Deion Sanders, their father, led a double life as an athlete. The Hall of Famer is the only athlete to have appeared in both the World Series and the Super Bowl. During his 16-year career, the 55-year-old went on to win two Super Bowl rings.

Deion Sanders Twin Daughters – Meet Heaven And Nevaeh Sanders
Deion Sanders has twin daughters, Heaven and Nevaeh Sanders. But they aren’t his biological kids. In fact, it is his mother who adopted them.
Heaven and Navaeh Sanders were seen repeatedly with Deion on his social media sites, and the father of five biological kids has shown equal love to his foster kids.
Nowadays, Deion doesn’t seem to post much about the twins and probably wants to give more privacy to the girls growing up, as Deion has previously shown how protective he can be towards his daughters.
In a video posted by his daughter, Shelomi Sanders, on her Instagram handle, Deion can be seen lecturing her about how unsafe it is to stay out late at night—a day before Shelomi had returned home at 11 pm, which prompted Deion to ask her about her whereabouts.
The twins were last seen on Deion’s social media handle on January 19, 2019, as they helped their father to wash up their German Shepherd Nae Nae. Before that, they would be seen alongside TJ, the nephew of Deion Sanders, who lives with his grandmother and the twins.
From what it appears, Heaven and Nevaeh seem to be away from social media sites. Or maybe they are present but seem to enjoy living away from the public frenzy that might be caused due to their presence.
Previously, the twins were also seen rooting for their older brother Shedeur Sanders, the second child of Deion Sanders from his second marriage. Twins also have four more siblings from Sanders’s previous two failed marriages.
Meet Heaven Sanders, One Of The Twin Daughters of Deion Sanders
Heaven Sanders is one of the twin daughters of Deion Sanders. Deion introduced Heaven and Nevaeh to his fans through his tweet on February 20, 2011.
Well, it’s tough to keep up with Heaven on social media as she doesn’t appear to have any known public profiles. We can only know about her through Deion’s social media handles.
The 15-year-old was previously seen in her cheerleading outfit alongside her twin Nevaeh. She was cheerleading for Truth Sports, the organization founded by her father in Dallas, Texas that strives to provide higher education to the youth.
On September 13, 2015, Deion posted a sweet photo of Heaven hugging her grandmother, Connie Knight who fostered and took care of her. Heaven and her twins get along well with all their siblings and especially with Shelomi Sanders.
The three even tried to raise a turtle together, but unfortunately, Deion Sanders wasn’t pleased with the idea of his daughters and didn’t let them keep it as their pet.
Meet Nevaeh Sanders – The Other Twin Daughter of Deion Sanders
Like her sister, Heaven Sanders, Nevaeh Sanders is also a cheerleader for Truth Sports. And it’s not only cheerleading skills that are common between the twins.
Nevaeh also doesn’t have any social media handles where we can get more information about her. Previously, the twins were featured in the Sanders family show, Deion’s Family Playbook.
The show aired on Oprah Winfrey Network premiered on March 1, 2014, and has three seasons, with the last episode airing on June 27, 2015. And though it has been more than seven years that the last episode aired, Deion still hasn’t confirmed whether the show is one for good or will return.
Nevertheless, the show helped Deion show his family side, which had been under a lot of scrutinies after his messy divorce from his second wife. Many fans of the show thoroughly loved the twins with many even demanding to see more of them on the show.
Who Is The Twins Mother?
The twins, Heaven and Nevaeh Sanders, mother’s identity remain unknown. The two were fostered by Connie Knight, mother of Deion Sanders, and live with her in Dallas, Texas.
Connie Knight, who is well into her 70s, probably wanted to give the twins a better life and have a companion for herself. With Deion living in Jackson State for work, the twins are the ones who live with Connie.
And the Sanders family has done their best not to let the twins feel depraved of their mother’s love.
From celebrating Halloween together to attending college games with their brother or raising a pet with the family, Heaven and Nevaeh are vital members of the Sanders family.
Deion Sanders Baby Mama Piller Sanders And Carolyn Chambers
Deion Sanders baby mamas are Piller Sanders and Carolyn Chambers. However, both these women are not the mother of twins, Heaven and Nevaeh.
