Shaq to blame

Shaquille had in a past interview admitted to having been to blame for his marriage to Shaunie, failing.

Shaunie's adult sons Shaqir, Shareef and Myles stood in place of their grandfather who passed on in February.

According to People she said:

“I just lost my dad in February. So, I really struggled with how I was going to get down the aisle. Losing my dad during the planning of this wedding was a lot, so my sons handed me off.”

Celebrated gospel singer Yolanda Adams performed during the wedding that had nearly 200 invited guests.

Page Six reported the bride and groom wore a sparkling gown and veil by Jean Louis Sabajai and a cream Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo.

The newlyweds got engaged in November 2021 after nearly two years of dating.

Previously Shaunie had been married to Shaquille, 50, from 2002 to 2011.
