Evelyn Lozada revealed she was six months pregnant in November to People magazine. The 37-year-old "Basketball Wives" star said she wanted to keep the identity of the baby's father a secret but revealed the news to OMG! Insider.
Lozada confirmed that the rumors are true and Los Angeles Dodgers left fielder Carl Crawford, 32, is the father. According to TMZ, the reality star has been secretly dating Crawford for a year and the pregnancy was planned.
"I am so excited to announce a wonderful blessing - I'm pregnant!" she told People. "I'm excited about being a mommy all over again. This is something I've been waiting for years and I can't believe it's finally happening."
Lozada was previously married to basketball player Antoine Walker and former Miami Dolphins star Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson. She also has a 20-year-old daughter named Shaniece from a previous relationship.
Johnson and Lozada divorced after two months of marriage. The athlete was arrested for assaulting the VH1 star and was charged with domestic violence for allegedly head-butting her after a heated argument.
In September of last year Johnson pleaded no contest and was charged with a misdemeanor and sentenced to a year of probation. Following the incident he was dropped from the Miami Dolphins.
"I definitely would get married again," she said in the interview. "I'm not one of those people that's like, 'we need to get engaged, we need to get married.' No, absolutely not. I feel like that's just going to come, just like with the baby, let it come. I'm not forcing anything, so if it happens, it happens."
She hasn't revealed the sex of the baby but told OMG! that she's due in March.
"I'm so thankful for so many things! How much greatness has happened in a year! I'm soooo damn HAPPY! Yipeeee. I mean DAMN HAPPY!!!" she posted on Facebook on Thanksgiving.
