Albert Pujols announced Monday that he and wife Deidre are splitting up.

“I’ve been asked a lot of questions over the past few days regarding what’s been going on at home and sadly, after 22 years of marriage, I have made the decision to file for divorce from my wife, Deidre,” Pujols said in a statement released by his agent, Dan Lozano.

“I realize this is not the most opportune time with Opening Day approaching and other family events that have recently taken place. These situations are never easy and isn’t something that just happened overnight.”

Those other family events were Deidre undergoing successful surgery to remove a brain tumor.

Do people really think Pujols decided to file after Deidre’s surgery? They’ve more than likely talked about this extensively. The timing of this being released is horrendous, but stop writing Pujols off as a piece of shit when nobody knows the details.

As heart breaking it is for The Pujols divorce. His wife hasn’t had a picture on her account of him even before surgery. Something in the home hasn’t been right and not our place to speculate. Just accept it pray for them and move on with your day. Don’t gossip

What do you even say about Pujols divorcing his wife after brain surgery? Or do you even really need to say anything. This all feels so strange

Albert Pujols did nothing wrong he doesn’t need to stay with her just because she had surgery. Divorce doesn’t happen overnight lmfaoooo

Is Pujols trying to get ahead of something? Like, what’s the scenario where announcing a divorce days after your wife (and mother of your five kids) has brain surgery is the PR play?

This offseason, Pujols signed a one-year deal to return to the Cardinals, where he previously played from 2001 to 2011. He and Deidre had been married since 2000.

Last season, Pujols hit .236 with 17 homers as he split time with the Dodgers and Angels.
