Shaq and Shaunie had a nine-year-long marriage before the two decided to call it quits. Both of them have since moved on to different partners. Shaunie got married to celebrity pastor Keion Henderson.

Now, judging by the post on Shaunie’s Instagram, it seems as if Kay and Shaunie are awfully close or even best friends. However, this may be the first time these two women were seen together. Since there hasn’t been anything reported or seen of the relationship between these two.
