Shaquille O’Neal, a great on the Los Angeles Lakers, has addressed the tweet by his ex-wife Shaunie Henderson. They tied the knot in 2002 but filed for a divorce in 2011, right before the player’s NBA career came to a close. But Henderson spilled the beans in her new book about their failed marriage and why she and O’Neal were never really a good fit.
Shaunie revealed several details about the family’s relocation to Miami and asserted that she is unsure of whether she ever “loved Shaq.” According to Shaunie, who was describing the type of marriage they had, O’Neal was not very interested in family life and was often absent.
In a reaction, Shaquille O’Neal shared an Instagram story in which he stated his full comprehension of her point of view.
“I comprehend…Equally unlikely, I would have been smitten with you. Best of luck to you. Everything is love. Well, Shaq…Following the caption was a heart emoticon, symbolizing Shaq’s claim that he felt nothing but “love” for his ex-partner.Undefeated: Changing the Rules and Winning On My Own Terms, Shaunie Henderson’s newly published memoir, contained the insights stated above.
Henderson provided what is perhaps the most in-depth description of their marriage to date when she said that although she enjoyed spending time with Shaq, the concept of “being in love with the man” she was married to was more appealing to her.
The story doesn’t exactly show Shaquille O’Neal in a positive light throughout their marriage, but it looks like he knows what he did wrong and doesn’t blame Shaunie.
In her recent interview, Shaunie Henderson opens out about her marriage to Shaquille O’Neal.As Shaunie pointed out, she was a mother to their four children before and after her marriage to Shaquille O’Neal, which lasted many years. Although his extensive NBA job necessitated regular exercise, she implied that O’Neal would be away from home for the majority of his time.
In addition, she asserted that the marriage had started to fail from the very beginning:
I relished the precious early years spent caring for my children and being a mother. My days were jam-packed with family and children, but every now and then I had the opportunity to travel or experience the NBA lifestyle. My marriage, however, was slowly but surely crumbling.Furthermore, she mentioned:
At first, it wasn’t apparent, as I’ve mentioned in my writing. Do you remember how, at first, your illness’s symptoms are so minor that you doubt you’re actually sick? For the first few years, such was the case. Due to my happiness and busyness, I failed to perceive what was happening. However, the symptoms became more noticeable as the illness advanced.The former Laker’s agreement with Shaunie’s suggestion that O’Neal had a tendency to “disappear at times” was confirmed in an interview with O’Neal. Regarding his blunders, Shaquille O’Neal stated:
I screwed up with twо lоvely wоmen. Arnetta, my baby mоther, was the first, and Shaunie was the secоnd. Like Shaunie, I ruined what cоuld have been a flawless wоman.So, although fans were understandably worried when the accusations surfaced, it’s evident that the two have moved on from their past and truly care about each other.
