Shaq Kept Flirting With NFL Vet’s Baby Mama Despite 20 Year Age Difference; Apologized After Being Requested to Stop

Everybody is interested in knowing a little more private side of Shaquille O’Neal. The Los Angeles Lakers legend hasn’t publicly disclosed his next relationship, yet every few months eagle-eyed fans draw some assumptions and link up Shaq. But this time former NFL veteran has claimed on his podcast that DJ Shaq flirted with his baby mama.

Recently Shaq’s photo on X went viral with the caption “NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, 52, was spotted traveling with his 21-year-old girlfriend in Spain.” The post currently has 17.3M views, yet the information turned out to be not completely accurate. The community post on the image stated it was from 2019 when Shaq was in Spain and DJing for Tomorrowland. But the story with Jackson is pretty recent.

DeSean Jackson and Shady McCoy

on the 25/10 show revealed that O’Neal was talking to Jackson’s partner and the mother of his child. “Shaq Dm’d my baby mama before… My baby mama showed me the message and he was flirting. He was trying to get at her. I seen it. Yo!” revealed the NBA vet. This led to Jackson reaching out to Shaq directly at the time. After his conversation with Shaq, the NBA legend apologized for his actions and backed off.

Shaq had a very respectful response. Jackson recalled,”

He was like, oh shit. Damn. That’s your girl. Oh my bad lil bro. I ain’t know.” The partner in question is most probably Kayla Phillips. She is the mother of former Philadelphia Eagles star receiver sons DeSean, 8, and Jace, 5. According to multiple reports, she was born in 1991, which makes the age difference to Shaq 20 years. Not just this. Last week Shaunie Henderson dropped a book and revealed all about her ex-marriage with Shaq.

The Book Exposed Shaquille O’Neal’s Infidelity

In the book, Shaunie reflected on her parents’ marriage to eventually say, “That’s why I eventually forgave Shaquille for the things he did wrong in our marriage.” Shaunie realized at a young age that her father had been unfaithful to her mother. However, her mother stayed in the marriage despite the many infidelities, which eventually led to her mother becoming an angry and unhappy woman who couldn’t let go.

Shaunie and Shaquille tried to work it out before eventually finalizing their divorce in 2011. Contrary to her mother, Shaunie not only left the marriage but also forgave Shaq for causing the breakdown of it. “That’s a gift I gave to myself,” she remarked, looking back at the choice she made.

Shaquille O’Neal, his Instagram, uploaded a cryptic post and did not specify who he was talking about. “I understand…I wouldn’t have been in love with me neither. Wishing you all the best. All love, Shaq.” Seems like they have finally moved on. Shaq though is still on the lookout for his next Miss. Perfect.
