Since then, everyone has wanted to know more about Pilar Sanders, what she does, and why she and Deion broke up.
Why did Deion Sanders and Pilar Sanders separate?
After 12 years of marriage, Deion Sanders and Pilar Sanders divorced in 2013. The two tied the wedding knot with each other in a lavish ceremony on May 21, 1999. Pillar was Deion’s second wife and they shared three children: Shilo, Shedeur, and Shelomi.
However, their relationship didn’t go very well. As the years passed by, they started having financial disputes and legal confrontations that eventually led to overpowering their perfect union. And as they found themselves engraved in legal battles over assets and a lot of mental stress, they decided to end their relationship and ultimately divorced in 2013.
After their divorce, the NFL star Deion Sanders got full custody of their three children. Things between them became worse when Pilar alleged that Coach Prime had punched and kicked one of her sons which turned out to be false. Therefore, she was ordered to pay $1 million to Deion for defamation.
It was also observed during the Collin County Court hearing that Pilar was acting very bizarrely. She even questioned the authority of the court as she isn’t part of the United States corporation. For this, she was sentenced to seven days of jail time for contempt of court.
Despite everything, the family doesn’t have any hard feelings against each other. Pilar Sanders regularly attends Deion Sanders’ games to watch her sons play and support them. She also brings along her daughter Shelomi with her many times.
