For half a year, “Basketball Wives” star Evelyn Lozada has been keeping a huge secret from fans.
According to TMZ, the 37-year-old beauty is six months pregnant and former husband Chad Johnson is not the father!
“Sources close to Lozada tell us … she’s been seeing a guy for almost a year now and the relationship has gotten serious,” the site reports. “We’re told … the pregnancy was planned — it’s not a case of the whoops! And until now only a small number of relatives were privy to the news.”
Ev has yet to confirm the news, but on Thanksgiving Day she did tweet: “I’m so thankful for so many things! How much greatness has happened in a year! I’m sooooooo damn HAPPY!!! Yipeeeeeee!!!”
The new bundle of joy will be the reality star’s second child. She also has a 20-year-old daughter named Shaniece. (We know Evelyn was looking forward to having more kids — twins to be exact — after she jumped the broom with Ocho in 2012. But, sadly their marriage ended after just two months due to a very-public domestic dispute.)
It looks like good things come to those who wait. Congrats, Ev!
