Shaq and Wife Back Together

Shaquille O’Neal and wife Shaunie have reconciled after he filed for divorce in September.

“Neither one of us could probably answer why we were getting one in the first place,” Shaunie told the Associated Press on Thursday.

Shaq, who in June blamed former Lakers teammate Kobe Bryant for the demise of his marriage in a disparaging  rap, filed papers last year stating that Shaunie was “secretive” with her finances while she claimed Shaq had caused her “emotional pain and embarrassment.”

Shaunie continued, “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. So, we’ve agreed that before we leave Florida in a few days we’ll make sure that that’s gone away.”
