00:00 What could have happened?
00:01 Why basketball wives star, Evelyn Lozada,
00:04 says she and fiance, Levon Lewis, have called it quits.
00:08 Evelyn recently revealed she and the marketing firm,
00:11 Founder, have ended their engagement
00:12 after meeting on Peacock's Queens Court.
00:15 Back in March, fans watched Evelyn, Tamar Braxton,
00:18 and Nivea set on a journey for love on Queens Court.
00:22 And the 47 year old announced her engagement
00:24 to Levon that same month.
00:26 But now, Evelyn says in an interview with Us Weekly,
00:29 published October 19th, "Things went so fast.
00:32 Six months later, we were engaged,
00:34 and I just felt a little bit of a disconnect."
00:37 Distance was also a factor, according to Evelyn.
00:39 She's based in Los Angeles, while Levon is based in Atlanta.
00:43 She tells Us Weekly, "That was another thing
00:45 that was really, really difficult.
00:47 He has a son that is, I believe,
00:49 in his first year of high school or going to high school."
00:52 Evelyn adds, "It was a lot of moving parts,
00:54 and it just started becoming difficult.
00:56 And I was just like, I don't want to keep this going
00:59 just for the world."
01:00 Lozada says even though the duo agreed
01:02 breaking up was the right thing to do,
01:04 she says they remain on good terms,
01:06 telling the outlet, "I'm just happy
01:08 that we're able to just be mature and friends."
01:11 Evelyn also reveals the lead up to their split
01:14 will be featured on Basketball Wives this season.
01:17 She explains to Us Weekly, "Last episode,
01:19 I was crying with Shawnee O'Neal at her event
01:22 because that was the beginning of the end
01:24 of my relationship with him."
01:25 But Lozada reiterates she and LaVon are still close,
01:28 telling the outlet, "We're really good friends.
01:31 We still work together."
01:33 I wanted to leave a quick message
01:34 'cause I know it hit the airwaves
01:37 that LaVon and I, we called off our wedding.
01:41 And it really, really warms my heart
01:45 how invested all of you are in just me finding love
01:49 and my happiness.
01:50 I will say that I have seen a couple of things
01:54 and I just want to make this very, very clear.
01:57 We have mutually called everything off.
02:02 Nothing happened.
02:03 He did not cheat on me.
02:05 I didn't cheat on him.
02:06 It was just distance and it was just,
02:09 honestly, it was becoming difficult,
02:12 but we still work together.
02:14 We're still friends.
02:15 I'm still gonna support his business.
02:18 He still supports mine.
02:20 And that's it.
02:22 We're just really in a good, positive space.
02:25 So yeah, before rumors start swirling around,
02:29 what happened, what could have happened, we're good.
02:33 We're really good friends.
02:34 I'm always going to love and care for LaVon.
02:38 And that's just what it is.
02:41 My family is, and we're always gonna be friends.
02:45 We experience something.
02:47 Unfortunately, it's public,
02:49 but we're in a good, happy place.
02:54 And I'm really, really glad that we met each other
03:00 and that, yeah, it doesn't end with just the relationship.
03:05 We've created a bond that I'm honestly grateful for.
03:10 So yeah, just needed to let y'all know on this Friday.
03:14 Have a good day.
03:15 I love you guys.
03:16 Bye.
