Deion Sanders and his wife Pilar are calling it quits for real this time

After denying divorce claims in September, Deion Sanders has made it known that he and his wife Pilar are calling it quits for real this time. The couple has been married since 1999 and have three children together.Deion told TMZ, “Pilar and I have decided to end our marriage and move on to the next phase of our individual lives with mutual respect. We are friends and our top priority has and will continue to be the well-being of our children.”

 Pilar says the news of the divorce has been shocking. She does feel however,  that for the sake of their family Deion will come to his senses as this was just a "lapse of judgement". So far Pilar will be getting a $10M home for her troubles. Deion declines to speak to the media any further and wants to handle the matter privately.

If you remember correctly, Deion and Pilar's marital drama played out heavily over the web. First, there were comments made by Chanita Foster on Dallas radio about alleged infidelity by Pilar that spilled over to Twitter then Deion was caught cheating when his 19 year old mistress sent pictures and text messages to Media Fake Out . A few weeks later Deion issued a statement exclusively to a blog site saying that he'd be proceeding with a divorce, citing that he more or less was tired of the attention and work Pilar is getting. Pilar took to Twitter to confirm this. A few days later however, Deion took to his Twitter to say that he doesn't read blogs and would never issue a statement through one. Clearly this was the first sign of trouble in paradise.
