Fast Facts

Maiden Name: Va'shaundya "Shaunie" Nelson
Time Together: The two were together long before their December, 2002 marriage. They have four children together, while Shaunie has one other child from a previous relationship. Shaunie filed for divorce in 2007, at which time she accused Shaq of amongst other things, hiding assets in advance of a divorce trial. She later withdrew her divorce petition.

On November 9, 2009, Shaunie again filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. Shaunie has requested sole custody of their four children along with a substantial property and financial settlement.
Fun Facts: OK, so we tried to ignore this a few days ago when we posted about Gilbert Arenas' fiancee Laura Govan, but it's looking harder to ignore at this point.
Laura Govan did work as Shaq's personal assistant for a time and it appears that the working relationship blossomed into something more. According to the website TheYBF.com, a series of provocative emails has been obtained which has all signs pointing to an affair between the 8-month pregnant Govan and Shaq. You can see screen prints of the emails here.
Now look, we won't pretend to know precisely why Shaunie filed for divorce,... HOWEVER, one may be able to make the leap that on their own after reading these now public emails.

Fast Facts

Fast Facts: The two have been together on and off for eight years, after meeting in 2001, while Gilbert was still playing with the Warriors. Laura was a public relations rep for the Sacremento Kings at the time. She later went on to work with the Los Angeles Lakers, and also work briefly as a personal assistant for Shaquille O'Neal. Laura and Gilbert has two kids together(daughter Izela and son Alijah), and are currently expecting their third child due December 24th.
Fun Facts: Gilbert and Laura originally dated for a couple of years before they broke up when Gilbert signed with Washington. After the end of the relationship, Gilbert was surprised to find out that Laura was pregnant with their first child in 2003. Despite the separation, Gilbert made efforts to take a leave from the Wizards to be present for the birth of their daughter. Shortly after the birth, the two began fighting about custody and support of the daughter, which could not be resolved amicably. Once Laura realized that an agreement wouldn’t be reached easily, she hired a San Francisco law firm with the intent of serving Gilbert with a subpoena during a nationally televised game. Gilbert caught wind of this information a couple weeks before the game, and worked in conjunction with the team to devise a story that he had the flu, and was unable to play in the name of preventing public humiliation. Even though he avoided being served on TV, Gilbert was forced to spend much of 2004 hiding from process servers, who on more than one occasion served one of Gilbert’s teammates in a case of mistaken identity. After much turmoil and frustration, Gilbert and Laura began speaking and negotiated terms of custody and child support. Gilbert bought Laura her own house near him so that he could be involved, while also providing her a car and financial allowance. After meeting face to face as part of the deal, they began speaking and ultimately dating again. The two have been together since, and are engaged to be married.
