Chad Johnson Evelyn Lozada Divorce Finalized; Ends Two-Month Marriage
Evelyn Lozada has officially ended her two-month marriage to Chad Johnson on Wednesday, Sept. 19.
Lozada and Johnson's divorce was reportedly finalized early this morning in a Florida court.
"Evelyn and Mr. Johnson were divorced this morning in an uncontested final hearing. My client is a single woman and looks forward to her future," Lozada's attorney Michael Gilden, told People.
Johnson's attorney Adam Swickle told E! that the hearing was "very quick" and "very procedural" and lasted "three to five minutes." He revealed that neither his client or Lozada were present for the proceeding.
According to a report, the couple's prenuptial agreement had a clause that they would pay for themselves if they ended their marriage.
The divorce was finalized a month after Lozada filed a legal separation on Tuesday, Aug. 14. Lozada filed the divorce petition stating their marriage is "irretrievably broken." The couple had only been married for six weeks.
A Yard Bark report from Sept. 11 claims Johnson initially refused to sign the divorce papers. However, Lozada did not need the former NFL player to sign off to initiate the split in the state of Florida.
When one of Johnson's followers on Twitter inquired about Lozada's divorce proceedings, Johnson answered "Divorce? Child please ... that's my WIFE."
The disgraced football player displayed many signs he wasn't ready to move on- he declared his love by putting a tattoo with Lozada's face on his leg.
Johnson was arrested for domestic violence on Saturday, Aug. 11 after he head-butted Lozada when she questioned him about a receipt for a box of condoms. The attack resulted in a laceration on her forehead that required stitches.
The reality star had just married Johnson on July 4 in Saint Martin. The wedding planning and ceremony was recorded for their reality show "Ev and Ocho" but VH1 announced that they have dropped the show from their fall lineup due to the violent incident.
