Shaq’s ex-wife, Shaunie, is also newly married to a Houston-based Pastor Keion Henderson. They have documented their love story in a three-part series on VH1.

However, is the Big Aristotle looking to remarry again? To this Shaq responded, “All my celebrity crushes are taken“.

The reporter knew who he had in his mind. Jennifer Lopez’s name triggered another hilarious response from the Los Angeles Lakers legend. “Big Ben, it wasn’t me!”

Will Shaquille O’Neal follow J-Lo?

E! News also asked him if he would make a transition from basketball to Hollywood like his celebrity crush, Jennifer Lopez who made a transition from music to acting. Leave it to the Big Aristotle to come up with a witty and funny answer, as he simply replied, “‘Kazaam 2′ coming soon“.

‘Kazaam’ was a combination of a comedy and fantasy film in 1996 starring the one and only Shaquille O’Neal. He played the titular role of a genie who grants the protagonist, Max, three wishes.

In his memoir, ‘Shaq Uncut: My Story‘, he had written about his infidelity that eventually led to his and Shaunie’s divorce. Shaquille O’Neal currently co-parents five children with Shaunie. Speaking about her dynamic with Shaq, Shaunie said that they have remained friends and are respectful of each other’s spaces. She was also happy that he was able to speak his truth regarding their marriage.
