14 DAY TRIAL // You would imagine that any reality star, much like Kim Kardashian, documented every second of her life even at those times when their own fans would plead with them to stop oversharing. Evelyn Lozada, one of the castmembers of VH1’s series “Basketball Wives,” is not like that.
In fact, she’s been keeping a very big secret from the media and her fans: she is pregnant with her second child. TMZ reports that the unborn child is not by ex-husband Chad Johnson, formerly known as Chad Ochocinco.
“Sources close to Lozada tell us, she's been seeing a guy for almost a year now and the relationship has gotten serious. We're told the pregnancy was planned – it's not a case of the whoops! And until now only a small number of relatives were privy to the news,” the celebrity publication writes.
Evelyn is 6 months pregnant, and the first photos of her to confirm the happy news have already emerged online. The reality star and her 20-year-old daughter, whom she had when she was just 17, are now vacationing in Hawaii.
In one particular photo, Evelyn and Shaniece are seen strolling on the beach, and Shaniece reaches out to touch her mom’s belly, while she smiles on.
The identity of the mystery man in Evelyn’s life has not been made public just yet but, considering how badly her marriage to Johnson ended, it’s no wonder she wants a bit more privacy this time.
The two married in July 2012, after she pursued him, as loyal viewers of “Basketball Wives” probably recall. In September that same year, she filed for divorce after they got into a heated argument in the car and he allegedly head-butted her.
He was arrested (and told police they had butted heads by accident) and she was rushed to the hospital, where she remained for hours while doctors investigated that the lacerations on her forehead weren’t more serious.
The dispute started when she questioned him if he was cheating on her.
VH1 had prepared a spinoff series, Ev and Ocho but, following the divorce, it was unsurprisingly canceled.
