Shaquille O’Neal (Basketball)
NBA basketball star Shaquille O’Neal ended his 7-year marriage to wife Shaunie Nelson ended in 2009 when he admitted of infidelity. The couple had four children from the marriage.
What if, some of the above mentioned sports stars, are living a ‘normal life’ today; they are still haunted by those dark days of infidelity and not-so true love. Even though, we can argue of not interfering in their personal zones, atleast these sports stars can lay down a symbol of true love.
If you are the idols for many, then prove it! Off the pitch.
