"He just shouldn't cheat on his wife lol" - NBA fans react to Shaquille O'Neal citing one reason why he "may end up alone"

Shaquille O'Neal appeared in the latest episode of Angel Reese’s “Unapologetically Angel” podcast. The Chicago Sky star asked her mentor if he would consider marrying again. Shaq answered that he would “probably not" tie the knot again and added that he might end up alone.

O’Neal told Reese there is no “handbook” to be “a perfect man or perfect husband.” The LA Lakers legend claimed that women “make up” rules in relationships, something he doesn’t want to through again.

Shaunie Henson, Shaquille O'Neal’s former wife, filed for divorce in 2007 but recalled the petition before going through with it in 2009. Two years later, the divorce became official, making the basketball Hall of Famer single again.

O’Neal admitted in “The Pivot” that he was a “serial cheater,” the biggest reason why his marriage with Nelson crumbled. He said Nelson wasn’t at fault because she gave him “beautiful kids” and did everything for their family.

Shaunie married Keion Henderson in 2022 while Shaquille O'Neal said in the Angel Reese podcast he isn’t “physically” dating someone.

Shaquille O'Neal once said that he might not be a “husband” but he would always be a father

In 2022, Shaquille O’Neal appeared on “The Pivot” as a guest. He was asked about his married life and his divorce from Shaunie Nelson. O’Neal admitted his cheating ways cost him everything. He said in the interview that he was “lost” inside his mansion in Florida without any of his children.

O’Neal shared his motivation to keep working despite already being a millionaire:

“I said to myself, ‘You’re not married but you still have to protect and provide for this family. Get your a** up. Man up. Let’s go. What you gonna do next?’ I may not be a husband but I’m always a father and a father’s job is to protect, provide and love.

Shaquille O'Neal reiterated the sentiment in Angel Reese's podcast, saying he might be alone but vowed to do his job as a father to his children.
