<p class="p1">Congrats are in order to Shaunie O&#8217;Neal and Pastor Keion Henderson. The couple shared that they are now engaged.</p>
<p class="p3">They first shared the exciting news with <em><a href="https://people.com/tv/shaunie-oneal-is-engaged-to-fiance-pastor-keion-henderson/">People</a></em>. Pastor Henderson popped the big question on November 11th after nearly two years of dating.</p>
<p class="p3">Shaunie spoke about the moment and said, “This was one of the most magical and special days of my life, being someone that had never officially been proposed to — like no down on one knee and asked &#8216;will you marry me&#8217; moment. And honestly, I&#8217;m the person that thought I would never in my lifetime experience a love like this. Everything about that night was incredibly amazing.&#8221;</p>
<p>She added, &#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t change a single thing. As a matter of fact, I wish I could experience it over and over again. Keion is an extraordinary man of God. He&#8217;s wise, he&#8217;s supportive, he&#8217;s so loving and attentive. He loves me and my children in a way that has changed my life and my heart. He makes me want to be better every day. And I pray that I do the same for him. This love is FOREVER and I&#8217;m honored and overjoyed to do forever with him.&#8221;</p>
<p>A rep for Shaunie says that they were on a tropical island when the engagement happened, and Pastor Henderson asked for Shaunie&#8217;s hand in marriage at 11:11 on 11/11. The 11/11 motif has been &#8220;a meaningful symbolism and point of connection,&#8221; for the newly engaged couple.</p>

<p>Pastor Henderson asked for Shaunie to be his wife with a &#8220;custom 4.22-karat radiant-cut diamond ring with 50 round-cut brilliant white diamonds set in an 18-karat white gold band&#8221; designed by Jason of Beverly Hills.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve never met a more supportive person in my life. There is an inseparable connection that is undeniable between Shaunie and I. I am unwilling to let anyone else occupy her space. The love and respect we share for each other contributes to our ever-evolving humility and growth. Which ultimately makes us more like God. Who wouldn&#8217;t want a spouse that makes you more like The Creator? She simply brings out the best in me, and wants the best for me,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Shaunie and Pastor Henderson started dating back in February 2020, after they were first introduced to each other professionally.</p>
<p>Shaunie of course was previously married to <em><a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/shaquille-oneal-gets-chased-by-a-pack-of-dogs-in-hilarious-video/">Shaquille O&#8217; Neal</a></em>, and they share for children, and she has her eldest son from a previous relationship. Pastor Henderson has a 9-year-old from a previous marriage.</p>

<p>Congrats to the happy couple!</p>
