Shaquille O’Neal (Shaq) is one of the best players to ever step on a basketball court, but one of the most asked questions about him is, is the NBA Hall of Famer married?

Shaquille O’Neal had an incredible basketball career to say the very least. The NBA Hall of Famer is a four-time NBA Champion, a former MVP, and a multiple-time NBA All-Star – and is widely regarded as one of the best basketball players ever. While Shaq is now an entrepreneur and a celebrity with a very public life, many people ask if the NBA Hall of Famer is married.

It turns out that Shaq is currently not married. Shaq’s only marriage was in 2002 when he tied the knot with Shaunie Nelson, but after having six children – their marriage ended in 2009. Since then, Shaq has been linked to plenty of women but there is no proof of the fact that Shaq has ever tied the knot with any of the women linked to him.

The latest woman to be romantically linked to Shaq is none other than his co-host on The Big Podcast – Nischelle Turner. Dating rumours between the two peaked when Turner was in attendance with Shaq to watch the Super Bowl, but the two squashed the rumours and said that they were ‘only friends’. Turner is only one of the many women Shaq has been linked to be with.

What is Shaquille O’Neal’s dating history?

Shaq has been linked to plenty of women in his life, all of whom we will be looking into.

Shaq got married to Shaunie Nelson in 2002 and had six children with her, but subsequently got divorced in 2009. Since then, Shaq has been romantically linked to a lot of women. Shaq was reportedly engaged to Laticia Rolle in 2016, while he has been in a relationship with plenty of other women who we will look into.

From 1995 to 2022, Shaq has been dating the likes of Ametta Yardborough, Cindy Crawford, Karrine Steffans, Dominica Westling, Laura Govan, Nicole Alexander, Ananda Lewis and most recently, Annie Ilonzeh.

The 7’1” basketball superstar turned NBA analyst is still single according to reports, so do not be surprised to watch this space evolve in some time – it may host a few more names by then.
