Family

Shannon Sharpe is shedding light on his brother Sterling's Hall of Fame induction ... and despite all the headlines he made earlier in the week, he says it was "the proudest moment of my life."

Sharpe posted a carousel of photos from his trip to Canton, Ohio -- which ended with them becoming the first sibling duo to ever receive gold jackets.

"But long before that moment, two brothers beat the odds," he wrote. "Two brothers graduated grade school. Two brothers graduated college. Two brothers made it to the NFL. Two brothers built beautiful families. Two brothers stayed close. Two brothers trusted God. Two brothers gave back. Two brothers led with love."

Deion Sanders has worn plenty of hats -- and helmets -- throughout his career, which has seen him go from playing professional football to coaching collegiate athletes on the gridiron.

The thing is, the sports figure's been able to maintain a family of his own while managing his football career, which has seen him progress from fatherhood to taking on the responsibilities of a grandfather.

We're going to take a look at the lives of the football coach's five kids and see how they've each managed to bring something special to the former cornerback's life.

Sanders' life as a father began when he was married to his first wife, Carolyn Chambers, and they welcomed a daughter named Deiondra, who works in sports management, in 1992.

The football coach's eldest child gave birth to a son named Que in August 2024, and he told People the feeling of becoming a grandfather was "wonderful."

Sanders and Chambers' second child, Deion Jr., was born in 1993 ... and although he spent time on the gridiron in his college years, he's since gone into a career in fashion, founding streetwear brand Well Off in 2016.

Deion and Carolyn -- who tied the knot in 1989 and remained together for nine years -- ended their marriage in 1998.

Sanders moved on from his first marriage when he married influencer Pilar Sanders in 1999, and they started a family of their own with the birth of their first child, a son named Shilo, in 2000.

Deion and his second wife welcomed another son, Shedeur, in 2002 ... and Pilar gave birth to a daughter, Shelomi, in 2003.

Sanders and Pilar remained together for another 10 years before they decided to end their marriage, which was officially dissolved in 2013.

The coach has since fielded rumors about a potential relationship with Karrueche Tran, although neither one has made an official statement about their supposed connection.

Sanders has been in the athletics world for much of his life, and it looks like he's gonna be sticking around for a little bit longer, because his three youngest children have all embarked on careers in sports.

Shilo and Shedeur both played college football, and they spent a few seasons being coached by their dad at the University of Colorado-Boulder -- how's that for keeping it in the family?!

Shilo was signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, for whom he plays as a safety, and Shedeur, who plays quarterback, was picked by the Cleveland Browns.

Kevin Mares -- a Bad Bunny fan who traveled down to Puerto Rico to see the artist -- has been shot and killed.

We spoke with Kevin's mother, Sandra, through a friend acting as a translator ... and, she confirmed to us her son was shot early this morning following his attendance at a pool party in La Perla, PR.

Sandra tells us her son was a massive Bad Bunny fan ... and, he planned this trip with his girlfriend and their friends about a year ago -- with the group eager to watch the show on Sunday. They are no longer attending the show in light of the shooting.

Kylie Jenner might be all grown up now, but her sisters remember when she was just a kid hanging out on the playground ... and, they've got pics to prove it!

Brady Kiser told cops he realized something was wrong on the evening his son, Trigg, drowned in their backyard pool when he saw his dog acting strangely, according to new documents.

The police released a redacted report about the death of the 3-year-old Friday ... and, in it, they say Brady told an officer his son went outside to play after he finished eating.

Cops say Brady told them he was busy with his infant and lost track of Trigg ... until he turned to look outside and saw his dog standing over the water.

2:24 PM PST -- Kourtney Kardashian listened to fans outraged that she'd take her toddler Rocky onto a boat with no life jacket -- 'cause she just posted that she got her little boy a brand new one!

She added she hopes this incident makes "other mommies aware of the dangers of certain types of boating without a life vest."

Kourtney Kardashian is in some rough waters with fans after she posted a snap of her 21-month-old son Rocky Thirteen on a boat without a life vest.

Check out the pic ... she's lounging on the back of the vessel with her little one cuddled up in her lap. It's a sweet pic -- but fans can't help but notice Rocky's got no flotation device on all while the boat is in motion!

Just check all the comments -- fans are begging KK to put a life jacket on her bundle of joy ... and in disbelief that she would post such a photo.

Kaylee Goncalves' father is talking to politicians about taking away commissary funds for murderers like Bryan Kohberger ... and, in his ideal world, that money would be repurposed to pay for the killer's execution.

We caught up with Steve Goncalves Friday ... and, he tells us he's working with two Idaho legislators to make convicted murderers like Bryan Kohberger reimburse taxpayers for the investigation costs of their crimes through their prison commissary funds.

The Goncalves family is leading the charge ... consulting with Xana Kernodle's family on occasion.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner's mother is speaking out for the first time since her son drowned at a beach in Costa Rica.

Malcolm-Jamal's mom continued ... "He was a kind, loving man with a huge heart for humanity. He wanted all to be aware of their inner strength and that they could succeed, accomplish and transform. This was his latest mission and work, transformation, in order for you to be fully present in your life."

Brandon Blackstock’s brother is pouring his heart out on IG the day after Brandon's death -- and it’s a gut-wrenching tribute that’ll hit you right in the feels.

Alongside an IG collage of family pics, Shelby Blackstock shared that words couldn't even begin to capture the huge hole left by Brandon's passing -- as an irreplaceable part of their family as a brother, father, grandfather, and son.

Shelby -- a racecar driver -- opened up about how much his late brother had taught him and the countless memories he'd carry forever, especially now that they won’t get to make any more.

Blackstock's got his Uggs on ... bringing his leg up on a bench Captain Morgan-style. Savannah's totally beaming in the pic -- and, from the outside, it seems like nothing's wrong. She captioned the picture, "Back home to the mountains & my daddy."

Hulk Hogan's wife -- not his daughter -- is the only one who can make the decision on an autopsy for the WWE legend, TMZ Sports is told.

The District Six Medical Examiner in Largo, Fla., said on Friday that despite Brooke Hogan's wishes for a probe into her father's body ... it'll ultimately be Sky Daily's choice.

For now, the official said, they have been given no indication Sky is seeking a report.

Savannah -- the daughter of Brandon's other ex-wife, Melissa Ashworth -- wrote she and Quentin had been "keeping a couple of sweet surprises."

Brooke Hogan's glad her father was there to walk her down the aisle before he tragically passed ... even though it was for a fake wrestling event.

It was all part of a storyline in which Brooke and wrestler Bully Ray were romantically involved ... but, since Hulk didn't walk her down the aisle at her own wedding, Brooke says she's happy she at least has this to remember fondly.
