Basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal and Hailey Welch, the woman known on social media as the "Hawk Tuah" girl, were seen together last weekend at a separate event.

O’Neal posted photos of himself with the 22-year-old on his DJ Diesel account on X while the two were in Nashville, Tennessee. The photos took the internet by storm, but apparently the former Los Angeles Lakers superstar had some good advice for the young woman new to viral fame.

The four-time NBA champion told Welch to keep a "smart team" around her to combat those trying to take advantage of her sudden rise to fame and ignore the hateful comments she’s received on her videos, sources told TMZ Sports.

Welch recently broke her silence about her fame on Barstool Sports’ podcast "Plan Bri Uncut" with Briana LaPaglia. She dispelled some of the rumors about her, including that she was a teacher and that she got fired over her viral remarks.

In a separate video posted to her personal social media account, Welch said there would be no OnlyFans in her future.

"Stop asking me about the link in bio for my OnlyFans," she said on Instagram. "I don’t have an OnlyFans and there’ll never be an OnlyFans. I just make funny jokes, that’s all I do."

Welch has been seen cashing in on some merchandise based off of the sexual innuendo she made in a man-on-the-street interview she did.

If you scanned the Wimbledon crowd, you might have caught a glimpse of a woman strikingly similar to Kate Middleton, the tournament's most anticipated potential attendee.

On day four, the Princess of Wales' mother and father, Carole and Michael Middleton, were spotted in the crowd, enjoying the grass court matches.

Carole wore a floral dress beneath a fitted white blazer, a nice contrast to Michael's blue suit and yellow tie. They watched attentively from their box.

Over the years, Kate Middleton has attended the tournament and made headlines for her unique outfits and hysterical, animated facial expressions. 

British royals expert Hilary Fordwich recently told Fox News Digital that the royal wants to return to the tournament.

"Her next goal is... to attend the Wimbledon Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis Club starting July 1," Fordwich expressed. "As the most avid tennis fan and patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, she usually attends in the Royal Box to watch most major matches, later handing out trophies to winners."

Fordwich’s comments preceded those of All England Club Chair Debbie Jevans, who told the Telegraph Sport that they'd give Middleton "as much flexibility as possible" as she continues to fight cancer. An announcement of who would present the trophies could come as late as the morning of the finals, to accommodate Middleton's schedule.

Last month, Middleton attended the Trooping the Colour ceremony, her first major royal event since announcing her cancer diagnosis in March. Days before, she gave her first lengthy update on her condition since her original pre-taped message was released, indicating she would be in attendance for the celebration for King Charles III, who is also battling cancer.
