The wife of Shaquille O’Neal filed for legal separation from the NBA superstar. 

In the court papers, Va’shaundya O’Neal(also known as Shaunie) cited irreconilable differences. 

The O’Neal couple have been married for seven years, and they share four children together.

In 2003, their marriage was put in the spotlight when Shaq’s former teammate Kobe Bryant told police Shaq cheats on his wife. 

Bryant made those comments when investigators questioned him during the rape allegations against Bryant in Colorado. 

 Bryant told police O’Neal has affairs and“Shaq would pay his women not to say anything.”

Since Bryant snitched, it has been reported the O’Neal’s marriage has been on the rocks ever since. 

In 2007, they filed for divorce, but they later reconciled.
