Sharelle Rosado Talks Dating Chad Johnson Following Evelyn Lozada Scandal

Chad Johnson’s new fiancé says she believes in second chances.

The “Selling Tampa” star told Page Six that she decided to date her now-fiancé, Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, despite his rocky past previous domestic violence case with his ex-wife, Evelyn Lozada.

“It wasn’t a concern, you never know what goes on between things – I don’t want to speak on that because I wasn’t there, but Chad is a great person.

“People go through things, people make mistakes, and you learn from them. If you base things off of mistakes that people made then you’ll never make it in life. Nobody is perfect.”

In 2012, Johnson, was arrested and sentenced to 12 months probation after head-butting his then-wife after she found a receipt for condoms. Lozada, 46, filed for divorce just days later, saying the marriage was “irretrievably broken.”

Since then, the “Basketball Wives” star has said she and the former NFL pro are “cool.”

Rosado, who officially started dating Johnson in 2020, said he “went through what he needed to go through to get to where he’s at today.”

“He’s a great father, a great person, a great soulmate, and I love him.”

Rosado made her reality TV debut on Netflix’s “Selling Tampa” on Wednesday, and Johnson is featured in only a few scenes of the show.
