Shaunie

One of the world's most well known Basketball Wives, executive producer Shaunie O'Neal is a force to be reckoned with. And this season, she moves to Miami for the summer and brings the heat. Beautiful, confident, ambitious, and compassionate are only a few adjectives that can describe this devoted mother of five, who began her career in film marketing. Shaunie's goal with her series was to shed light on the complex lives of the women who stand beside these larger-than-life professional athletes and to show that it's not all glitz and glamour. An emerging entrepreneur set to launch her own shoe line, as well as a philanthropist who dedicates her spare time to helping others (especially women and children) Shaunie shines both on and off the screen. Having been married to one of the most famous basketball players of all time, Shaquille O'Neal, Shaunie is Queen Bee to the rest of the wives, who swarm to her for advice and guidance.

Royce

Royce has been in the spotlight nearly her entire life. Born and raised in Orlando loving all things sports, she is a former gymnast, competitive cheerleader, and dancer for professional basketball teams in both Miami and Orlando. She is the founder/owner of her own burlesque dance company, Fantashique, which travels all over Florida. The only thing more colorful than her dance moves is her personality. She is a firecracker, a strong-minded, driven woman who is no stranger to confrontation. While she's a sweetheart most of the time, Royce can turn it on in a hot second and rarely bites her tongue. In the future, she looks forward to pursuing an acting career. This season, she continues to try to debunk the negative stereotype that the wives have against team dancers, and seems to have found love in the most unlikeliest places.

Jennifer

Jennifer "Red Carpet" Williams is no stranger to the highlife having grown up in South Orange, NJ, an upscale suburb just outside of New York City. So it didn't surprise many when she ended up marrying a wealthy and successful professional basketball player, Eric Williams, whom she first met in 2000. Her glitzy lifestyle extends into her professional life in being a high-end real estate agent and wildly successful business owner of the upscale women's work out company Flirty Girl Fitness. Behind all the bling, however, Jennifer supports several charities and even founded Project Save the World to help fight several different causes. Jennifer keeps her friends close and guards them viciously. Her mercurial relationship with hubby Eric shows the unique challenges and hard work it takes to be the wife of a professional basketball player. Their struggle to save their marriage becomes a compelling focus in Season 2, with things coming to a crisis point.

Suzie

No party in Miami really begins until Suzie Ketcham arrives. Having lived in New Jersey, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, and now Miami, Suzie is connected all across the country and is the social butterfly of the basketball wives. She met professional basketball player Michael Olowokondi while attending college at Pepperdine University and was pregnant with their first child her senior year in college. They would have two wonderful children and be together for 10 years before finally splitting. Having been with an athlete for that long, Suzie knows the ins and outs of the "game" and is extremely protective and loyal to her friends. If she senses that one of her ladies is being attacked, she'll be the first girl on the scene ready to have their back. Now, fresh off her break up, Suzie has her eyes set on her multiple charities, her amazing children, her luxury real estate agent ambitions, and of course, tackling the nightclub scene with her best group of basketball wives. Her Season 2 starts with her dealing with ramifications of a Wives group trip to Vegas.

Evelyn

Evelyn Lozada was born in Brooklyn, raised in the boogie-down Bronx and is always in a New York state of mind. Raised solely by her mother, this Puerto Rican beauty always aspired to break out of her relatively small world and always dreamt of something bigger and better. Evelyn had her first taste of the entertainment world when she took a job as an assistant to a well known entertainment attorney to the stars and would eventually meet and become engaged to the basketball star, Antoine Walker. Evelyn moved to her adopted hometown of Miami in 2007 and now co-owns Dulce (and dulceshoes.net) an upscale shoe boutique located in Coral Gables, Florida. Dulce now allows Evelyn to live out her childhood dreams of fashion. In addition to being a socialite that supports many charitable causes, Evelyn takes great pride in being a devoted mother and businesswoman. She is highly regarded as a fashionista and style trendsetter. Even before she founded Dulce, Evelyn was photographed not just because of ex-fiancé's game, but because of her own impressive "shoe game". Now single and wanting another child, Evelyn is on the hunt for a new lover.
