Giant news! After filing for divorce nearly a year ago, Shaquille O’Neal and his wife Shaunie have decided to call off the split — and take a shot at patching up their five-year marriage.

“Things are great and we’re moving on to the good stuff,” Shaunie tells “Extra” in an exclusive update. “We’ve both learned a lot and know that our family comes first and that’s the main thing for both of us.” No harm, no foul!

The two have six children — four together, and one each prior to their 2002 wedding.

Shaq Attacks Kobe: You Ruined My Marriage!

Shaquille O’Neal took the mic at a NYC club last night, unleashing a freestyle verbal assault directed at his arch-enemy Kobe Bryant — blaming his former teammate for ruining his marriage and imploring him to “Tell me how my ass tastes.”

After spending several verses shredding Kobe apart for losing in the NBA playoffs, Shaq drops the line, “I’m a horse, Kobe ratted me out, that’s why I’m getting divorced.”

Check out the video here: TMZ

The line most likely references a comment Kobe made during his infamous 2003 rape case, when he told Colorado police that he “Should have done what Shaq does … Shaq would pay his women not to say anything.” The two became famously bitter rivals after the incident.

Calls to Kobe’s reps were not returned.

PHOENIX Sun star Shaquille O’Neal is scoring some points off the court. Despite a nasty breakup with his wife, Shaunie, last year, sources in Phoenix tell us the duo has reconciled and may get back together. O’Neal filed for divorce from his wife in 2007, claiming she was “secretive about her assets.” Our spies saw the pair strolling at the Wildlife World Zoo last weekend, and the duo looked cozy while attending Muhammad Ali’s Celebrity Fight Night charity in Phoenix on April 5. O’Neal’s rep didn’t return calls.

DIVORCE-bound Shaquille O’Neal isn’t letting the grass grow under his sizable feet. An in-the-know female cabby from South Beach who’s driven the $20 million-a-year Miami Heat center tells Steppin’ Out’s Chaunce Hayden: “Every time Shaq is in town, I get the call, and let me tell you: He’s got more women leaving his hotel room then any celebrity I’ve ever seen. Every time he stayed at the Marriott in South Beach, he had a blonde or a brunette with him.” Not all that surpris ing following Shaq’s decision in September to split from his wife of five years and mother of four, Shaunie O’Neal.
