Shaquille O’Neal said that he was to blame for his failed marriage to Shaunie O’Neal and that he did not keep the vows and commitments they made before their wedding.
Shaquille O’Neal’s professional basketball career spanned two decades and six NBA teams, earning him a place in the Hall of Fame. However, when it comes to his personal life, the 7-foot-1 center has admitted to having “regrets,” especially the end of his seven-year marriage to Shaunie O’Neal, who has since remarried.
Shaq’s relationship with Shaunie began in the late 1990s after he joined the Los Angeles Lakers. According to the former professional athlete, the couple “had it all” over the years: an opulent Beverly Hills wedding, six children and a 31,000-square-foot Florida mansion.

Shaq stated of his relationship with the Basketball Wives star, “I had the perfect setup.” However, the couple divorced twice: once in 2007 and once in 2009.
Shaq left the Orlando Magic after four years to join the Los Angeles Lakers. The deal not only netted her $120 million over seven years, it also introduced her to his future wife, movie marketer Shaunie Nelson.
Shaunie then confessed that Shaq was her first boyfriend in the NBA.

While discussing some of his regrets, he claimed to blame himself for the split and praised his ex-wife as “wonderful”.
“I’ve never talked about it before, and I’m glad you’re asking me because I don’t mind talking about it, but I was horrible,” he admitted. “She was great. She really was. She was entirely my fault.
While Shaq stated that he didn’t need to “talk about” what he did during the marriage, he did admit that he didn’t “keep the commitments” made in it, heavily implying that he had extramarital affairs. This, of course, led to a divorce that forced him to pay $100,000 in child support each month.
Shaq also acknowledged that he had found the perfect wife in Shaunie. However, due to her own shortcomings, he was unable to maintain a healthy relationship with her.
