Basketball Wives wrapped up season 10 on May 1, 2023, and while the show is set to officially be renewed for another season, fans might possibly see an OG return to the show. As reported by theJasmineBrand, one alum is set to return for the following season.

Evelyn Lozada was a part of Basketball Wives: Miami from 2010 to 2015 followed by her time on the LA franchise from 2017 to 2020. At the time of her exit from the VH1 show, she stated that it was time for her to open up the universe to other things.

The television personality, model, and spokesperson however has not been away from the public eye. She recently appeared in Peacock’s Queens Court where she, along with three other cast members dated several men in order to find their king, and she managed to king in Lavon Lewis. Evelyn met Lavon on the show and in December 2022, he popped the question during her birthday party.

The television star, model, and spokesperson, who recently appeared on Peacock’s Queens Court left the show with someone to call her own king. Evelyn Zolada, Nivea, and Tamar Braxton starred in the Peacock show as they met several men in order to find their match.

During the show, Lozada met Lewis during the second episode. Although they continued to grow together, the distance in the real world was a cause of worry as the Basketball Wives alum lives in Los Angeles while Lewis lives in Atlanta.

In March 2023, the reality stars opened up about their relationship outside the show as they got engaged in December 2022. Lewis told People Magazine at the time that it is very hard to surprise her and he told her to pack her bags because they were going somewhere.

He added that she was blindfolded until she was taken to the front door and in the room, there were 20 of her close friends and family. She was also greeted with "marry me" written in big letters with rose petals on the ground.

While the two still live in different states, Lewis revealed his plans to relocate once his son, Jordan heads to high school. He added that he plans to move so that he and the Basketball Wives former cast member can bring their family under the same roof.

While the television star is happy and engaged, it's been a long journey for her to get there. Her longest relationship in the public eye was with NBA star Antoine Walker and they were together from 1998 to 2009 and got engaged in 2007. However, towards the end of their relationship, Walker had major financial issues and had to file for bankruptcy around the same time.

In 2011, the Basketball Wives star was sued by her ex-partner who claimed that he gave her a large sum of money to hide his assets from creditors and to help her start her Miami show store.

It was speculated that she left him due to the money issues but she revealed that she split up with him due to his infidelity. At the time, she said that he was still playing when she “chalked up the deuces” and before he filed for bankruptcy.

Lozada was then married to NFL star Chad Johnson in 2012. The two got married in July and almost a month later, he was arrested on domestic abuse charges and she filed for divorce a few days later.

Two years later, the Basketball Wives Miami star was involved with MLB star Carl Crawford, with whom she shares a son, Carl Leo Crawford. The two were together for three years and broke up in 2017 after which she briefly dated French Montana in 2018.

The television personality was single for more or less five years before appearing in Queens Court and meeting Lavon Lewis.
