NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal and TV personality Nicole ‘Hoopz’ Alexander were romantically involved for a duration of three years before their separation. Alexander gained popularity through her appearances on MTV reality shows. Their relationship became a hot topic once again, as a picture of the couple during their time together resurfaced and began circulating online.
Shaquille O’Neal, also known as the Big Diesel, and Nicole Alexander were spotted walking together, displaying affection by cozying up and sharing a kiss on the lips. Their physical contrast caught the attention of many observers. O’Neal, towering at seven feet tall, appeared like a giant next to Alexander, who stands at 5’2″.
