On ‘The Big Podcast with Shaq’, O’Neal openly admitted how his serial cheating cost him nearly everything:
Shaquille O’Neal was just coming off a grand slam and third consecutive NBA Finals MVP award with the LA Lakers when he married Shaunie O’Neal. He was arguably the best player in the league at the time and inarguably its most marketable superstar.
Five years later, the couple filed for divorce, which they eventually wanted to be dismissed and reconciled. Two years after originally filing for divorce, they were back at it again in 2009 due to ‘irreconcilable differences’.
The former couple had four children together, Shareef, Amirah, Shaqir and Me’arah. Shaquille O’Neal had a daughter with former girlfriend Arnetta Yardbourgh while Shaunie had Myles before marrying Shaq.
It would come out later than Shaquille O’Neal’s cheating was the biggest reason why Shaunie had had enough. On ‘The Pivot’ podcast, O’Neal opened up on some of the details of the divorce and his regrets for what he did:
Shaquille O’Neal admits being too greedy to appreciate what he had until he lost it
When it seemed like he had everything going for him, Shaquille O’Neal wanted more, forgetting that what he needed was right there all along.
After being greedy, Shaq is just doing the best he can to be there for his children. This includes making amends with his former wife, who he reportedly has a stronger relationship with now than when they were married.
