Shaquille O’Neal Advises Jason Kelce on Retirement: ‘Don’t Repeat My Mistakes’

Shaquille O’Neal had some words of wisdom for Jason Kelce when they hung out recently: “Don’t be an idiot like me.”

Page Six asked the NBA legend, 51, at his annual Super Bowl party, Shaq’s Fun House, at XS nightclub in the Wynn Las Vegas hotel Friday night if he offered the Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, any advice should he follow through on his alleged retirement plans.

“I just told him to enjoy his family,” O’Neal told us.

“Don’t be an idiot like me. I made a lot of dumb mistakes and lost my family, so I just told him to enjoy his beautiful wife [Kylie Kelce], enjoy his kids and just, you know, be happy.”

The former Los Angeles Lakers player was seemingly referencing his failed marriage with ex-wife Shaunie O’Neal.

The exes were married from 2002 to 2011– the same year Shaquille retired. They also share five children together.

In 2022, Shaquille publicly blamed himself for their split, revealing at the time he hadn’t been “protecting those vows” during their marriage.

“Sometimes when you live that double life, you get caught up,” he previously told “The Pivot Podcast.”

“I’m not going to say it was her. It was all me. … I was just being greedy. I had the perfect situation.”

Shaquille told Page Six that he really connected with Jason because they are both family-oriented.

“Jason is a beautiful guy. I can tell that we’re the same people,” the Taylor Swift superfan said.

“He has great admiration for his mother and father — as do I. He’s a family guy. He’s happy for his brother [Travis Kelce]. They competed. They fought. It’s the same thing me and Kobe [Bryant] did — that’s how you raise champions.”

Jason shared via the X account for his and Travis’ podcast, “New Heights,” this week that he enjoyed a meal with Shaquille — and trolled Charles Barkley in the process.

The father of three has been juggling podcasting amid his NFL career but it was recently revealed that he may be hanging up his jersey for good after this season.
