Evelyn Lozada Engaged To MLB Player Carl Crawford

Evelyn Lozada is switching sports allegiances — and getting married to boot.

The 38-year-old "Basketball Wives" star announced her engagement to Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Carl Crawford on Christmas Day.

Lozada, who is seven months pregnant with Crawford's child, is coming off a short-lived marriage to former football star Chad (Ochocinco) Johnson.

The pair had been filming a planned VH1 reality series, "Ev & Chad," just over a month into their marriage when Johnson headbutted his new bride during a fight — reportedly over a receipt for condoms she found in the truck of his car.

She filed for divorce shortly after the August 2012 incident.

Lozada had become entangled with Johnson on the rebound after a 10-year relationship with NBA forward Antoine Walker. She also has a daughter, 20-year-old Shaneice Lozada, from a previous relationship.

The Brooklyn-born Lozada broke the news on her Instagram account, posting a picture of a gargantuan 14.5 carat diamond engagement ring on her finger with the caption, "Yes!"



Crawford pulled out all the stops: designed by Jason of Beverly Hills, the ring is valued at $1.4 million, TMZ reported.

He can afford it. Crawford, 32, is rounding the third year of a seven-year $142 million contract he originally signed with the Boston Red Sox.
