Evelyn Lozada’s Son Takes After His Father In More Ways Than One

Evelyn Lozada‘s 4-year-old son Leo seems to already be taking after his father, MLB player Carl Crawford, by seemingly choosing the baseball route.

The “Basketball Wives of L.A.” star took to Instagram this week and shared a video of her son’s athletic abilities. In the video, little Leo appeared to be a pro at baseball as he adjusted his swinging formation to gear up and hit the ball. He took two small practice swings with his baseball bat before striking the ball perfectly and knocking it out of the park.

“Wow,” Lozada can be heard yelling in the background while she cheered for her 4-year-old.

She also added in her photo caption, “It don’t mean a thing if you ain’t got that swing 💫⚾️ #CarlLeoCrawford.”

Fans were amazed by little Leo’s “natural” athletic ability to play baseball.

“Yesssssss! He hit the hell outta that ball like a lil pro. 🙌,” one fan commented.

“What a natural!I was in awe to see his swing and didn’t miss..💕😊,” another added.

A slew of fans said the 4-year-old definitely picked up his batting skills from his father Crawford.

“It’s in the DNA! 👏🏽 little man takes after his dad,” a fan said.

“Next MLB player ⚾️  superstar just like his father! He looks like a natural!!” another exclaimed.

Lozada and Crawford welcomed their son into the world in March 2014. The mother of two delivered her baby boy naturally after just four pushes. She told People magazine, “I’m excited about being a mommy all over again. This is something I’ve been wanting for years and I can’t believe it’s finally happening.”

Lozada and the former Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder kept their relationship a secret until Crawford proposed to her in December 2013. However, the ex-couple called it quits in February 2017 due to the athlete’s “infidelity issues.” A rep for the “BBW” star said Lozada and Crawford were focused on co-parenting and raising their son.

Both parents still remain friends and even took a family portrait with their son in December after surprising him at school for winning “Star of the Week.”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
