Having 6 Children, Shaquille O’Neal ‘Lambasts’ 82 Y/o Al Pacino For Having A Child With A 29 Y/o: “You’re Gonna Have One Parent At High School Graduation”

Having 6 Children, Shaquille O'Neal 'Lambasts' 82 Y/o Al Pacino For Having A Child With A 29 Y/o: "You're Gonna Have One Parent At High School Graduation"

Al Pacino recently announced that he is expecting a baby with his 29-year-old girlfriend, Noor Alfallah. The Scarface actor’s announcement of being a father at the age of 83 has astonished his fans and even Shaquille O’Neal. Besides this, actor Robert De Niro had also previously fathered a child at 79. All of these seem to have shocked Shaq, who is himself the father of six children.

During his appearance on the Big Podcast, Shaq responded to the situation with his trademark humor. He amusingly suggested that in such cases, it’s clear that only one parent would be present at the child’s high school graduation. The hosts were taken aback by the significant 54-year age gap between Pacino and his partner. Shaq himself has been in relationships with younger women after his divorce from Shaunie O’Neal, including actress Annie Ilonzeh Ngozi, with whom he had a 12-year age difference.

Shaquille O’Neal lambasted Al Pacino in the most amusing manner

Speaking on The Big Podcast, Shaq and the hosts arrived on the topic of Al Pacino having a baby at 83. The hosts Nischelle Turner and Spice Adams were flabbergasted by this proposition, while jokingly teasing Shaq that he would be the next person with such news. Reacting to Al Pacino’s announcement, Shaq humorously pointed out:

“The only thing you’re gonna have one parent at the high school graduation, and it ain’t gonna be the daddy. Because 83 plus 20, is what? a 103? But 28 plus 20 should be 48, she’ll be hot. She’ll have a big old light shining right in the middle of her head.” 

It is also reported that Al Pacino himself could not believe that he could father a child at 83. He demanded a paternity test, in order to prove that the child was indeed his. Shaq and the other panelists in the podcasts find this piece of news absolutely crazy and unbelievable. They are quite amused by Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, making their news an interesting topic to joke and laugh about in the podcast.

Shaq does not look forward to marrying in the near future

Shaquille O’Neal has a vivid dating history and was once also married to Shaunie O’Neal from 2002 until their divorce in 2011. In several interviews, Shaq blamed himself for his failed marriage, realizing the mistakes that he had made due to his ‘greediness.’

Shaq does not want to get married anytime soon, as he believes he still has responsibilities to fulfill for his ‘four’ wives. The four wives in question are his mother and three daughters. Shaq had once commented on the same and said:

“I got 4 wives. I got 3 daughters. That’s a man’s job. Man with his daughter and his wife is the same responsibility. Protect, provide, and love. They actually act like wives. ‘Where you going? What you doing? Who is this?’ And my mama. My father passed away about 10 years ago and before he did he told me to take care of my mother.”

The 51-year-old former Lakers and Heat superstar chooses to remain single for now and is not interested in any kind of relationship. He believes he has too many responsibilities on his plate, given his roles of being a loving father and a dutiful son.
