Both posted about the celebration on Instagram. Deiondra's social media post featured emotional pictures from the party, along with close-up shots of her sparkling round diamond ring.

"I am so ecstatic. I was not expecting this at all. I don’t even gotta say much cause we both know what’s up. ????," she wrote on Instagram on Monday, July 15. "I know this took a lot of courage, honesty, letting go of fear, epic nerve and self assurance. I am so proud of you and I will be here every step of the way to help you become the man God intended you to be??"

Jacquees, whose real name is Rodriquez Jacquees Broadnax, posted a long letter dedicated to his now-fiancée. "Took so much courage and faith," he posted on Instagram on Sunday, July 14.

"I want you to know you can count on me and count on me forever," he concluded the letter. "I will always try my best to be the best for you and my family at all times... I wanna seal the deal will you marry me Deiondra Sanders?"

Jacquees also shared intimate pictures of him placing the ring on Deiondra's finger, plus a video of the moment he popped the question.

"I haven't digested that whole thing yet," the future father-in-law and grandpa-to-be Deion, 56, told PEOPLE in April of becoming a first-time grandfather with Deiondra's baby on the way.

"I'm proud of my baby that she's at least waited until her thirties to give me this gift of life," Deion added of his oldest child. "I'm happy about that, but I want to make sure she's straight emotionally and psychologically as well."
