Social media detectives can relax… Shaquille O’Neal said he was not the man in the PDA photos that circulated the Internet on Tuesday.
If you haven’t seen it yet… This selfie was taken by Maria Ozuna Teach Earlier this week, she posted a photo to her more than 200,000 Instagram followers of herself standing in front of a mirror with a large man putting his arms around her.
Many people assumed it was Big Diesel due to the guy’s size – after all, the guy looked tall and very strong – and he also seemed to have big hands and feet.
However, the 7-foot-1 NBA Hall of Famer quickly shot down the speculation just hours ago… writing on WorldStar’s IG page that he “is not that kid.”
Maria, who calls herself the video’s creator, didn’t respond to all the attention… but she did delete the photo from her IG.
Of course, this isn’t the first time Shaq has been mentioned in dating rumors…remember when he was seen with Brittany Renner Last year at dinner? Many people think they are also an object, but TMZ Sports confirms They were nothing more than old friends.
O’Neal was only married once…to a television personality and producer Shaunie O’Neal. They divorced in 2011.
The 52-year-old has since been in several relationships, including with Laticia Rolle The other is a reality star Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander.
However, it looks like Big Shaq is still an eligible bachelor!
