Basketball Wives: Is Ochocinco engaged to one of the 'Basketball Wives?'

Looks like Chad Ochocinco may not be appearing in a second season of his VH1 dating reality show.

TMZ has reported that The Cincinnati Bengals football player and star of “Ochocinco: The Ulitmate Catch” has gotten engaged to his girlfriend of four months, “Basketball Wives" cast member Evelyn Lozada.

While neither has confirmed the impending nuptials, Lozada did tweet a picture of a massive diamond ring on what appears to be her hand with the message, “I'm no rabbit but 10 carats looks good on me!! Let the hating begin." In response to tweeted inquiry about her being pregnant and engaged, Lozada tweeted, “No not prego that was a jokey joke...lol.”

Perhaps Lozada can switch shows, as VHI also has a new series titled “Football Wives.” The reality TV star was formerly engaged to former NBA player Antoine Walker.

The new season of “Basketball Wives” starts on December 12 and will feature Lozada and Ochocinco’s relationship which, as she says in the show’s trailer, started when they met on Twitter.

Evelyn Lozada Dating Ochocinco

LOS ANGELES – Evelyn Lozada is dating Ochocinco prompting fans of Chad’s reality show to realize he probably doesn’t pick any of the ladies in the season finale. In May, Evelyn Lozada made it clear she wasn’t dating Chris Brown, tweeting “Please, let me clear something up. Me and Chris Brown are not dating, absolutely not”. “I didn’t say two words to that boy” said Lozada after pictures surfaced online of her next to Brown at a nightspot.

By July, it became clear exactly who Evelyn Lozada is dating, Chad Ochocinco. Only one problem – Ochocinco is leading viewers to believe he is searching for love on a current VH-1 “reality” show.

Sandra Rose wrote the first week of July that executive of Chad’s own show “it’s pretty much definitive” that Chad is dating Evelyn Lozada (Basketball Wives). Even more interesting, insiders tell Rose that Chad will be “Evelyn’s love interest” on the next season, of her show Basketball Wives. Lozada’s rep’s official comment at the time was “as a policy we don’t comment on who our clients may or may not be dating.” Of course, this doesn’t top the news that Shaq is reportedly engaged to Hoopz. Different sport, same network.

VH-1 said of Chad earlier this year “His bigger than life personality on and off the field, and his notorious skills as a social networker, connecting daily with his fans, makes him a perfect fit for VH1.”
