Evelyn Lozada's marriage to Chad Johnson was short and far from sweet and ended with the football player pleading of no contest to domestic battery.
Lozada and Johnson's brief marriage ended after the reality star was forced to take refuge in a neighbor's house after he assaulted her.
Before her brief marriage to Johnson, Lozada was engaged to NBA star Antoine Walker, who accused her of abandoning him when he went bankrupt

HOW IT ALL BEGAN
At Lozada and Johnson's wedding, no-one would have imagined that a few brief weeks later the honeymoon -- and the marriage -- would be over. The bride was radiant, and the groom looked besotted.
CHAD JOHNSON ARRESTED
The Independence Day wedding day led to a quick divorce, with Johnson pleading no contest to domestic violence charges in order to avoid jail time. Johnson's career took a blow when 24 hours after his arrest the Dolphins terminated his contract.
THE TRIGGER INCIDENT
The couple sat in their cat discussing the issue, and as the discussion heated, Johnson grabbed Lozada's head and head-butted her, opening what police later described as a 3-inch laceration on her scalp.
A NIGHT IN JAIL
"I wish Evelyn nothing but the best, I have no negative words to say about her, the only thing I can say is I love her very much."
SHORT MARRIAGE, QUICK DIVORCE
Lozada, who shares a 27-year-old daughter Shanice with former boyfriend Jamal Hairston, filed for divorce immediately, and her lawyer Michael B. Gilden declared:
"Given the recent events that have taken place, Evelyn has decided to file for divorce and move on with her life."
UNLUCKY IN LOVE
The relationship ended three years later when Lozada discovered that her fiancé and father of her son had been unfaithful to her. However, when Weathers was accused by a girlfriend of domestic violence and arrested, Lozada came to his defense.
DEFENDING CARL WEATHERS
"Carl has never put his hands on me, Carl has never intimidated me, Carl has never called me (expletive) or ever stood over me trying to intimidate me."
Weathers and Lozada are devoted co-parents to their son, and their amicable relationship even started rumors about a possible reconciliation, but the reality star has declared that she is not interested in dating, and revealed that she has forgiven Johnson.
NO BASKETBALL WIFE
“My thing with Evelyn is she reaped a lot of benefits of my wealth. And when it got tight, she chose to go a different direction."
Lozada responded to Walker's claims that she was a golddigger by revealing that at the time she broke off the engagement she had discovered that her then-fiancé had been unfaithful to her with several women.
Evelyn Lozada certainly seems to be unlucky in love, but she's channeled her romantic impulses into writing romantic novels, and she's become a successful author as well as a reality star.
