In 2022, Shaquille O’Neal revealed during an interview with “The Pivot Podcast” that he favors his daughters more than his sons. “I like my girls a little bit better,” O’Neal shared (via People). “Because as a man you have to protect, provide, and love your woman. I trust them more because they’re more sensitive, they’re more caring and they’re thinkers.” This contrasts with his perception of his sons. “You know how boys are,” he added. “My boys, you bring something in front of them, and they’re gone.”

O’Neal also plans to allow his daughters to live with him for as long as they want. “I tell my boys when y’all get 18, you all have to go,” he added. “Girls can stay as long as they want … Go to college, get your master’s, get your doctorate, I’ll pay for it, take your time.” Providing eternal housing to his daughters isn’t the only way he’s shown them support, however. In February 2023, O’Neal tagged along on his daughter Me’Arah’s recruiting trip to LSU, where O’Neal once attended. During the outing, Me’Arah, an already accomplished basketball player, and O’Neal grew quite friendly with current LSU star Angel Reese.
