<p id=”par-2_50″>Sophie Rain, born Sept. 22, 2004, in Miami, Florida, is an internet personality who rose from modest beginnings to become one of <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/bella-thorne-just-ruined-onlyfans-for-users-depending-on-the-platform.html/”>OnlyFans’ highest earners</a>. In her first year on the platform, she reportedly grossed about $43 million, a milestone that led to widespread media attention, according to <a href=”https://www.enstarz.com/articles/237706/20241205/sophie-rain-virgin-onlyfans-creator-who-earned-43m-first-year-says-shes-devout-christian.htm?utm_source=chatgpt.com” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Enstarz</a>. </p>
<p id=”par-3_52″>According to <a href=”https://www.tmz.com/2025/10/01/shaquille-oneal-denies-sophie-rain-dating-rumors/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>TMZ</a>, she recently celebrated her 21st birthday — and a photo proved that Shaquille O’Neal was there. Rains posted a photo of her leaning against Shaq while holding her middle finger up to the camera. “Look who I met,” she posted with the photo, along with the eyes emoji. </p>
<p id=”par-4_43″>The photo spread like wildfire all over the internet. And it prompted suspicion that Shaq and Rain were romantically involved. Internet personality Noah Glenn Carter covered the story and commented on Shaq and Rain’s 32-year age difference. This resulted in Shaq commenting. </p>
<p id=”par-5_27″>“<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/shaq-doesnt-want-his-daughters-dating-nba-players.html/”>I don’t [date] that young</a> but I will date your mom and give u a brother,” Shaq commented. In another comment, he added, “Stop tryna create rumors.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_13″>Sophie also noted that nothing romantic is going on between her and Shaq.</p>
