Shaq steals lovelorn Miss USA from reporter and takes her to 'Grown-ups 2' premiere

After news broke Wednesday that former Miss USA Nana Meriwether was looking for love using online dating apps,  comedian Adam Sandler came to the rescue, hooking Meriwether up with a special date for the premiere of his new movie "Grown Ups 2."

Meriwether posted a tweet earlier in the day announcing that a love connection had been made.

And then proceeded to tweet out the photo above of her and one of the film's co-stars himself, Shaquille O’Neal, posing for photos together on the red carpet of the New York event.

I finally got a date!Thanks to @AdamSandler for the hookup!Can you guess who the handsome fellow is!?He's taking me to the @GrownUpsMovie ❤️

But wait. The beauty queen already had her Prince Charming before Kazaam came along and granted her wish.

Meriwether, who said she had trouble finding a date in New York, finally did find a match earlier Wednesday in the form of New York Post reporter Frank Rosario, before the celebrity millionaire Shaq swooped in for the kill.

"Oh, I'd love to go out with you," the six-foot Meriwether told the two-inch shorter Rosario. "I'm very busy —maybe Friday," before leaving him and his wilting bouquet of flowers for seven-foot Superman and the red carpet, according to The Post.

Rosario claims he won't let his short and not so sweet blow-off get him down. He plans to prove to Meriwether that love can be found in NYC.

And you can bet he's cleared his calendar for Friday.

As for Shaq — no such worries.
