Shaquille O’Neal & Wife Have a Girl
Shaquille O’Neal and his wife, Shaunie Nelson, welcomed a new daughter, Me’arah Sanaa O’Neal, on Monday.
The baby girl, who weighed 8 lbs., 1 oz., and was 21 1/2 inches long, was born at 4:57 a.m. in Miami.
O’Neal, 34, made it back from Chicago, where his team, the Miami Heat, were playing the Chicago Bulls, in time for the birth.
“Shaq is thrilled,” a source said.
The couple already have three children together, sons Shareef, 6, and Shaqir, 3, and daughter Amirah, 4. O’Neal has a daughter Taahirah, 9, and Nelson has a son Myles, 8, from previous relationships.
O’Neal is expected to play Tuesday in Game 5 of the Heat, Bulls playoff series, which is tied at two games apiece.
“What most people don’t know about (O’Neal) is what a great dad he is,” Mindy Weiss, the party-planner who organized a recent baby shower for the couple, told PEOPLE in March. “He loves having lots of children, and I think he’d like to have more. But they’ve decided this is their last one, since they now will have six children.”
The basketball great and Shaunie, 31, wed in 2002, in a private ceremony before 248 guests at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Why are you so concerned? People have a tendency to look down at others, and I’ll never understand why. You just keep yourself holy and let God do all the exposing.

I agree with TI whole heartedly. regardless of Shaq’s actions that is up to his wife and God to decide his fate not yours. Just be happy for him and his family and if shaq is cheating pray for him not down him!
