Marriage and Divorce with Chad Johnson

In July 2012, Evelyn Lozada married former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson. The marriage was short-lived and ended in September 2012 after a domestic violence incident. Johnson was arrested on charges of domestic battery after reportedly headbutting Lozada during an argument. The altercation occurred following a dispute about a receipt for condoms that Evelyn found, which led to a confrontation.

Lozada was taken to the hospital, and three days later, she filed for divorce. Johnson was sentenced to one year of probation for the incident. He also served 30 days in jail after slapping his lawyer during a courtroom proceeding. Although images of Evelyn's injuries were submitted to the court, the separation details were kept confidential due to a private prenuptial agreement. Johnson did not publicly apologize or comment substantially on the incident or the subsequent divorce.

Past and Subsequent Relationships

Before her marriage to Chad Johnson, Lozada was in a long-term relationship with NBA player Antoine Walker. Their relationship lasted nearly a decade. During and following their separation, it was reported that Walker gave Evelyn $560,000. Questions later arose about whether this transaction was intended to hide assets from creditors, as Walker faced financial difficulties and eventually filed for bankruptcy. Lozada denied any wrongdoing, stating that the money was used for bills and that she sold her engagement ring to help fund her boutique business.

In 2013, Lozada got engaged to former MLB player Carl Crawford. The engagement occurred while she was seven months pregnant with their son, Carl Crawford Jr. Although the couple remains unmarried, they have maintained a relationship since the engagement. The ring Crawford gave was reported to be valued at approximately $1.4 million.

Children and Personal Life

Evelyn Lozada is a mother of two. Her eldest daughter, Shaniece, was born when Evelyn was 18 years old. Shaniece has pursued a modeling career and has also appeared in television segments alongside her mother. Evelyn has stated that Shaniece’s father was a professional basketball player, though she has not disclosed his identity.

With Carl Crawford, Evelyn has a son named Carl Crawford Jr. Following the child's birth, rumors circulated suggesting ulterior financial motives behind her decision to have a child with a wealthy athlete. These claims, including derogatory remarks, were never substantiated and are generally considered speculative. Evelyn has consistently maintained her position as a dedicated mother and has been involved in philanthropic and entrepreneurial ventures alongside her media appearances.
