People are convinced Shaq is in a secret new relationship – and they have the pictures to ‘prove’ it

NBA fans believe they have unmasked the secret new girlfriend of Shaquille O’Neal: influencer Maria Ozuna Teachey.

The influencer, who has more than 200,000 followers on Instagram, posted a picture on social media inviting fans to guess who she is with.

The man in the picture towers over her and has his hands over her breasts. His face is hidden from view. ‘Can y’all guess who(se) feet? #loveyou’ Teachey wrote as a caption. 

The picture has been deleted from her Instagram account but remains on her Facebook and NBA supporters no needed second invitation to speculate that it is the 7ft 1ins star.

‘Shaq think we can’t see him,’ one user wrote on social media. ‘Shaq and his new girlfriend’ another added.

‘Shaq ain’t got no shame,’ a third wrote alongside the picture, in a post that has now been viewed more than 14million times.

O’Neal’s feet went viral after the former NBA star revealed he spends four-figure sums on pedicures.

‘I give about $1,000 because I know my feet stink, I know they’re ugly, and I like to paint them,’ he said earlier this year.

‘I paint that s*** because it’s ugly and I want it to look pretty,’ he continued, adding that he likes having ‘sparkles and designs’ on his feet.

Shaq is now a popular analyst and last week he sparked a public sparring session with ‘NBA on TNT’ colleague Charles Barkley over criticism of Caitlin Clark.

The former Lakers center even paints his toenails, and said he likes ‘designs’ on his feet

Clark, the No 1 overall pick in the WNBA draft, has fueled a huge rise in popularity in women’s basketball. 

O’Neal said Barkley’s defense of Clark does not do her any favors. 

‘Loudmouths like Chuck are talking about hating… it’s not hating. It’s like, (Clark is) good but let’s slow it down a notch,’ O’Neal told USA Today.

‘As good as Caitlin Clark is, we’ve had a lot of young ladies who have been doing good (before) and not getting props. 

‘People like props and they want to feel good when you’re talking about (their league)… it’s not hating. Everybody has to wait their turn.’
