Taahirah O’Neal got it from her mamma. She’s celebrating her mom’s special day with photographic evidence that she’s her mom’s twin. Shaquille O’Neal’s eldest daughter has the knack for making everyone in her family feel special with her gestures and it shows. She’s apparently drawn inspiration from a sweet comment her brother once made to prove him right. Of course, Shareef O’Neal had to swoop in for an extra special touch as well.

Shaq’s ex and Taahirah’s mom, Arnetta Yardbourgh, celebrated her 52nd birthday on December 10. Taahirah was the first to wish her publicly with an awesome photoshoot. “happy birthday to my mommy … 52 looks damn good on you AY,” she wrote on Instagram with an added credit to the MUA who dolled them.

Both Taahirah and Arnetta sported matching black bodycon dresses with identical hair. Arnetta at 52 is giving her 27-year-old daughter a run for her money.

Arnetta Yardbourgh was showered with love and birthday wishes in the comments. She responded to the birthday wish by Nischelle Turner, the co-host of Shaq’s podcast, with, “Thanks love.”

Shareef O’Neal was also in the comments with all-encompassing heart emojis. Note that he was the one who recently mentioned Taahirah is her mom’s twin.

Shaquille O’Neal’s kids show sibling love

During the Thanksgiving season, Taahirah showed her involvement in her dad’s business with Big Chicken Shaq’s ‘Friendsgiving’ event. While everyone was hyped for her doing what she does best – promoting a business as the publicity maven she is – Shareef commented,Thought this was your mom! [heart hands emoji] twins fr.

That was so heartwarming, it elicited a sweet response from Taahirah. “That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me…ilysm.” Moreover, the two step-siblings also made sure to make the most of the holidays.

After the six O’Neal kids celebrated the Thanksgiving holiday with their dad in the Bahamas, Taahirah and Shareef were in Miami for an NBA game. She enjoyed her Miami vacation with Shareef, even though she claimed he had to be forced into taking a picture with her. Meanwhile, Myles O’Neal expressed his frustration about the FOMO they were giving him.

Taahirah’s love is only reserved for her mom and her siblings. Shaquille O’Neal and his leopard print fashion apparently have the biggest troll in Taahirah. What do you think of this sitcom-style family?

I was 7 when I saw 'Space Jam' but didn't know till the third rewatch the lead actor is actually a living basketball legend. It was while studying journalism that my friend would go on about the Warriors from Golden State. Keen on athletes' personas outside their arenas, it was Stephen Curry's confidence and philanthropy that drew me to follow the news on NBA pros and explore sports media.
