Shaunie Henderson, a well-known TV personality and ex-wife of former NBA player turned analyst Shaquille O’Neal, stated her doubts about having feelings for Shaq in her book “Undefeated: Changing the Rules and Winning On My Own Terms,” to which the 52-year-old responded.

“Looking back, I don’t know that I was ever really in love with the man, but I was in love with the idea of being married to the man I had a family with,” wrote Shaunie. While the fans were stunned by the revelation, O’Neal gracefully acknowledged the matter and wrote on his Instagram handle, “I understand…I wouldn’t have been in love with me either. Wishing you all the best. All love, Shaq.”

The couple got married in December 2002 and have four children together. After years of struggles in their marriage life, the pair decided to part ways and finalized their divorce in 2011. Though things looked all glittery, there were complexities in their relationship which have been disclosed.
