Jacquees and Deiondra Sanders have welcomed their first child together, a baby boy, who now shares the same birthday as her father Deion Sanders.

Deiondra took to Instagram on Friday (Aug. 9) with a few photos of her and the R&B crooner in the hospital, paired with a heartfelt message about her newfound motherhood.

“This journey has been long, but seeing your face, my sweet baby boy, made every moment worthwhile,” she wrote. “I am overjoyed to be your mom and cannot wait to share a lifetime of love and adventures with you. I love you so much Baby Que, I Love you so much Que.

Sharing the struggles she faced to have a healthy birth, she added, “Through every challenge—the fibroids, the threatened miscarriages, the shortened cervix, the cerclage, the myomectomies, the wisdom of age (keep it cute lol), placenta accreta and taking my entire uterus, the bed rest, and the prayers to reach 28 weeks—by the grace of God, WE MADE IT.”

Jacquees made a post of own on Instagram, crediting his son as the “biggest blessing to date” and expressing that he’s “in love” all over again.

“God I thank you MY BIGGEST BLESSING TO DATE,” he captioned a photo of him in scrubs after delivery. “Baby Que 8/9/24 9:57 a.m. ATL GA! Thank you Jesus. 6 pounds 13 ounces 18 inches.”

In another post of a sleeping Que holding his bundle of joy, he captioned it, “IM IN LOVE AGAIN,” with several heart and praying hands emojis. “Thank you @deiondrasanders,” he added.

Retired NFL star Deion Sanders also announced the arrival of his grandchild while in a press conference over the weekend.

“That’s how good God is, like God would choose me on my birthday, for my daughter, for my kids to have their first child, the first time I’m a grandfather, on my birthday,” he beamed to the media. “Do you understand how beautiful that is? How much of a blessing that is?”

Sanders is also preparing to become a father-in-law as Jacquees popped the big question to his oldest daughter last month, during their baby shower.

“She said YES!” Jacquees captioned a photo of him putting a ring on it while surrounded by family and friends.

The proposal came after the couple cleared up controversy surrounding what the baby’s last name would be.

In a vlog, Deiondra revealed that their son wouldn’t be a junior because she’s unmarried, therefore she’d give him both her and Jacquees’ last names — Sanders-Broadnax.

“I’m sorry. It technically can’t be a Jr. Sanders-Broadnax is not a Jr. That’s not happening, ’cause I’m not married,” she said at the time. “So my last name is going as well.”

However, all of that may now change as they await to jump the broom.
