Things went so fast. Six months later we were engaged, and I just felt a little bit of a disconnect. And the distance he lives in Atlanta, that was another thing that was really difficult... It was a lot of moving parts—I was just like, 'I don't want to keep this going just for the world.'

I sent him a Father's Day text message and we're not filtered... He laughed and he was like 'I bet you won't say that to the world,' and I said 'Don't test me because I will' — He's more like a friend.

The Basketball Wives star started dating rapper French Montana in December 2017. The romance fizzled out several months later. Evelyn confirmed she was single in an April 2018 Instagram post during her trip to Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, writing, "Single and loving it."

Evelyn Lozada and Carl Crawford's relationship lasted for over four years. The former MLB star proposed in December 2013 with a $1.4 million, 14.5-carat emerald-cut diamond ring. Carl and Evelyn Lozada's son, Carl Leo Crawford, was born in March 2014.
The pair called off the engagement in February 2017 after the retired Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder had an affair. Lozada told US Weekly in 2024 that they have a healthy co-parenting relationship.
We don't have any drama. It's near perfect, to be honest. I value that because I think for Leo, to see me and his dad have a great relationship and I can go to dinner with him and Leo, it's just us sharing time and space with him. I think it's beneficial for him.
Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson (2010-2012)

Lozada and former NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco started dating in 2010 and got engaged less than a year later. They tied the knot on July 4, 2012, but their marriage lasted only 41 days.
In August 2012, Chad was arrested after Evelyn accused him of domestic violence at their Florida mansion, which landed her in the hospital. Johnson was also fired from the Miami Dolphins following the incident.

Lozada started dating NBA star Antoine Walker in the late 1990s, and he proposed in 2006. The pair called off the engagement in 2008 after ten years together.
The former Boston Celtics power forward accused Lozada of leaving him when he got broke during his July 2014 appearance on The Russ Parr Morning Show. He made over $100 million in the NBA but filed for bankruptcy in 2010.
My thing with Evelyn is she reaped a lot of benefits from my wealth. And when it got tight, she chose to go a different direction... It's tough when you take care of some people and you make sure that they're good, their family, their daughters and then they just go left field.
The reality TV star denied leaving because of the athlete's troubled finances. In since-deleted X (Twitter) posts she wrote in 2014, Evelyn called him out for lying, saying they broke up because of his infidelity.
