Shaquille O’Neal was getting flirty with Ekaterina Lisina, the world’s tallest model.
In a video posted by Lisina, 38, on TikTok on March 5, the 6-foot-9 Russian model looked thrilled to be meeting O’Neal, 54, who seemed equally as excited to be meeting Lisina. “This is crazy,” Lisina said in the video as they posed for a photo, with O’Neal wrapping his arms around her waist.
“I’m literally, like, sweating,” she added, before the 7-foot-1 retired NBA star planted a kiss on her cheek.
O’Neal continued kissing Lisina’s cheek as she squealed before the pair posed for another photo. The video ended with Lisina giving O’Neal a hug and thanking him for the visit.
One commenter told Lisina she makes the former Laker “look like a normal guy,” while others commented on their height compatibility. “That’s a perfect couple,” one user wrote.
“They looks like they are made for each other not going to lie,” said another. Others questioned if O’Neal kissing Lisina’s cheek was “necessary” in the comments on her video.
In December, shortly after the Inside the NBA star slammed a website for posting a photo of him with a friend’s wife suggesting they were romantically involved, which came just two months after rumors he was dating a 21-year-old Only Fans model, O’Neal told PEOPLE he’s focusing on his own truth and ignoring the outside noise.
“My favorite thing is always saying, ‘image is reality,’ ” he said, adding, “nothing is going to stop me from taking pictures” with friends or fans, but when “the false narrative comes out and you get another guy taking the picture and putting it on his page…it’s all clickbait.”
O’Neal went on to say that he understands why clickbait is shared, because “everybody wants their page to be famous,” but ultimately concluded, “I’m 53, so I’m done with all that.”
