Shaq Speaks Out After PDA Photo Of ‘His Hands’ On Influencer Goes Viral

The NBA Hall of Famer responded to the claims in typical Shaq style

A photo of an unknown man with large hands wrapped around a woman has been circulating online, and social media detectives were quick to suggest that the mystery man might be none other than Shaquille O’Neal.

The NBA Hall of Famer, whose full name is Shaquille O’Neal, addressed the situation after the affectionate picture went viral.

Maria Ozuna Teachey had shared a mirror selfie with an extremely tall man hugging her from behind, though his face wasn’t visible in the image.

She captioned it: “Unapologetically us. Can y’all guess who feet? #loveyou.”

It didn’t take long for her 200,000+ Instagram followers to flood the comments, speculating that the man in the photo was the 7-foot-1-inch, 325-pound basketball legend.

Shaq was soon alerted about the viral photo and responded in his usual playful style.

The popular Instagram account WorldStar reposted the picture with the caption: “Folks on social media seem to think #Shaq has a new girlfriend.”

Shaq quickly shut down the rumors by commenting, “Nope not the kid.”

In typical Shaq fashion, he took the joke further by posting a video on his own Instagram account, where he was seen with five women.

He humorously captioned the post, “Is this my girlfriend too, trust me I’ll let y’all know who my woman is, and by the way my woman name is Shaqirah.”

He didn’t stop there. Shaq followed it up with a clip of himself lip-synching to Denzel Washington’s famous speech from Training Day, writing, “I will let y’all know when I’m in love.”

Meanwhile, Teachey has since deleted the post from her Instagram account, although it’s still up on her Facebook page.

Shaq has kept a low profile on the dating scene since his 2011 divorce from ex-wife Shaunie Henderson, the founder of Basketball Wives.

The former couple share five children: Shareef, Amirah, Me’arah, Shaqir, and Myles B. O’Neal, who is Shaunie’s son from a previous relationship.

Shaq also has a daughter, Taahirah O’Neal, with ex-girlfriend Arnetta Yardbourgh.

Despite various dating rumors over the years, Shaq has remained pretty tight-lipped about his personal life.

One thing that remains certain is Shaq’s status as a sports icon.

In addition to dominating the basketball court, he’s taken on some wild challenges—like racing Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps.

During his Shaq Vs. series on ABC, the 15-time NBA All-Star swam 25 yards in 23.14 seconds, while Phelps swam 50 yards with a five-second head start, finishing in 24.03 seconds.

Sure, Shaq had an easier swim, but hey, it still made for great TV!
