Tuesday evening, Shaquille O’Neal paused his NBa Finals responsibilities in order to have dinner with social media celebrity Brittany Renner.

A source told TMZ that the couple dined at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles, describing the event as “nothing more than two friends catching up.”

O’Neal sported trainers, jeans, and a zip-up hoodie, whereas Renner donned a vibrant orange purse and a white gown.

The two reportedly arrived at 6:00 p.m. local time, dined together, and departed at 8:00 p.m., according to TMZ.

A source told TMZ that despite the fact that the video and photographs of the two have caused a stir on the internet, “there was nothing romantic going on” between them.

The two individuals, who are reportedly close acquaintances, shared a dinner at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Recently, O’Neal was in Colorado for NBa TV’s coverage of the Denver Nuggets versus Miami Heat 2023 NBA Finals.

Renner and O’Neal are both the parents of children from previous relationships. Renner and Charlotte Hornets actor PJ Washington are the parents of a child.

Shaq, meanwhile, is the father of four children with his ex-wife, Shaunie O’Neal, whom he wed in 2002 and divorced in 2011.

This week’s most recent Instagram post by Renner features her in the backseat of a vehicle.

In April, O’Neal admitted responsibility for the dissolution of his marriage on ‘The Pivot Pocast’ podcast, stating that he “messed up.”

“I was simply greedy,” he explained on the program. “Everything was ideal in my situation.” Despite continuing to bear children, my wife remained more refined than a beaker.

“I tried everything, and I make no excuses; I acknowledge my error.”
