Shaunie O’Neal was spotted in Maui, Hawaii recently boo’d up with her new man. Although, her divorce is not yet final to Shaquille O’Neal, she is wasting no time moving on to someone new.

So who is this guy? According to an email I received back in January, Shaunie is dating 22 year old model Marlon Yates. I spent most of my morning figuring out if this was the same guy (hard to tell with the facial hair) and after comparing pics that he recently tweeted (ironically wearing the same glasses), I think we have our guy. He was also one of the leads in Keri Hilson’s “Slow Dance” video and also a contestant on Janice Dickerson’s modeling show.

Anyway, back to the email: someone had a run in with Shaunie and Marlon in a restaurant around ProBowl (or was it Superbowl?). I guess he was about to turn over some tables once they recognized who he was and that he was getting cozy with Shaq’s soon-to-be ex-wife. He made such a huge scene that he was kicked out of the restaurant but the person did say that Shaunie apologized on her way out and she was really sweet.

Either way, although they painted him as somewhat of a a**hole, I will admit he is foooine! woop woop

So does this mean Shaunie O’Neal is getting her cougar on?
