Las Vegas, October 4, 2025 – After a photo of Shaquille O’Neal and 21-year-old OnlyFans model Sophie Rain at Rain’s birthday party went viral, the NBA legend’s fan base was in an uproar.
In a shocking TikTok video by Noah Glenn Carter, O’Neal initially joked that he would date Carter’s mother and “give you a brother”. But insiders at the party revealed that, in a separate interview with the New York Post, Shaq “revealed that he has a close but not public relationship” with Rain, causing a stir.
Sophie Rain also had some surprising comments: despite previously claiming that she was just a “big fan of Shaq”, an anonymous source from close friends said she had just returned from a private vacation with Shaq in Miami, where the two were said to have had “private and discreet” time.
Fans are arguing fiercely on social media platforms, with the hashtag #ShaqAndSophie spreading across TikTok, X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.
Neither Shaquille O’Neal nor Sophie Rain have yet made any official comments on the “secret dating” news. However, many PR experts believe this could be a viral strategy to attract attention, as both have a huge fan base on social media.
