During one of her conferences, the Basketball Wives star admitted that while she and her husband have different ways of praying, God listens to them the same way.

Shaunie said how she “intentionally try to be a better person and try to be a better woman of God and try to do better and speak better and better.” “So I think that there are a lot of people like me that might not have the perfect words and know all the Bible scriptures. They’re you know, like, not know how to pray like him (her husband). But I can speak to God the way I speak to God and He hears it, just like he hears my husband’s prayer. “

She captioned it, “I believe that by constantly working on improving myself, I can inspire and help others to do the same…”

The mother of four made headlines with her one comment in her book, about her past relationship with Shaquille O’Neal.

Shaunie Henderson expressed doubts about her love for Shaquille O’Neal

In her first book, ‘Undefeated, Changing the Rules and Winning on My Own Terms’, the mother of five expressed how, at one point in her previous marriage to Shaquille O’Neal, she felt unsure whether she loved him. “Looking back, I don’t know that I was ever really in love with the man,” O’Neal said. Unlike some netizens who criticized the producer for her comments, her family was very supportive.

O’Neal made a special post on Instagram to support his ex-wife and wrote that he “understands” her feelings. The O’Neal kids also supported her. In another part of the book, she stated that the Los Angeles Lakers legend was initially unhappy with Shaunie for not telling him about her engagement to Henderson before it became public.

However, later, O’Neal eventually understood her stance and was “respectful” when he met Keion. Everything Shaunie has done in her life has inspired the people around her, and she continues to do so with her work.
