Shaquille O'Neal had fans laughing once again after joking about his dating life during a recent appearance on Sundae Conversation with Caleb Pressley.
The NBA legend found himself at the center of a playful exchange when Pressley brought up a circulating article claiming Shaq had "four white girlfriends." Shaq quickly corrected him, saying the number was actually six. The moment instantly set the tone for the rest of the interview, with Shaq leaning into the humor rather than denying the rumors.
Pressley then asked if O'Neal had ever thought about settling down with just one partner, particularly someone closer to his towering 7-foot-plus frame. Shaq revealed that he recently met a woman "that's my size" through direct messages. When Pressley suggested he should "shoot his shot," the Hall of Famer confidently replied that he didn't need to. Pressley joked that if he had Shaq's level of fame and success, he probably wouldn't need to either. Shaq finished by saying women usually reach out to him first.
While rumors about multiple girlfriends have circulated in the past, including viral stories claiming several women lived in his home, Shaq has consistently treated them as jokes rather than facts.
O'Neal's romantic life has long drawn public interest, especially following his marriage to Shaunie Henderson. The two tied the knot in 2002 and shared a blended family of six children before divorcing in 2011. Shaq has since admitted in various interviews that he made mistakes during the marriage and struggled with balancing fame, relationships, and personal growth.
After the divorce, Shaq went on to date several high-profile women. One of his most well-known relationships was with reality TV star Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander, with whom he became engaged before the couple split in 2013. He later had a long-term relationship with model Laticia Rolle that lasted several years and sparked marriage speculation before ending in 2018.
Over the years, Shaq has also been linked to actress Annie Ilonzeh and several other rumored partners, though many of those relationships were never officially confirmed. Most recently, the former Lakers star publicly shut down a viral rumor claiming he was dating a much younger OnlyFans creator, making it clear the story wasn't true.
