Why Ezra's Parents Divorced After Two Decades?

Unfortunately, the marriage of Ezra's parents didn't last forever because they filed for divorce after staying together for more than two decades.  Albert and Deidra looked like a happy family, but it seemingly fell apart in February 2022.

Albert initiated the divorce, citing "Irreconcilable Differences," but the exact reason for their divorce hasn't been revealed to the public. He told the People's reporters:

"“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."

He continued:

"As a devout Christian, this is an outcome that I never wanted to see happen."

Even though Albert and Deidra might have separated, they have committed to raising their children in a loving environment. It was a hard time for the family, so Albert pleaded not to intrude on their privacy, including the children's privacy.

Deidra Pujols Went Through The Brain Tumor Surgery

Ezra Pujol's mother, Deidra Pujol's brain tumor, was discovered in October 2021. However, she delayed the operation for the tumor for a few months. It was getting harder for Deidra to handle her tumor, so she opted in for brain surgery to remove the tumor in 2022.

Deidra posted on her Instagram citing:

"I have delayed this procedure for as long as I could out of fear and inconvenience to my busy life. However, I can wait no longer.”

Deidra got brain surgery the same day her husband, Albert, played for the Cardinals against the Nationals. He was obviously worried for her, but the surgery was completed successfully. After the successful surgery, she stated:

“Whether God healed me supernaturally or a doctor had to go in and get out this creepy invader, it is a miracle!”

Ezra's Second Sister Aspires To Be A Gymnast
