As per TMZ, Pilar learned about her imminent separation from Deion while visiting their site. Throughout his playing career, Deion was never shy about speaking his mind, but for some reason, he lacked the guts to tell his wife that he wanted a separation.

She was "absolutely devastated and startled when she discovered that Deion had declared his choice, by himself, to break their marriage," according to Pilar's attorney, Larry Friedman, who spoke with TMZ. According to Pilar, not all bridges between her and her ex-partner have been burned.

She stated:

"I am open to positive communication, and I'm open to him having a positive influence on his children's lives."

Since divorcing the NFL athlete in 2013, Pilar Sanders has not remarried.
