When Evelyn Lozada filed for divorce from Chad Ochocinco back in September, following the domestic violence incident that shook their careers, I just knew they would end up back together… For some reason, call me “crazy,” but I believe that they have fun together and are actually in love. And darn that “love” stuff! It’s the same “stuff” that brought Chris Brown and Rihanna back together…

Last night, while Kim and Kanye were reveling in lover’s glory, Ev and Ocho were spotted out on a date together in Miami.

As much as we are happy for the couple, we hope Chad is seeking help for his issues. Ev released the statement on her blog:

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to wish you a happy and safe New Year and take time to address a few rumors and unanswered questions about last night. It seems as though things have gotten a wee bit out of control.

I attended a dinner with Chad’s daughter, not only because I love baby girl like my own, but to support Chad and his fan appreciation dinner. While at the dinner, several photos popped up on the Internet of Chad and I holding hands, while in the process of blessing the food. The blogs made last night seem as though, we walked hand and hand into the restaurant announcing a reunion, which wasn’t the case.

I care for Chad, we are friends and we love one another, however, we are still separated, not living under the same roof and working on ourselves because we have a long way to go. This is a normal and realistic process for anyone and I don’t know what the future holds for me, but I know God holds it and I’m taking things one day at a time. I appreciate the love from so many of you and right now I’m still working on becoming a better person. Chad and I are attending therapy separately, meeting with a Life Coach and trying to figure out how to work on our individual selves and navigate through this entire ordeal.

I wanted you to hear this from me and only me because I would rather you know the truth, than assume. :)

Let’s make tonight a safe and wonderful New Year and many blessings to you and yours for 2013!

Please remember, don’t drink and drive.

Love,

Evelyn
