Shaq Says Viral Photo Isn’t Him

Additional Coverage:

Basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal has denied rumors that he is dating a woman whose photo with a large man went viral on social media.

The photo, posted by Instagram user Maria Ozuna Teachey, showed her in front of a mirror with a man’s arms wrapped around her. Due to the man’s size, many speculated it was O’Neal.

O’Neal quickly took to social media to debunk the claims, stating that he was "not the kid" in the photo. Teachey has since removed the photo from her Instagram account.

This is not the first time O’Neal has been the subject of dating rumors. Last year, he was spotted out with model Brittany Renner, but TMZ Sports confirmed they were only friends.

O’Neal has only been married once, to television personality Shaunie O’Neal, whom he divorced in 2011. He has been in several relationships since, including with Laticia Rolle and Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander.

Despite these relationships, it appears that the 52-year-old O’Neal remains single.
