Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal has responded to Shaunie O’Neal’s revelation about their past relationship, acknowledging that he bears some responsibility for her feelings.
Shaunie shared in her book “Undefeated: Changing the Rules and Winning On My Own Terms” that their connection was more about their lifestyle than genuine love.
“Looking back, I don’t know that I was ever really in love with the man, but I was in love with the idea of being married to the man I had a family with,” Shaunie said.
“I was in love with the idea of building a life together. I truly did enjoy spending time with him. [NBA] road trips allowed me to be with my husband and experience the NBA life for a little while.”
The excerpt garnered significant attention, prompting Shaq to take to social media to offer his response.
“I understand,” the 52-year-old said. “I wouldn’t have been in love with me either. Wishing you all the best. All love.”
