It’s going down in Evelyn Lozada‘s DMs. On Tuesday, June 30, the “Basketball Wives” veteran made an appearance on Nick Cannon‘s radio show “Nick Cannon Mornings,” where she opened up about younger men trying to shoot their shot in her private messages.

The 44-year-old reality star revealed that she was ready to settle down and hinted that she loved the idea of being with one person. Evelyn shared that she’s been single for the past three years, explaining that she usually attracts younger men.

Evelyn said at the 14:26 mark: “I attract a lot of younger guys.” Nick asked: “So, you know what comes with that?” She responded: “Yes, it’s just that..that’s..why I don’t take it serious, you know… I don’t take…” Nick replied: “Smart woman.” She continued: “I mean some of these guys are younger than my daughter. My daughter’s 27 years old.” Nick asked: “Well how is that? You open to..to like dating guys who are younger than your daughter?” Evelyn said: “No..no that’s what I’m saying, I don’t take it serious.” The Bronx native went on to share that she would not be able to explain that type of relationship to her daughter.

Some fans reacted to the interview and expressed the idea that she should expand her horizon and date someone younger than her. Someone wrote: “If he’s younger than your daughter it doesn’t matter at least give him a chance because you don’t know he might be the one for you and he might treat you right @evelynlozada 💙💙😍😍🔥🔥.” Another fan commented: “I know you seen the movie How Stella Got Her Groove Back 😂👑🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥@evelynlozada.”

Evelyn gave birth to her daughter Shaniece Hairston when she was 17. Shaniece and her father don’t appear to have a close-knit relationship. Evelyn described Shaniece’s father as some man from Brooklyn in a now-deleted tweet from 2012. At 38, the VH1 star became a mother a second time around with her now 6-year-old son Leo Crawford.

Evelyn and Leo’s father, former MLB player Carl Crawford, announced their engagement in December 2013 and broke their relationship off in August 2017. Evelyn is six years older than Carl. The pair appear to have a great co-parenting relationship, and threw their son a sports-themed birthday party last year.

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.
