CORI AS SHAUNIE'S DOUBLE

Shaunie posted two pictures of Cori. Alongside the pictures, she wrote that she did not post a birthday wish to her sister as she was "too focused" on singing her a special rendition of the "Happy Birthday" song.

The TV personality’s younger sister is shown in the black-and-white picture beaming with a smile while wearing a white shirt. She also sported a nose piercing and large hoop earrings.

TAKING A SECOND LOOK

Many fans thought that it was Shaunie in the pictures, but they realized that it was her sister when they took a second look. One female fan wrote in the comment section that they were like twins in the picture.

Another female Instagram user chimed in and wrote that she thought it was the doting mother of five, while one more fan commented that Cori looked like the reality star. One fan wrote:

"Omg you two look so much alike I had to double take because I thought it was you Shaunie! [sic]."

Aside from being a wonderful sister to Cori, Shaunie has been a devoted mother to her children. She shares Shareef, Shaqir, Me’arah, and Amirah, with retired basketball star Shaquille. She has another son, Myles from a previous relationship.

Alongside the ongoing "Basketball Wives" show, which started in 2010, Shaunie created the 2016 “Shaunie’s Home Court,” an O’Neal family-centered reality show that features her five children.

Even after their divorce in 2011, the former couple has remained good friends.

Shaunie is one proud mother. The successful career woman is happiest whenever she is surrounded by her children, who are all growing up as fine individuals.
