Shaq Opens Up About His Divorce From Shaunie Nelson
The Blast recently reported on the life lessons Shaq learned following his failed marriage to Shaunie Nelson.
O’Neal has stayed unmarried since his divorce in 2011 preferring to devote his time and energy to expanding his already massive business empire. The business entrepreneur has a penchant for picking the correct investments, having made a fortune from real estate, stocks, food franchises, and other ventures.
Now, the ex-basketballer recently addressed the cause for his divorce from Shaunie, with whom he shared seven years of marriage and four children.

On April 19, O’Neal told “The Pivot Podcast” that he blames himself for the marriage’s demise, implying that he did not do enough to fulfill his responsibilities as a partner.
The NBA Star Says Divorce 'Was All Me'
“I’m glad you guys asked because I don’t mind talking about this, but I was bad,” Shaq said. “She was awesome. She really was. It was all me.”
The NBA player first filed for divorce from Shaunie in 2007 but eventually reunited with his wife; however, Shaunie filed for divorce less than two years later, with the court process finishing its run in 2011.
O’Neal kept away from the specifics of their divorce, preferring to provide an overview of what went wrong. The ex-basketballer continued pointing the finger at himself, implying that he was hugely ashamed for causing the breakup.
“We don’t need to talk about what I was doing, but I wasn’t protecting her and protecting those vows. Sometimes you live that double life and get caught up,” he admitted. “I’m not going to say it was her. It was all me.”
