Pilar Hopes That Deion Will, “Come to his senses and return to his family.”

Pilar & Their Children

Earlier this month, we reported that ex-NFLer, Deion Sanders, and his wife, Pilar, had filed for divorce. In a statement, Deion released a statement to the press explaining,

“Pilar and I have decided to end our marriage and move on to the next phase of our individual lives with mutual respect. We are friends and our top priority has and will continue to be the well-being of our children. We arrived at this decision prayerfully and carefully in order to pursue what is best for both of our personal interests.”

Fast forward to the present day and now Pilar is claiming that although Deion’s statement says that the decision was mutual, it was not. She says that he never even told her that he was filing for divorce. Shockingly, she shares that she learned about their separation via TMZ. Her lawyer, Larry Friedman, says that Pilar was,

“heartbroken and surprised when [she] read that he had announced his decision, on his own, to end their marriage… Pilar’s sole focus and top priority for the last 12.5 years has been her marriage and children. Based on recent discoveries, [Pilar] now realizes that Deion did not view their family the same way.”

Pilar and Deion still have not finalized a divorce settlement and, at this point, Pilar isn’t sure that they ever will. Sources say that she is not completely convinced that he will go through with the divorce. Part of her still believes that he will

“come to his senses and return to his family, as he has done in the past.”

Meanwhile, Wednesday morning, after the news hit, Deion tweeted the following:

We don’t know if this is a subliminal tweet or if it’s an innocent inspirational one. Regardless, these two have been married for 12 years and have 3 children together, so we definitely wish them the best (together or apart).
