Deion Sanders’ His 57th birthday is now something very special: the football legend had his first grandchild on the same day!
During a press conference on Friday, the Colorado football head coach announced the heartwarming news that his daughter, Deiondra, gave birth to a baby boy on his birthday. Sanders was overjoyed, calling it a true blessing.
“That’s how good God is,” Sanders said. “God chose my birthday for the birth of my first child, my daughter, and made me a grandfather for the first time. Can you understand how beautiful and blessed that is?”
Sanders, who has five children, also took time during the press conference to send Deiondra a loving message: “God bless you, Deiondra. I love you, little girl.”
Deiondra, who has yet to publicly comment on the birth, announced in March that she was expecting a baby with R&B star Jacquees. The couple got engaged during their baby shower last month.
While Sanders’ new grandson is undoubtedly the best birthday present he could ask for, his team also celebrated him with serenades at practice. Coach Prime, however, had a different birthday wish.
“My wish is that you all become professionals,” the Hall of Famer told his players. “Not just professional athletes, but professionals in life. Wonderful fathers, wonderful men, and wonderful women too.”
