Despite Marrying Shaquille O’Neal’s Ex-Wife Shaunie, Houston Pastor Reveals Unexpected Bond With Lakers Legend

Can someone have an amicable and respectful relationship with their current partner’s ex? That seems to be the case with the new blended family of Shaquille O’Neal and his ex-wife Shaunie. Houston Pastor Keion Henderson married Shaq’s ex-wife Shaunie earlier this year, and in a recent interview, Henderson shared what his bond was like with the Los Angeles Lakers legend.

However, both Keion and Shaq have supposedly never met in person, as Henderson said their busy schedules have hindered them from crossing paths. He admitted that there was absolutely no bad blood between the two. He said that he looked forward to meeting the NBA champion, “as I would anybody who’s accomplished in life what they have like he has”.

Shaunie’s current husband also declared that both men have “nothing to compete about”.

Meanwhile, Shaunie revealed that she loves how her husband treats other people. She also revealed that Henderson made her a better person.

The couple documented their love story in a three-part series titled, ‘I Do’ on VH1. The First Lady of the Lighthouse Church accepted Henderson’s proposal after almost two years of dating. The couple tied the knot at the Aurora Anguilla Resort and Golf Club on the tropical island. Shaunie’s three sons walked her down the aisle, and she couldn’t be more grateful for the whole family’s support.

Notably, this is the second marriage for both Keion and Shaunie.
