Shaq's wife says couple is calling off divorce proceedings

WINDERMERE, Fla. -- The wife of Phoenix Suns center Shaquille O'Neal said Thursday that her marriage to the NBA star is on the mend.

During an interview about the launch of her new video-sharing website, Shaunie O'Neal told the Associated Press that the couple plans to stop divorce proceedings soon.

"Neither one of us could probably answer why we were getting one in the first place," Shaunie O'Neal said.

Shaquille O'Neal filed for divorce in Miami-Dade Circuit Court in September 2007, after nearly five years of marriage.

"Things have been going so great, that someone actually had to remind us that 'Hey, you do remember those papers are still there.' Literally, it was days ago," Shaunie O'Neal said. "So, we've agreed that before we leave Florida in a few days we'll make sure that that's gone away."

The couple has six children: four together, and each had one of their own before the Dec. 26, 2002, wedding.

"The kids and I kind of learned about the divorce at the same time," Shaunie O'Neal said. "So that was hard. That was probably the worst part of the whole thing, was being able to deal with how hurt the whole kids were."

Shaquille O'Neal's divorce attorney, Ira Elegant, did not immediately return a phone message left at his office.

Shaunie O'Neal's latest venture, a video-sharing website geared to showcase children and their talents, is set to formally launch Sept. 1. The site was created to give families a kid-friendly, safe place to upload and share videos, she said.

Shaunie O'Neal said she developed the idea because she wanted to be able to share her own children's activities with her family members.

"I get the complaint of 'Oh, I wish I could see that,'" she said. "There was nowhere I could find that was just safe, where maybe a slip of the finger would take us somewhere where I don't want the kids to see or hear."

Yup yup.

And Shaq has kids that oddly get left outta the total somewhere. I thought she only had 3 with him. I dunno, who can keep track of these reproducin' fools.

Why do a lot of these pro athletes/movie stars have to have a damn baby with everybody they sleep with?

hokie said:

It's unbelievable that in the day of AIDS and other STDs these fools are actually ridin' raw. Babies are the least of their worries. But you'd think that with the potential financial loss of having a bunch of kids they'd wrap that shit up. Dumb asses.

SCNDLS said:

I don't even want to think of the scary places their stuff has been.



You crack me up.

hokie said:

Ewww, me neither. Remember what Superhead said about him in her book?

hokie said:

No but really. Shaq has a baby mama in the Dallas area and one in the Houston area. He even owns a house and Krispy Kreme in a local suburb. So I don't know why that kid's always left out of the sum toto of his progeny.

I didn't read it, what'd she say? I've heard he's itty bitty.

SCNDLS said:

Wonder if he'd be my babydaddy? I don't want his money. Just free KK doughnuts.

SCNDLS said:

It was a graphic description of how sweaty and slimy he gets during sex.

babynoz said:

I wish you could see my face right now. Ugh!

Someone has a severe obsession with celebrity divorces/separations.
