It has been more than a decade since Shaquille O’Neal and Shaunie Henderson called it quits and parted ways. Henderson went on to remarry, whereas Shaq has been enjoying the single life ever since. Though there have been a few women that have been liked to the Los Angeles Lakers legend over the years, he hasn’t settled down just yet. With more rumors doing the rounds about a new flame in his life, Shaq cleared the air on an apparent “secret woman”.

About 17 months ago, a rumor circulated on social media regarding the relationship between Shaquille O’Neal and realtor Tiara Renne. Though those rumors were quickly put to rest, Shaq’s latest admission provided more clarity about his love life.

In one of Shaq’s recent episodes of The Big Podcast with Shaq, co-host Nischelle Turner was convinced of what the ‘Sunshine Cafe’ was. Turner was under the impression that Shaq and their co-host Spice Adams were talking about a “secret woman“.

Unfortunately, for Turner, the sunshine cafe turned out to be a hookah place that Shaq often visited to cool off and relax. After Turner reminded O’Neal that they gifted him a hookah on Christmas, she reminisced about the time Shaq choked on his hookah. Turner and Adams burst out in laughter.

Shaq steered the conversation toward how Turner was probably the worst detective ever. He said, “Nischelle, on today’s episode of ‘You’re the worst detective ever’, you thought Sunshine was a woman?”

Turner was convinced that she could crack the code of Shaq and Adams’ coded conversation and throw it back in his face. To that, Shaq replied by saying, “You know why you can never crack the code? Because there is no code to crack.”
