Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sander's daughter Deiondra Sanders has been helping her fiancee Jacquees promote his album "Baby Making" and documentary "Call Me Que" just weeks after giving birth. On Wednesday, the couple both attended the documentary's premiere in Atlanta.

While being interviewed on the red carpet before the premiere, Jacquees was enthusiastic about the documentary:

"I feel super, super good. I've waited my whole life for this," Jacquees said. "You know I've been filming myself on camera since I was nine years old.
"So, I knew one day I'd be here doing this, I'm just happy that we're here doing this and it's at Atlantic Station, one of the dopest spots in Atlanta to watch movies so I thank God, Jesus for allowing me to do this."

How Deiondra Sanders changed Jacquees' life

Jacquees has been open about his struggles with alcoholism and after he got engaged to Deiondra Sanders in July, he admitted in a heartfelt Instagram story that his fiancee had "saved his life" from addiction.

“A lot of people don’t know that you really saved my life… I was an alcoholic for years… I didn’t realize it… I was fighting it, a hard battle but I always knew I could do it if I wanted to but I needed a little more motivation,” Jacquees wrote.
"When you came to ATL Station and got me from the bar from being there for 12 hours and I’m all cut up and hands bleeding, arms skint up and just being an a*****e."

The couple gave their fans a peek into their lives as they prepared to be parents and Deiondra highlighted how supportive Jacquees was during her difficult pregnancy.

During an appearance on "Super Star TV Online" in November, Jacquees broke down how he struggled to work on his alcoholism issues after his fiancee, Deiondra Sanders helped him through the most difficult stage.

"On my break, I was really having to get myself together personally," Jacquees said. "You know I've been sober for nine months, no liquor, you feel me? So I've been doing all that, so, that time period I was just getting myself together. You know I recently got engaged, so next year I'm gonna get married." (3:48)

Jacquees and Deiondra Sanders have continued to give fans access to their journey as an engaged couple and parents on their various social media platforms highlighting both their shared and personal struggles.
