They divorced in 2007, with the now 44-year-old former Orlando Magic star now dating Rolle.

The pair seem a good match, with Rolle having played basketball at Eckerd College.

Their relationship has seen plenty of rumours that O’Neal may be willing to propose to Rolle and give marriage another go.

In March of this year, the American legend posted a comment on one of Rolle’s Instagram pictures which read: ‘Will you marry me’. Her response read: ‘Yes I will. Today, tomorrow, and forever yours.’

While confusion continues over whether or not the pair are actually set to marry, Shaq certainly seemed loved up in his latest public appearance.

These days he has plenty of spare time on his hands, his views on the NBA and the new season gaining plenty of respect due to his huge experience in the sport.

Shaq started his career with the Magic before going on to play for Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, Phoenix Suns, Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics.

He was an NBA champion in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2006 and was named most valuable player in 2000.
