Dion Sanders Wife Learns of divorce Online

Deion Sanders’ wife, Pilar, called out-of-bounds on the former NFL star when she recently discovered he’d announced his decision to divorce her…on TMZ.com.

Larry Freidman, Pilar’s lawyer, told the tabloid website that his client was “heartbroken and surprised  when [she] read…that Deion announced his decision, on his own, to end the marriage.”

So far, no negotiations on a divorce settlement have been made between Pilar and Deion. But Pilar says she fully intends “to protect herself and her children,” which leads some to believe this divorce is going to get expensive—at least for Deion.

On the flip side, Pilar also reportedly says she doesn’t totally believe the union is over, claiming that Deion’s recent decision was due to a “temporary lapse of judgment” and that she’s confident he “will come to his senses and return to his family as he has in the past.”
