Shaquille O’Neal’s divorce battle may be postponed, as his wife Shaunie Nelson has filed papers to the court denying that her marriage is irretrievably broken down.

The basketball legend filed for divorce last month claiming that his wife had been "secretive about her assets... particularly with respect to certain properties owned or titled in either (her) name alone or in other entities".

However, Nelson denies this secrecy stating that she has “nothing to hide”.

The wife of Shaquille is asking the court to grant her a three-month continuance so that she can attempt to save her marriage and ignore her husband’s divorce application.
