Shaquille O’Neal, who is currently finalizing divorce from his wife Shaunie O’Neal (photos here), and one of his mistress, Vanessa Lopez, who is rumored to be negotiating her own reality show, were caught via some flirty text messages.

According to Radar, Shaq’s wife had a private investigator to find some evidence of her husband’s affairs like text messages or e-mails. When Shaunie read some text exchanges between Shaq and Vanessa, she decided she would file for divorce. If you are expecting something juicy and dirty like Tiger Woods and Joslyn James’ text messages, you will be disappointed.

The texts messages, dated between Sept. 4 and Sept. 9 of 2009, were received on Lopez’s iPhone. One of them dated Sept. 4 at 12:45am reads:

Lopez: “I have always been good to you. I am a very private person. I never spoke about us to anyone. Ever! Don’t deserve that from you. I am not wining. I just miss you so settle down.”
Shaq: “Well just say that then I’m a c u tomorrow.”

Another text, dated Sept. 6 at 12:28am reads:
Lopez: “I hope you had a wonderful day! I wish you were here papi ”
Shaq: “Tomorro”
Lopez: “I will make sure I put on something very sexy for you ”

And another, dated Sept. 7 at 12:01am reads:
Shaq: “Hey baby I’m still wit da babies. I’m sorry I’m a c u when I get bak”
Lopez: “I think you are such an amazing person inside and out. I truly wish you the best in life. No one deserves it more than you.”
Shaq: “Thanks baby I will make it up to u”

Vanessa recently decided to sue Shaq for harassment when he allegedly indirectly threatened her because she thought she was pregnant with his child after maintaining a sexual affair with the NBA star for more than five years. Shaq also had an affair with a Swedish model, Dominica Westling (photos here), who refuses to speak claiming she loves him.
