NBA icon Shaquille O’Neal‘s ex-wife, Shaunie, continues to live her best life with Pastor Keion Henderson. She’s squeezing in quality time for herself and her loved ones between her jet-setting life as a media mogul. She also manages to enthrall her 1.8 million Instagram followers with some great content. The 48-year-old tends to sprinkle a few words of wisdom among her awesome Instagram posts. And that was the case again as she was seen enjoying her drive in a $5.99 billion rich brand’s unique car.

It comes shortly after Henderson reminisced about the memories she’s made this year with her husband. The Basketball Wives star seems to be having a ton of fun this NBA offseason.

Shaunie celebrates her beginnings

Shaquille O’Neal and the former Shaunie Nelson were married from 2002 to 2011. Despite separating, there’s been no ill will between the co-parents of five children. Though there was that awkward moment when Shaq declared Shaunie was “still my wife,” he approved of Pastor Keion.

Shaunie and Keion married in May 2022 and celebrated her first wedding anniversary this year. They celebrated Keion’s birthday on July 6 two months later. Both shared glimpses from their memorable European vacation and revealed what they enjoyed. Capri, Italy, is special to both of them for taking them back to their honeymoon last year.
