Evelyn Lozada of ‘Basketball Wives’ is pregnant, mum on paternity

Evelyn Lozada of VH1’s catty reality series “Basketball Wives� is six months pregnant.

“I am so excited to announce a wonderful blessing -- I’m pregnant!� Lozada told People magazine Friday. “I’m excited about being a mommy all over again. This is something I’ve been wanting for years and I can’t believe it’s finally happening.�

The reality TV star would not disclose who the child’s father is, but TMZ reported that it’s a new beau -- whom she’s been dating for about a year -- not her ex-husband, football player Chad Johnson.

The pregnancy was reportedly planned, the site said.

On social media, the 37-year-old “Inner Circle� author repeatedly heralded the pregnancy as a “new beginning,� and then took to Instagram to share a pregnant selfie, which was promptly removed.

“NEW BEGINNINGS... #HappiestWomanAlive� she wrote, captioning a side-view photo of herself on the beach wearing a billowing maxi dress that accentuated her growing belly.

Lozada and Johnson famously called it quits on their two-month marriage in September 2012, and entered into prolonged court proceedings in a brutal domestic-violence dispute. Prior to that, she was in a 10-year relationship with NBA player Antoine Walker, but the two called off their engagement before making it down the aisle.

The reality star is already mother to a 20-year-old daughter named Shaniece, who accompanied Lozada on a trip to Hawaii over Thanksgiving, TMZ said. Presumably, that’s where the “new beginnings� selfie was taken.

“You deserve everything that GOD sends your way,� her daughter captioned another beach photo of them. “I am so excited to meet my new sibling! #youjustkeepwinning #babyswag #JOY @evelynlozada�

“I’m so thankful for so many things! How much greatness has happened in a year! I’m sooooooo damn HAPPY!!! Yipeeeeeee!!!� she added.
