Screen Shot 2013-12-26 at 2.58.59 PMEvelyn Lozada of “Basketball Wives” is engaged to the Dodgers’ Carl Crawford. The baseball star popped the question on Christmas Day. The pregnant starlet made the announcement with an Instagram photo, simply captioning a picture of the enormous engagement ring on her finger with “YES!”

“I’m overjoyed and in complete and utter shock!” the 38-year-old told People. “What a different year and a half it has been — I’m truly happy!

A rep from her camp reported that Lozada “wasn’t expecting a proposal at all,” but when baseball star Crawford, 32, got down on one knee “it took Evelyn by surprise.”

Back in November, Lozada announced that she was pregnant but would not reveal the name of her second child’s father. In early December, she told OMG! Insider that it was Crawford, who she began dating earlier this year, and that their child was due in late March.

“I definitely would get married again,” she added in the interview. “I still believe in love .… I’m not one of those people that’s like ‘we need to get engaged, we need to get married.’ No, absolutely not. I feel like that’s going to come, just like with the baby, let it come. I’m not forcing anything, so if it happens, it happens.”

And it did. This engagement may have lightened some stress in Lozada’s fiancé’s life as he is going through a custody battle with the mother of his two young children. The lawsuit details show the L.A. Dodger is trying to keep his children’s mother, Amy Freeman, from relocating to L.A. from Arizona. Crawford has not spoken out about the recent findings, but it is believed that he hopes to prevent the move to save himself some cash; California’s child support laws would mean an increase in cash flow for Freeman.

tamarringLozada wasn’t the only one to receive a huge rock for Christmas, Vincent Herbert presented his wife, Tamar Braxton with a huge diamond.  Actually, several diamonds around one huge diamond.  Tamar shared a pic of the present on IG saying, “”I’ll say yes!&yes!&YES Vincent Herbert a zillion years…..cause we will #STAY&FIGHT!! I’ll LOVE you forever!!..man of my dreams!!! We’re so true..”

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
