Shaquille O’Neal is a man who needs no introduction, the heavyweight who dominated the Basketball court in his whole career. But many people don’t know that he also has led a significant married life and became a father to many beautiful children.<\/p>\n

So here you have it, all there is about Shaq’s five children. Know who his sons are daughters are with a short bio on each of them but first learn about Shaq’s married and dating life.<\/p>\n

Shaquille O’Neal Married, Divorce and Dating Life<\/h2>\n

Shaquille O’Neal<\/strong><\/a> was married only once in his life and to his former wife, Shaunie Nelson<\/strong><\/a>. They got married on December 26, 2002. They ran into some marital problem not so long after which prompted Shaq to almost go through with a divorce on September 4, 2007, in a Miami-Dade circuit court.<\/p>\n

However, the couples seem to have somehow made it work as Shaunie later said that they were back again. But, their divorce seemed only to have been postponed as two years later on November 10, 2009; it was Shaunie who filed and intent for the divorce. Irreconcilable differences were listed as the cause of the divorce.<\/p>\n

Despite their failed marriage, it was a productive one as the majority of his kids came out of it. Sons; Shareef and Shaqir and daughters Amirah and Meerah were all products of Shaquille O’Neal with ex-wife Shaunie Nelson.<\/p>\n

Shaquille O’Neal, however, already had a child before his married life began. His eldest daughter is Taahirah O’Neal, with a former girlfriend, Arnetta Yardbourgh.<\/p>\n

Since his ex-wife, Shaq O’Neal has been in dating relationships with multiple partners. He was dating reality TV star Nicole Alexander or Hoopz from 2010 to 2012. Since 2014 he has also bee dating a model by the name of Laticia Rolle.<\/p>\n

Shaquille O’Neal Children:<\/h2>\n

Eldest Daughter Taahirah Yardbourgh<\/h3>\n

Taahira Yardbourgh was born on July 18, 1996, in Orlando, Florida. Taahira currently lives with her mother in Houston, Texas.<\/p>\n

She is currently 23 years of age. We remember because two years ago, for her 21-year birthday bash, her father Shaquille O’Neal went all out for the celebration booking the Life HTX venue in Montrose and throwing an all-white party. He had Chloe Dao, Project Runway season 2 winner, to design a beautiful white gown for her daughter. She even arrived at her party in a spectacular white Bentley.<\/p>\n

It must really pay-off to have a celebrity parent who can afford to throw a bash like that.<\/p>\n

She graduated from college this year in 2019 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology from Oglethorpe University. Her minor was in politics and African-American science.<\/p>\n

Taarah does well to keep her head out of all the media attention because of her famous father. However, long back in 2004, we would never have expected her to come up in the news the way she did. One of their housekeepers was stabbed to death by her son in their then-family home in Sugar Land, Texas.<\/p>\n

Other than that, we don’t get to hear much about Taarah’s personal life, but she seems to be doing academically well. More updates will follow on Taarah, but until then, this is all we have for you.<\/p>\n

Prodigy Son Shareef O’Neal<\/h3>\n

Shareef O’Neal is the oldest of Shaq’s children born on January 11, 2000. He can easily be considered Shaq’s prodigy. Shareef is one of the top college basketball players who are playing for the UCLA Bruins. He excelled in national high school basketball leagues, as well.<\/p>\n

His official debut with UCLA was a little delayed due to his medical problems. After feeling funny, Shareef was medically checked to discover that he had a heart defect and had to undergo a surgery in December 2018.<\/p>\n

All went well, and he has now been delivering excellent performance with the Bruins in exhibition games and in the Drew League before that. Shareef, who plays power forward, has been quoted to having a playing style and role utterly different than that of his much bigger father.<\/p>\n

His career is going well, and all but his relationship with his father is our major concern. Luckily, that seems to be going well too. On his return after the surgery, he was interviewed and questioned about his father.<\/p>\n

Shareef, O’Neal, instantly had a smile every time he talked about his father. He spoke of his father’s tattoo on one of his calves, which were from one of the very first games he went to. Shaq had delivered a stunning dunk and then pointed at the box suites. Even Shareef knew about it after he was a lot older than Shaq was actually pointing and dedicating the shot to him, so he had to get the moment tattoed.<\/p>\n
