Hoopz has captivated fans with a cheeky video celebrating her 40th birthday, prompting some to bring up her ex Shaquille O’Neal

TV Personality Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander had recently got the internet buzzing after showing off her impressive skills on social media. The actress celebrated her 40th birthday on Wednesday July 13 by sharing an epic video of herself doing somersaults and cartwheeling up and down a hotel corridor in a green dress. Between gymnastics, a drunk Hoopz showed off her ballerina skills and flexed her pointed toes after attending a Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas.

“Flippin’ into my 40s like,” she captioned the video on Twitter and Instagram. “I had the best time in Vegas with some of my best friends and by far the most fun thing we did was catch one of the shows!! See you Vegas.”

She continued: “Off to the next town. hp Don’t be surprised the next time you see me on a cirque show.”

Hoopz continued to turn in the hallway, though she revealed the lower half of her body and her bare thong. “My butt,” said the Detroit native, laughing for the camera. The video also included footage of a male shop window and other photos of her friends and family.

Fans on social media enjoyed the acrobatic performance, including hundreds on Instagram who said “Happy Birthday” to Hoopz. Many were shocked to learn she was turning 40 and mentioned how beautiful she was. One person tweeted, “I’m ashamed I forgot how beautiful this woman is.”

But most couldn’t help but bring up their ex-fiancé Shaquille O’Neal. “I see what Shaq saw,” wrote another person.

Another tweeted, “I know for a fact Shaq got the best rides of his life from Hoopz.”

Hoopz and the retired Los Angeles Lakers player had a tempestuous relationship that lasted three years. The former couple appeared on an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2011, where the 5ft 2 actress picked up her 7ft 1 fiancé. The two were expected to walk down the aisle, but after a falling out in 2013, they called it quits.

After making her debut on VH1’s dating show Flavor of Love, Hoopz appeared on the competition series I Love Money. She has since also built her acting resume with appearances in films such as Ghetto Stories, the First Lady trilogy and the Torrey Hart-Executive produced film “Turnt”. According to IMBD, she will star in the upcoming movies Beach Chain and The Regiment.
