Shaquille O’Neal and Nicole ‘Hoopz’ Alexander
Shaquille O’Neal and Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander’s relationship may have ended years ago, but it certainly made headlines while it lasted. They began dating around 2010, and despite their noticeable height difference—he’s over seven feet, she’s 5'2"—they seemed like a well-matched pair in terms of chemistry and energy.
Unfortunately, the relationship ended in 2012 after a reported argument escalated. Shaq asked Nicole to leave their shared home, and that was the end of their romance. Despite the split, Nicole later spoke kindly about Shaq in interviews, proving that sometimes even high-profile relationships can end with grace and mutual respect.
