‘No’: Evelyn Lozada Reveals She’s Off the Market

It’s been a minute since “Basketball Wives” star Evelyn Lozada has been publicly linked to a romantic partner, and it is quite possible it will remain that way as she plays coy about having a special someone in her life.

While on a flight to New York, Lozada took some time to answer questions from the public in her Instagram stories. She delivered answers to everything from how her 21-day fast is going, if she would entertain getting back with an ex and her current relationship status.

To the surprise of some, Lozada said she was not single. Many questioned if there was someone special in her life at the top of the year when she shared a post in her IG stories that read, “A good morning text doesn’t only mean ‘good morning.’ It has a silent message that says, ‘I think of you when I wake up.’ “

Days later she cleared the air by saying she was single, only to feed the rumor mill again on Jan. 21 when she posted a photo of herself captioned, “Lunch date with my babe.”

The 44-year-old Lozada has had her share of relationships. For a decade she dated former NBA star Antoine Walker before joining “BBW.” She dated and married former NFL wide receiver Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, though there marriage was annulled less than 60 days in following a domestic situation in 2012.

The following year she began dating MLB standout Carl Crawford; months later they announced their engagement. In 2014 they welcomed their only child together, Carl Leo Crawford. After four years together, and a reality show, their engagement came to an end in August 2017 after allegations of Crawford cheating. Since the split, Lozada has only been publicly linked to rapper French Montana.

So, is she or is she not single? Only the ‘Livin’ Lozada’ star truly knows.

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.
