"You keep on pushing through" - Deion Sanders' ex-wife Pilar Sanders, shares her wise thoughts on tackling setbacks in life
Deion Sanders' ex-wife Pilar Sanders has taken to social media to share a very thought-provoking message with the thousands of people who follow her online.
In a recent Instagram post that Pilar Sanders shared, she talked about how one should continue facing all the hurdles and challenges in life. It is because as you continue living life, people who were your enemies before turn into your biggest fans.
She also hinted that both her sons Shedeur and Shilo Sanders, who both play for Colorado under Deion, follow the same mindset. And this is why they have so many people cheering for them to this day. The clip then goes on to share a few photos of Shedeur playing for the Buffs and her cheering for the team during their 2023 college football games.
"What an amazing day. Let me just tell you something. You keep on living okay. No matter what trials and tribulations come your way, you keep on pushing through. Because I'm telling you, life will make your sworn enemies your fans. Yes your footstools baby...And your baby's fans okay. They'll be cheering for them. Hello somebody!!!" Pilar said in the video.
Deion Sanders' ex-wife Pilar Sanders is a celebrity in her own way. She is an actor, model, influencer, and gym instructor. On Instagram alone, she boasts a massive following of 189k followers.
Right from her high school days, Pilar has been making a name for herself in the world of fashion. But later on, she shifted her focus to the movie industry and was a part of many TV shows such as Walker, The Jamie Foxx Show, Veronica's Cabinet, and many more including a few films of the 90s as well. That is when she met Deion Sanders.
Both Pilar and Coach Prime were married for 14 years from 1999 to 2013. When Deion Sanders announced his intentions to part ways with Pilar, her attorney Larry Friedman told ABC News that this decision left her devastated.
"She is heartbroken about the current situation, and she's been a faithful and devoted wife to Deion Sanders, and she's been a very supportive wife to him. And she is committed to their marriage and would like to make it work. So she's very patient and intends to work on their marriage" Friedman said.
However, things didn't work out between them and they eventually separated from each other. Pilar has remained unmarried since then, while Deion Sanders has moved on in his romantic life with long-time girlfriend Tracey Edmonds.
