NFL Star Deion Sanders’ wife, Pilar, claims 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. However, 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.

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.”

Adding to the controversy, Deiondra Sanders, the 19-year-old daughter of Deion Sanders from a previous relationship went in on her step-mom Pilar Sanders on twitter, claiming Pilar has been a terrible wife to her dad. According to TMZ, before Deiondra unleashed on this epic twitter rant, she apologized to her father — claiming Deion “is going to be very upset at me 4 he always takes the higher route.”
