As far as family is concerned, and more so in a family like the Sanders, everything is the subject of scrutiny. Remember the debut game with the Colorado Buffaloes against the TCU Horned Frogs at Amon G. Carter Stadium, because of which Coach Prime was in the headlines? This was not the only thing that caused a lot of buzz, and that was the presence of his ex-wife, Pilar Sanders, in the stands.

Pilar, Deion’s ex-wife, had a seat in the game alongside the three daughters, supporting her sons and dad. This was a big deal, not just because this was Deion in his first season as the head coach of the Buffaloes, but because Pilar’s presence added another layer to the already intense spotlight on the Sanders family. Pilar wasn’t passive enough to sit and watch, she shared pictures from the game on Instagram. Some of the fans were excited while others were confused. Some of them did not expect her to be at the game, given the rocky history she has had with Deion.

Deion has always been one big personality in and out of the locker rooms. This man’s personal life and especially the two marriages he has had has often been in the news. His first marriage with Caroline Chambers brought two children, Deiondra and Deion Sanders Jr., these two have also created their niche in the society. Deiondra is a public relations professional who has worked with several Forbes 500 companies while Deion Jr has ventured into the fashion and music business and is even an album producer.

Pilar Sanders is more than just an ex-wife

Pilar Sanders is not just known as Deion’s ex-wife, she is an achiever in her own right. She is more than just a fitness guru and an actress; she has been a great mother to her children. Despite the drama with Deion, Pilar’s relationship with her sons has remained strong.

But will she be at the season opener? It is still unknown, but if one is to base it on how Pilar acted in the past, then she will not allow anything to stop her from helping and supporting her boys. But even when you won’t see her jumping up and down, you’ll know Pilar is there. She’s a mom on a mission, and that mission is to see her sons succeed: whatever it takes!

Now that the Buffs get ready to kick off the season, one thing’s for sure: Shilo and Shedeur will have all the support they need: on-field from their father and off-field from their mother. As complex as the Sanders family may seem, they have learned how to put aside whatever issues they have and stand up for their kids.
