Deion Sanders hasn’t quite come to terms with his upcoming role as a grandfather. His daughter Deiondra Sanders’ pregnancy announcement in March came as a surprise to him. “I haven’t digested that whole thing yet,” Sanders confessed.
He expressed difficulty in embracing the idea, admitting that nothing about becoming a grandfather excites him at the moment. However, he expressed pride in his daughter for waiting until her thirties to embark on this journey.
“I’m proud of my baby that she’s at least waited until her thirties to give me this gift of life,” Sanders shared. “But I want to make sure she’s straight emotionally and psychologically as well.”
Deiondra’s announcement on Instagram was heartfelt, shedding light on her reasons for embracing motherhood. She emphasized that her pregnancy wasn’t planned but seen as a divine blessing, despite the challenges she has faced.
“I’m not having my baby to keep a man,” she asserted. “I am having my baby for all the times I was told I wouldn’t be able to.”
