Alright folks, let me tell you about my quest to find out how tall Shaq’s wife is… or was, depending on how you look at things. It’s a bit of a rabbit hole, lemme tell ya.
First off, I remembered Shaq was married to Shaunie O’Neal. So, naturally, I Googled “Shaunie O’Neal height.” Boom! Google tells me she’s around 5’11”. Okay, cool. But something felt off. I remember Shaq being, well, HUGE. Like, a walking skyscraper. So, I did a little more digging.
That’s when I stumbled upon Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander. Apparently, she and Shaq were an item for a while after his marriage with Shaunie. This is where things got interesting. I started searching for “Nicole Alexander height” and “Hoopz height.”
Now, the internet is a wild place. Some sites claimed she was 5’2″. Others said 5’3″. Some even hinted at 5’5″. It was all over the place! So, I had to do some real detective work. I looked for pictures of her standing next to Shaq. And let me tell you, the dude is 7’1″! That’s like, two feet taller than the average person!
Visual clues were key here. I noticed in most pictures, she barely reached his shoulder. If she was 5’11” like Shaunie, she’d be much closer to his head! So, I leaned towards the shorter estimates.
I even checked out some old reality TV clips she was on, trying to gauge her height compared to other people on the show. Still, nothing concrete.
Finally, I pieced it all together: the photos, the rumors, the general vibe. My conclusion? Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander is probably around 5’2″ or 5’3″. Maybe a little taller with heels, but definitely not close to Shaq’s towering height. It’s all relative, right?
So there you have it: A whirlwind tour of internet sleuthing to figure out the height of Shaq’s ex-girlfriend. Was it a waste of time? Maybe. Was it entertaining? Absolutely. And now you know, just in case it ever comes up in a trivia night. You can thank me later.
