Dads don’t always wear their emotions openly, but Deion Sanders proves they shine when it matters most. His ex-wife, Carolyn Chambers, sees this clearly and isn’t shy about sharing it.
Recently, she shared the unbreakable bond between Sanders and their daughter, Deiondra, at a time when it’s needed most.

Deion has always been a hands-on dad, balancing tough love with unwavering support. He’s guided Shedeur and Shilo through the NFL Draft frenzy, praised Bucky for keeping the Buffs solid, and celebrated Shelomi’s debut at Alabama. For Deiondra, he’s been a steady presence through her challenging pregnancy and personal struggles.
During the season, he took a break before the Texas Tech game to visit her and his grandchild, a moment he shared on Instagram.
“Lord we thank you! Continue to bless and watch over @deiondrasanders & Baby Que. #CoachPrime,” Deion said.

Carolyn reposted it on her account.
Even decades after their split, they still care for their flock. Carolyn is often seen at Buffs’ games alongside Deiondra and Deion Jr. She is also aware of and very appreciative of Deion’s contribution to her kids’ lives.
Her latest Instagram story featured a throwback photo of Deion cradling a young Deiondra.
“BEING A DADDY’S GIRL IS KNOWING THAT DADDY ALWAYS HAS YOUR BACK; YOU MAY NOT SEE HIM, HEAR HIM, OR UNDERSTAND HIS OPERATION BEHIND THE SCENES… BUT HE’S THERE, PROTECTING YOU AND COVERING YOU IN PRAYER,” the caption said.
Deiondra’s relationship with fiancé Jacquees has been rocky lately. Rumors flared when they unfollowed each other online, fueled by her feud with DeJ Loaf over their joint album with Jacquees. Deiondra vented on X, claiming the pair faked a romance to boost sales. She also shared that she’s been excluded from their work.
In a March 21 interview on “Way Up with Angela Yee,” she confirmed they’re still together.
“It’s in God’s hands […] we’re trying to figure it out,” Deiondra said.

She brushed off breakup talk but admitted the situation was not very smooth.
Through it all, Deion’s been her rock. Deiondra hinted he had early doubts about Jacquees, and now she’s rethinking his advice. Still, he supports her fully, happy when she is, and ready to lift her when she’s down. Carolyn’s tribute underscores this, reminding everyone that Deion’s always in Deiondra’s corner, no matter the spotlight’s glare.
