‘Twins!’ Evelyn Lozada’s Son Leo Looks Just Like Dad, Reality Star’s Ex Carl Crawford

Evelyn Lozada recently uploaded a photo posing with her son, Leo and her ex-fiancé Carl Crawford. The pic not only proved the pair is winning at the co-parenting thing but also showed exactly why Leo is Carl Jr.

“Our baby Leo is ‘Star of The Week’ ⭐️⚾️💙 #CarlLeoCrawford #HeWasSurprised #CoParentingLife lol 🙏🏽❤️,” the “Basketball Wives” star captioned the image uploaded to Instagram Monday, Dec. 17.

The 4-year-old was the best kid in the class for the week and made a collage showcasing his family to present in front of his peers. To mark the occasion, Lozada, Crawford and Leo’s aunt and uncle surprised him in class, leading Carl Jr. to race up to his namesake father and gave him a hug. Afterward, the group went out to eat and Carl Jr. enjoyed a treat of pancakes, scrambled eggs and strawberries.

Fans who saw the sweet moment remarked on how much the toddler looks like his dad and realized just why he was named after the retired Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder.

“If he don’t look like his daddy @evelynlozada you were just the vessel! But a powerful vessel #momstrong ❤️”

“omg he looks like daddy 🥰 he looks so happy 😍🥰”

“I always thought Leo looked like you. With him sitting next to his father, they are twins. 😍”

“Twins!!”

“I LOVE LOVE LOVE when parents are able to co-parent ❤️ he looks just like his father!”

“Omg they’re twins!! He’s getting SOOOO big! I feel like you just had him 🙏🏼😍”

“Thought he looked like you but nope he’s definitely his dads twin.”

Lozada and Crawford got engaged to be wed in December 2013 but called things off in August 2017.

“They did break up but it was over infidelity back in February,” Lozada’s representative told UsWeekly at the time. “Right now they are focused on being responsible and loving parents to their 3-year-old kid.” The rep also noted the former couple “do remain friends” but were not living together.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
