Deion Sanders’ Wife Pilar Says She Found Out About Divorce Online…

Dec, 28 2011 | Written by ATLien
It’s official Deion Sanders has filed for divorce from his wife Pilar Biggers-Sanders.

After denying divorce claims for months, Deion has finally publicly admitted that he and his wife are calling it quits after nearly 13 years of marriage.

The couple married in 1999 and have three children together.

Pilar, the wife of Pro Football Hall of Famer, said Tuesday that she didn’t find out about her husband’s decision to end their marriage until she read it online and she was shocked and heartbroken that Deion wasn’t even man enough to say it to her face.

Details below…

According to TMZ, Pilar’s attorney, Larry Friedman, says she was “heartbroken and surprised when [she] read … that Deion announced his decision, on his own.”

“Pilar’s sole focus and top priority for the last twelve and a half years has been her marriage and children,” he added.

“Based on recent discoveries, [Pilar] now realizes that Deion did not view their family the same way.”

Friedman would not elaborate on what the “discoveries” were.

The lawyer also said that Pilar has NOT negotiated a divorce settlement with the 44-year-old, but she fully intends to protect herself and their three children.

Last October, Deion issued a statement saying he’d filed for divorce, but then said he didn’t. On the flip side, Pilar confirmed that he did, and then Deion tweeted that he hadn’t. *sigh* (I know.. it’s confusing to me too.]

Just a few months after that catastrophe, Sanders made an “official” announcement Dec. 17th, stating:

“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 be able to pursue what is in both of our best personal interests.”

Pilar admits she’s still not 100% convinced the marriage is over and said she was “confident that he will come to his senses and return to his family as he has in the past.”

This is Deion’s second marriage. He was previously married to Carolyn Chambers, and they have two children together.

What do you think of Deion’s decision to tell the media of his divorce before he told his wife?

And on a random note… who remembers when Deion played for both the Atlanta Falcons AND the Braves?

  Well what goes around comes around….From what I have heard, Pilar and Deion’s first wife were friends. Then Deion and Pilar started messing around while Deion and his first wife got married.

  That’s a damn shame. Deion knows good and well that was a dirty ass move. He should have already told Pilar about the divorce filing, instead of her finding out through the Internet. That’s what real men do. If you want to leave ME, say you do to MY face and make sure I’m the FIRST person (next to you and God) to know about it. It’s easy. #Grown men making little boy moves

  Real classy move Deion! This new age stuff makes it so convenient now; had a girl I was working with e-mail the supervisor and tell her she wasn’t working anymore…so you quit through e-mails now from a job! Cowardly moves can’t face the heat…didn’t know they were having problems with the show and all being on a while back. I feel for the kids

  I remember when he played for the Falcons. I thought he was the finest player in the league.And he’s still an attractive guy.Even though I’ve always been an Eagles fan,I’d turn to the Falcons just to see Deion do that Dirty Bird dance.I think he got traded to the Cowboys and that idiot team wouldn’t let him dance in the endzone! BASTARDS!! I was SO mad.Thank God we have another of ATL’s most handsome players. Mike don’t need to dance…hell,Mike don’t even have to win! His beautiful skin and that smile keeps me cheerin’ him on.Thanks ATL!!

  Hell, anybody stop to think that he might’ve went to her already? Pilar isn’t the brightest bulb in the box.

  Too mcuh bitchassness on Deion Sander’s part!!
  
  His Character is really eff’d up to do that to someone that you love & care about.
  
  Just say what it is and move on.

  Probably one of the reasons why they are getting a divorce..bad communication is the number #1 killer in relationships!

  Depression is a terrible thing.. as we know Deion suffers from. I bet he has left her before.

  Damn that was my favorite couple of all time

  and it all falls down
- Really!!!
  
  I coulda sworn this year the infamous MediaFAKEout blog reported Deion being caught with a 19 year old groupie…with PICS of him and the groupie in bed?!?! Hmmmm…
  
  Well I wish her the best. She will have no problem picking up another baller…she’s beautiful!
- Kamalla
  
  Remember when he played for the Braves and the Falcons? Hell, I remember when his ass was trying to be a rapper!
  
  In any case, its sad when black love fails. I think Deon is just not the family and marriage kind of guy. He is a ho and leopards never change their spots. Lucky for Pilar she is still good looking enough to catch fresh meat.
  
  We will see both of them on the arms of newbies by Valentines’ day.

  @reita collins I am with you about our brother Mike Vick. That darn smile of his is worth a million dollars and I just love watching him with that darn football. Don’t let him out run another player……I be about to scream my lungs out.

  @ ddeendallas I’m with you. What goes around comes around. He was married when Pilar got him now she’s reaping what she sow. Pilar looked miserable on their show. Deion too tired to make love. That should have been her first clue he was tired of her & cheating. We all know Deion like nice things. Pilar is pretty. Deion’s ready for something or someone better & with a brain. I don’t feel sorry for Pilar. I feel sorry for all his kids.
- NicoleB
  
  @Ddeendallas YOU RIGHT!! YOURE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!
  
  And its more like he and Pilar were messing around when he was married to his first wife and Pilar moved to Dallas (Plano actually) and moved into a hotel very near to Deion’s then home. And pretty much was a stalker/mistress…and she got him. So sweetie the way you got him wasnt right. She’s got those 3 kids by him and possibly some other reality show (GOD I HOPE NOT) she’ll be fine.
- Angeleyez07
  
  Like they say…the way you got’em is exactly how you’ll loose’em. Sorry but I have no empathy for her. These mistresses will learn to stop trying to make another woman’s husband your own and expect different results. Pilar is arrogant like her ISH don’t stank. Hopefully this gives her a dose of humility. The only ones I feel sorry for are the kids. They are always the ones who suffer most in a divorce.
- Hot Caddy Girl
  
  That beotch got exactly what she deserved! Can’t stand her stuck up azz. What goes around comes around. He is on to the next!
- NicoleB
  
  I hope he didnt cheat on her and divorce is bad regardless but going into a marriage getting the person the wrong way doesnt always work out.
  
  If he cheated with you what makes you think he wont cheat on you?
- Ynit
  
  Don’t worry Pilar, believe you there are "Several Over The Top Ballers" waiting for you…..and besides Deion is a "Jerk" who’s caught up in his own "Self Righteous World"…Loser!!!
- D
  
  Interesting that you all assume the story is true that she "found out through the media."
  
  She and her reps are just trying to make him look bad. They are simply getting divorced, and divorce isn’t easy. Feelings get hurt, communications get skewed; let’s just pray everything ends amicably so that their kids will be cool.

  @ Salaam Akbar, I’m sorry but my husband and I have been together for 12 years and married for 3, and he only calls me BABY and I call him Boo. Sometimes I wonder if we remember each others real names lol. So yes, people in love, real love do go around calling their Spouses honey and Baby all day. 🙂
