Let us know if NBA legend Shaq O’Neal is dating someone new
Shaquille O’Neal enjoyed huge success while playing basketball in the NBA. His dominance on the court is a tale of legends and he is a superstar in today’s time.
However, Shaq’s love life is not as successful as his NBA career. The Big Diesel was married once but that marriage did not last a lifetime.
Shaq married Shaunie Henderson in 1998 but they got divorced in 2011. A few weeks ago, Shaq admitted that the marriage ended because of his fault.
Further, Shaq and Shaunie have four children between them together.
Nevertheless, after Shaq’s divorce in 2011, he went on to date a string of women but unfortunately, none of the relationships lasted long.
However, in the latest development, it has been learned that Shaq is dating someone now.
Sources suggest that Shaq is currently dating Annie Ilonzeh, who is a Nigerian American actress.
Let us know more about Shaq’s new relationship.
Born August 23, 1983, in Grapevine, Texas, USA, Annie Ilonzeh is the daughter of Christian Ostita Ilonzeh and Annette Louise. Needless to say, 39-year-old Annie spent her childhood and grew up in Grapevine, Texas. She is known to attend Colleyville Heritage High School in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Colleyville.
Annie’s mother, Annette Louise, is half Polish, half English, and of American descent. Annie’s father, Christian Ostita Ilonzeh, is of Nigerian descent.
Notably, she also has four siblings named Christina Ilonzeh, Emily Ilonzeh, Jenifer Ilonzeh, and Laura Ilonzeh.
Sadly, apart from this, nothing much is known about Annie’s personal life.
In 2007, Annie Ilonzeh made her acting debut with a cameo in the popular TV sitcom “How I Met Your Mother.” She portrayed Becky, a character who knew the main character Barney Stinson and was a female gym rat.
After her appearance on “How I Met Your Mother,” several new opportunities for the aspiring actor began to present themselves. In 2009, Annie made her debut in the film “He’s Just Not That Into You.” In later films like “Miss March” and “Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief,” she would play similar parts.
She played a number of smaller roles before landing her breakthrough role in 2011. As one of the Angels, Ilonzeh won the lead part in the “Charlie’s Angels” television revival. Despite the cancellation of the show, Ilonzeh was still able to establish her value in the movie business.
In 2017, Annie advanced her career by securing yet another significant role, this time in a film. In the biographical drama ‘All Eyez on Me’, she plays ‘Kidada Jones’.
Right now, Ilonzeh is one of the key actors in the TV show “The Lower Bottoms”. She played ‘Beulah Rhodes’ in five of the show’s seven episodes.
Ilonzeh is also famous for her roles in TV shows like General Hospital, Until Death Do Us Part, and Netflix’s Peppermint, among others.
Further, Annie proudly calls herself an “outlier” and boasts an Instagram following of 189K followers.
The relationship rumors of Shaq and Annie began back in 2021. The paparazzi was quick to capture the NBA Hall of Famer with Annie on a beach in Spain and that fanned the rumor. After that, not much was known about the relationship.
Recently, in June 2022, it was confirmed by sources that Shaq and Annie are indeed dating. However, the relationship is very private, and not much is known about the couple.
