Shaunie O’Neal was married to Shaquille O’Neal and remarried her new husband in 2022, but how many children does she have and who are they?
An Executive Producer on the hit reality television series Basketball Wives and ex-wife of NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, Shaunie O’Neal has become a public figure in her own right. The pair met in 1996 and tied the knot in 2002, ultimately filing for divorce in 2009.
Shaunie is now remarried, which has added even more children to her blended family. We take a look at who Shaunie O’Neal’s kids are below.
Shaunie and Shaquille O’Neal share five children
Shaunie and Shaquille O’Neal had four children together. The first child Shaq and Shaunie welcomed was son Shareef Rashaun, who was born on January 11, 2000. Just over a year later, they welcomed their second child, a daughter named Amirah Sanaa, who was born on November 13, 2001.
On April 19, 2003, their third child, son Shaqir Rashaun, was born, and three years later, daughter Me’arah Sanaa was born in 2006.
Shaunie also brought another child from a previous relationship into her marriage with Shaquille. Her son Myles Nelson Baptist was born on May 8, 1997, and although he is estranged from his biological father, Shaq embraced him as one of his own children during his marriage to Shaunie.
Shaquille also has a daughter named Taahirah from his relationship with Arnetta Yardbourgh who was born on July 19, 1996.
The co-parents divorced in 2012
By 2007 however, there was trouble in paradise as Shaquille filed for divorce. The petition, which was filed by Shaq’s lawyer Ira Elegant, read that “the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken,” People reports.
Nearly a year after Shaq filed for divorce, Shaunie told the Associated Press that she and her husband planned to stop divorce proceedings. However by 2009, she had filed for separation, citing “irreconcilable differences,” and the pair reached a settlement in 2010.
Speaking of her relationship with Shaq since then, Shaunie revealed that things between the two had never been better — and that they speak daily. “Once you let things go, they don’t make you mad anymore,” she said.
Shaunie O’Neal married new husband Keion Henderson in 2022
In 2022, Shaunie got remarried to her new husband, a famous pastor called Keoin Henderson. The couple tied the knot during the VH1 three-part special Shaunie and Keion’s Destination “I Do.”

However, Keion is also the guardian of two other kids, Tynisha Marcel and Candis Clements, who came from Felicia’s previous relationship.
