Shaquille O’Neal takes great pride in raising the ‘Vampire Bloodline’. The NBA veteran is a father of six kids and often talks so highly of each one of them. However, there are some rules in the O’Neal household, especially when it comes to career choices and dating. The Big Man has specified a particular age for his boys and girls when they can start dating. However, seems like his kids have grown up to be rebels!

Shaq’s firstborn Taahirah O’Neal was recently in conversation with Jordan Davis, where she talked about her dating life and how she proved her father wrong on his dating rules. Taahirah said, “I don’t mind sharing, I am dating right now.” However, there is something that the 27-year-old is very cautious about. She unveiled that athletes are off-limits for her to date. She said, “No offense to athletes but I was raised by, raised with athletes, it’s a no-go for me. It is a no-go, y’all keep that over there, respectfully”.
