But disaster struck after a few weeks when Tanya compared Shaq to a previous boyfriend and then swanned off to Casa Amor, where she grew close to Martin. Upon returning with Martin on her arm, Shaq was understandably heartbroken by Tanya’s actions but soon got back together when her relationship with Martin fizzled out.
