It cannot be stressed enough that Shaquille O’Neal is one of the greatest basketball players in the league. However, beneath the persona of an NBA legend, Shaq Diesel is a doting father to his kids. The Hall of Famer has six children from his past two relationships who are now all grown up and pursuing their ambitions. While they might not be all related by blood, their close bond narrates a completely different story. A recent social media post shared by the Los Angeles Lakers legend’s daughter Me’arah O’Neal for one of her brothers showcased the type of relationship the siblings have.

Shaquille O’Neal welcomed his first child, Taahirah, in 1996 with ex-girlfriend Arnetta Yardbourgh. Following that, Shaq married Shaunie with whom he had four kids, Shareef, Amirah, Shaqir, and Me’arah. The former NBA superstar is also the stepfather to Myles O’Neal, who is Shaunie’s son from a previous relationship.

Shaquille O’Neal’s stepson, Myles O’Neal, is the eldest among his children after Taahirah and has already made a name for himself in the modeling industry. Apart from being a model, Myles is also a television personality and a DJ like his dad. The 25-year-old millionaire recently showcased his musical talents at the Shaq’s Fun House festival where he had accompanied his dad.

Myles shared a series of photos and videos from the carnival that was held on February 10 in Phoenix, Arizona. Shaq’s youngest daughter, Me’arah, shared one of the videos of Myles deejaying for a vast crowd.
