Shaquille O’Neal and OnlyFans’ Sophie Rain Address Dating Rumors

by

Shaquille O’Neal and Sophie Rain are not fans of speculation.

This explains why the famous basketball player and the OnlyFans creator immediately denied the rumors. It all started when TikTok user Noah Glenn Carter claimed they were a couple and shared a picture of them together at a nightclub in Las Vegas.

To be honest, the age gap feels a bit awkward,” Noah explained in a video on Sept. 23, “particularly when you have a 53-year-old attending the birthday party of someone who is 21.

Shaq responded to claims about a relationship with Sophie by commenting on Noah’s Instagram post, saying, “I don’t date that young but I will date your mom and give u a brother.”

Okay, so I’ve been *obsessively* refreshing everything, and I found some comments Noah shared – they’ve been deleted now, of course! – and apparently, he said he was DJing at Encore Beach Club when Sophie actually came to his party! Can you believe it?! It’s like a dream come true just hearing that she was even *there*! I’ve been following this story so closely, and this is HUGE!

Shaq added, “Stop tryna create rumors.”

Likewise, Sophie said her interaction with Shaq was purely platonic.

There’s a lot of untrue talk going around, but Shaq was completely respectful to me,” she shared with Us Weekly on October 1st. “It was my 21st birthday, and he truly made it a night to remember.”

The content creator added, “I laughed when I saw the rumors. Shaq’s response says it all. He was never trying to be anything more than supportive and fun.”

And for what it’s worth, Noah has since apologized for perpetuating the dating speculation. 

I was cracking up when I saw this! He responded to Shaq’s comments on his video on September 27th with, “I’m all down for a brother,” – totally joking, of course. Then he added, “I’ll have to ask my mom about that,” which just made me laugh even harder! It was such a funny exchange, and I’ve rewatched it a bunch of times.

Noah added, “You’re gonna be where I live in a week, so I apologize, Shaq.”

Shaq was previously married to Shaunie Henderson in 2002. They briefly separated in 2007, but ultimately divorced in 2009, with the divorce becoming final in 2011.

The athlete and the Basketball Wives star are parents to Shareef, 25, Amirah, 23, Shaqir, 22, and Me’arah, 19. Shaq also helps raise Shaunie’s 28-year-old son, Myles, from a previous relationship. Additionally, he has a 29-year-old daughter, Taahirah, with his former partner, Arnetta Yardbourgh.

“I’ve been with my husband for over eight years now and I think one thing I love about him is that he doesn’t let the NFL define him. I think that he is so much more off the field. While he does love football that much, he is a caring husband. He’s a caring dog dad. He’s currently outside building something in our garage. He likes to play with power tools and all of that. My husband is my best friend and I’m so grateful for his support.” —Allison, content creator and wife to retired defensive end Isaac

“I knew he was the one when I first met his mom. She has a little bit of a disability with her walking, she’s gotten a lot stronger, but how he treated his mother and how he treats women, I was like, ‘Wow.’ Almost weekly he brings me flowers. It’s kind of cliché but it’s just so cute because, after his practices from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., he still takes the time to put a smile on my face.” —Simone, Olympic gymnast and wife to football player Jonathan

It’s just… *everything* about him!-Whitney, former NFL cheerleader and wife to NASCAR driver Austin

Chris consistently leaves his baseball gear at the field, and he’s dedicated to being completely focused at home, regardless of how he or his team are doing. He’s a remarkably giving person, and that’s clear in how involved he is with our CT3 Foundation. He intentionally plans Zooms and calls about our upcoming charity events first thing in the morning before work, simply because he wants to share the responsibility and not leave everything to me. He’s just amazing.” -Mary, real estate agent and wife to Los Angeles Dodgers baseball player Chris

As a lifestyle expert, I’m constantly meeting people, and let me tell you, Justin really stands out.

I’ve seen him at events, helping kids at a baseball clinic, even spending time with patients in the hospital – and I know he always has a million things on his mind.

He sets goals and he has a plan to achieve them. I admire his ability to not let other people’s opinions about him affect his efforts to succeed. Lastly, I admire his compassion towards people. He truly is the best human I am blessed to know, and that I get to live life with.” —Brittany, former ice skater and wife to NASCAR driver Joey

He’s a natural leader who always puts the team first. He constantly pushed himself to improve and get this team to the Super Bowl. I was so impressed by everything I saw behind the scenes – I’ll always admire you both as a person and as a football player!” -Brittany, former soccer player and wife to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick

“There is no one that inspires me more to go after my dreams than him. Seeing him wake up every day with a smile on his face because he gets to call football ‘work’ is incredibly motivating. I have always admired his dedication and commitment to his craft. From pushing his body to the limit, to growing his own produce at home, every hour of his day is focused on bettering himself.
