People Are Convinced Shaq Is In A Secret New Relationship — And They Have The Photos To ‘Prove’ It
Shaquille O’Neal has responded to fan claims that he is the secret new boyfriend of influencer Maria Ozuna Teachey.
Teachey, who has more than 200,000 followers on Instagram, posted a photo on social media inviting fans to guess who she is with.
The man in the photo towers over her, his hands on her breasts. His face is hidden from view. ‘Can you guess whose feet? #loveyou’ Teachey wrote in the caption.
The photo has been deleted from her Instagram account, but is still on her Facebook account. NBA fans didn’t need an invitation to speculate that it was the 7-foot-1 star.
“Shaq thinks we can’t see him,” one social media user wrote. “Shaq and his new girlfriend,” another added.

“Shaq has no shame,” a third person wrote next to the photo, in a post that has since been viewed more than 14 million times.
But the NBA legend quickly denied it was him in the photo, writing on Instagram: “No, not that boy.”
He also posted a number of photos where he struck the same pose as the man in the photo with Teachey.
He said, ‘Is this also my girlfriend? Trust me, I will tell you who my wife is. And by the way, my wife’s name is Shaqrah.’
O’Neal’s feet went viral earlier this year after the former NBA star revealed he spends four-figures on pedicures.
“I give about $1,000 because I know my feet stink, I know they’re ugly, and I like to paint them,” he said earlier this year.
“I paint that shit because it’s ugly and I want it to look nice,” he continued, adding that he likes to have “glitter and patterns” on his feet.
Shaq is now a popular analyst and last week he led a public sparring session with ‘NBA about TNT colleague Charles Barkley on criticism of Caitlin Clark.

Clark, the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA, has sparked a dramatic surge in popularity in women’s basketball.
According to O’Neal, Barkley’s defense of Clark does her no favors.
“Loudmouths like Chuck talk about hating… it’s not hating. It’s like, (Clark is) good, but let’s tone it down a little bit,” O’Neal said Today in the US.
‘As good as Caitlin Clark is, we’ve had a lot of young ladies who have done well (before) and not gotten the recognition.
“People like props and they want to feel good when you talk about (their league)… it’s not hate. Everyone has to wait their turn.”
