened up about her relationships and journey into motherhood. Deiondra also advocates for more awareness around postpartum depression, a noteworthy cause that deserves more attention. Deion Sanders is proud of everything she has done so far, and makes it a point to show that pride.
Coach Prime shared a story on Instagram, which featured Deiondra and her son, Snow. Deion’s message read, “Proud of u Baby!” Simple and effective, the doting father continues to be by his daughter in her time of need. As a new mother, Deiondra found it difficult to keep her relationship steady.
After Jacquees and DeJ began working on their album, ‘F— a Friend Zone 2,’ the dynamic between Deiondra and her fiancé soured. She took to X and wrote in a tweet that began it all, “People gotta fake a relationship to sale albums. Stop asking me why I’m not around. I am not allowed to be around them cause Dej would feel uncomfortable if his fiance there.” Though DeJ said that she had no issues whatsoever with Deiondra, the latter stands firm on her narrative.
Rumors have been doing the rounds about Deiondra calling off her engagement. She has not confirmed a breakup and was seen wearing the ring in recent appearances, like the podcast. She hasn’t given an exact answer about where the relationship stands, but said that they’re working to “figure it out.” Though Jacquees isn’t completely absent from his son’s life, it seems that Deiondra is doing the heavy lifting.
Deiondra Sanders will always have time for her son
Deiondra is making sure to be an involved parent even in her busy life, according to a recent tweet. She wrote, “I take Snow everywhere with me. Only time he can’t come is when I go out the country but that’s cause he doesn’t have a passport yet. I be missing him so much when I’m not with him. I love being able to take him everywhere with me. A true blessing!”
Deiondra often shares warm moments with Snow on social media. He accompanied his mother to her media appearances in the past few weeks. On their lazy days too, Deiondra spends some quality time with him.

But still, her father is proud of her braving those dangers, and of the mother she is now.
