Shaquille O’Neal has had quite the litany of romantic interests in his life. He would have his eldest daughter with his high school sweetheart, Arnetta Yardborough, and then proceed to have his remaining 4 children with Shaunie Henderson, having even been married to her for 5 years from 2002 to 2007.

Shaunie and Shaq would later get a divorce due to infidelity on both their sides, with the latter taking a majority of the blame. He would go on to claim that he indulged in extramarital relationships due to having ‘too many options’.
Since getting a divorce, Shaq has never remarried these past 16 years. He’s been linked to a slew of women but they’ve not done anything more than date. As of 2023, it looks as though O’Neal is single.
Shaquille O’Neal wanted Nischelle Turner to put in a word him to Charlize Theron
Shaquille O’Neal seems to be enamored with women who have ruled Hollywood for decades as he recently revealed on ‘The Big podcast’ that he has a crush on Charlize Theron. Prior to this, he let it be known that he had the biggest crush on Halle Berry during his college days but couldn’t muster up the courage to act on it.
Now, with the 51-year-old on the market, it seems as though he might be willing to shoot his shot. Of course, he hasn’t met Charlize but his podcast co-host, Nischelle Turner, bumped into her and Shaq hilariously gets at her for not putting in a good word for him to her.
“Speaking of sliding into the DMs, Nischelle was next to my crush and didn’t even put the word in for me. She was on the flight next to Charlize Theron and didn’t even put the word in for me. I was ‘Like hook me up’ and she was like ‘Nah I can’t’,” said Shaq.
Are Shaquille O’Neal and Nischelle Turner dating?
Both Shaquille O’Neal and Nischelle Turner are single. Given the fact that they have a podcast with one another and are clearly very close, rumors started to circulate about the two being romantically involved.
The fact that they have attended red carpets together and even sat with each other at last year’s Super Bowl didn’t help douse out the flames that propagated this rumor. Neither of the two have spoken out about it however.
