NCAA Men
Basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal

Shaquille O'Neal was a 7-foot-1, 325-pound center who dominated the NBA and college basketball in his prime as one of the best centers to ever play the game.

O'Neal played 19 NBA seasons, with the LA Lakers, Orlando Magic, Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, Boston Celtics and Phoenix Suns.

Shaquille O'Neal dated numerous women throughout his life and also divorced Shaunie Nelson.

O'Neal dated Arnetta Yardbourgh from 1992 to 1996. The couple had a child together, Taahirah O'Neal, on July 18, 1996, but split up in the same year.

In 1997, Shaquille O'Neal met Shaunie Henderson (1997-2002) and got married on Dec. 26, 2002. The couple had four children together: Shareef Rashaun O'Neal, Amira Sanaa O'Neal, Shaqir O'Neal and Me'arah O'Neal. The couple split in 2007 and even tried making it work afterwards, but the divorce ended up being final in 2011.

While O'Neal was married to Shaunie, he had an affair with Dominica Westling from 2009 to 2010. Their affair became public in 2010.

Shaq dated Nicole Alexander in 2010-2012, but the relationship ended because of Shaq's unfaithfulness with Nicole. Katrina Taylor came next, but the relationship only lasted from August 2007 to November 2007.

Shaquille O'Neal was also engaged to Laticia Rolle on March 30, 2016. The two dated for two years after meeting in 2014, but their engagement did not last as they separated in 2018.


Shaquille O'Neal's height compared to love interests

Shaquille O'Neal was listed at 7-1. His ex-wife Shaunie Henderson described the height difference with her looking smaller than usual next to the big man. This was because Shaunie was 5-7 as she ended up looking shorter to Shaq's tall stature.

Additionally, Arnetta Yardbourgh (5-8), Dominica Westling (5-4), Nicole Alexander (5-2), Katrina Taylor (5-2) and Laticia Rolle (5-6) all experienced what Shaunie Henderson described.


O’Neal also previously dated Annie Ilonzeh

The latest to be involved with Shaquille O’Neal was Annie Ilonzeh who became popular with her role as Emily Foster in Chicago. She was also part of the movie Peppermint that starred Jennifer Garner.

Like Laticia Rolle, Ilonzeh is 5-foot-6. In similar fashion, the All Eyez on Me star looked more diminutive than she really is when he’s with Shaq.

The LA Lakers legend and Ilonzeh were rumored to have stopped dating. She has sometimes been spotted with actor Brandon T. Jackson. O’Neal on the other hand, hasn’t been seen dating again.
