Well, it’s no secret—Coach Prime’s ex-wife, Pilar Sanders, has always been fiercely protective and supportive of her three kids, Shedeur, Shilo, and Shelomi. Pilar’s influence on their lives is evident in both the big and small moments. Remember when Shilo had surgery after his arm injury? Pilar was right there, ensuring his recovery journey was smooth. And for Shelomi? Pilar even considered uprooting her life in Alabama to be closer to her daughter in Boulder, cheering her on in her basketball journey.
That’s just how moms roll—they go all out for their kids! So, with Pilar on an exciting new chapter in her life, it’s no wonder her older son, Shilo, decided to chime in with a heartfelt gesture.

On January 19th, Pilar posted a jaw-dropping piece of her artwork on Instagram, captioned, “A few Commissioned Pieces from my Éclat Noir Series ⬛️ #éclatnoir #loveart #pilarsandersart #piart2022.” Her signature black canvas, adorned with mesmerizing white bubble patterns, has the kind of energy that makes you feel like you’re gazing into galaxies. The post wasn’t just about art—it turned into a moment of family love when Shilo Sanders stepped up with a touching response.
The Instagram video showed Shilo embracing his mom with a warm hug, and to make the moment even sweeter, his song Games from his debut album, Hate 2 Love, played in the background. The lyrics, “Let me keep it real, I’m not tryna play,” seemed to sync perfectly with Pilar’s cosmic masterpiece.

Fans weren’t exactly surprised by Pilar’s artistic flair—this wasn’t her first rodeo. She’d previously showcased her talent by painting a portrait of her son Shedeur, capturing his features with dark blue, grey, and black tones enhanced with touches of gold. The pièce de résistance? She added a sprinkle of VVS diamonds to Shedeur’s teeth, giving the painting a bold, luxurious edge. But that wasn’t all—Pilar also sketched Shilo and Shelomi in her portraits, proving that her creativity knows no bounds.
Most recently, she posted another masterpiece, an acrylic painting titled INTERSTELLAR: The Blue Space In Between, which left fans in awe. Pilar’s Instagram is practically a gallery of her stunning works, showcasing a talent that’s as vast as the universe she paints.

But Shilo wasn’t just hyping his mom—he was making waves of his own. His debut album, Hate 2 Love, is proof that talent runs in the Sanders gene. Featuring 15 tracks like Games, GLE, and IDK, the album is already gaining traction on platforms like Spotify and YouTube. For longtime fans, this might feel like a flashback to Coach Prime’s own album, Prime Time, released over two decades ago.
When Shilo dropped his album, Pilar couldn’t contain her excitement. She proudly posted a screenshot of the album cover with a caption brimming with emojis: “FINALLY!!!!!! I’M SO PROUD OF YOU SON! THIS IS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.” She even reposted Shilo’s Instagram photo with the caption, “Heck Yea!” adding fuel to the fire of celebration. And when Shilo humorously admitted to using AI for some of his lyrics, Pilar was quick to chime in with laughter and support: “😂😂😂😂😂 use your resources son 😂🤣 gotta love the transparency ♥️ your ENTIRE ALBUM IS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 we have looping nonstop 💃🏽💃🏽🕺🏻🕺🏻💃🏽💣💣💣💥💥💥💥🤯.” Now, that’s a mom who’s all in!
While Shilo’s off-field exploits are grabbing headlines, his football career is still a major part of the story. The Buffs’ safety is gearing up for the NFL Combine, even as critics question whether he’s done enough to secure a spot on an NFL roster. His college stats? 184 total tackles, 136 solo, six interceptions, and one of which he returned for a touchdown.
