After being married for 9 years, Shaquille O’Neal and his former wife Shaunie Henderson finalized their divorce in 2011. Over the years, the Los Angeles Lakers legend has revealed that he regrets losing one of the best people in his life because of his own mistakes.

Oh, I’m glowing. I’m the happiest probably I’ve ever been, to be honest. He (Pastor Keion Henderson) is just an amazing human being. And the life we are building together, I feel myself being a better person, and I’m proud of me,” said Shaunie Henderson to former Lakers player John Salley.
