LA: Just two weeks after her NFL star husband Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson was arrested for allegedly head-butting her during an explosive argument, Evelyn Lozada is smiling again.
According to the Daily Mail report, the Basketball Wives star, 36, was spotted relaxing with a group of friends on a beach this weekend in Barbados.
The make-up free reality TV personality could be seen laughing and she appeared to be having a good time.
Lozada wore a green two piece swimsuit with gold embellishments and donned a multi-coloUred sarong style wrap when she got up to walk around.
Her long brunette hair was pulled back into a chignon topped with a tan hat.
According to several American gossip sites, Evelyn has been wearing a series hats since the incident to cover a laceration on her forehead that required 'several stitches.'
The drama unfolded in Florida on August 11, when Johnson allegedly head-butted his new bride after she found a receipt for condoms in his car.
The incident culminated with the Miami Dolphins receiver Chad Johnson being arrested on a domestic violence charge, and the very next day he was cut from his beloved team.
Evelyn then filed for divorce after just 41 days, following shock revelations that her now estranged husband had cheated relentlessly - both before and during their short-lived marriage.
Of Puerto Rican ancestry, Lozada was born in Brooklyn, raised in the Bronx by her single mother, and moved to Miami in 2007.
She has a daughter, Shaneice, who has appeared with her mother on VH1 reality show Basketball Wives.
Lozada was previously engaged to NBA star Antoine Walker, with whom she had a ten-year relationship.
Her courtship with NFL star Chad Johnson was documented on Basketball Wives; they married in Saint Martin on July 4.
On August 14 Lozada filed for divorce, claiming her marriage to Johnson was 'irretrievably broken'.
Johnson's reputation continues to take a battering, with a stream of reports that the NFL wide receiver cheated on his wife before they were even married.
The footballer, who has four children from previous relationships, reportedly conducted affairs with several women he met via his Twitter account, including a stripper called Amber Priddy and a mother-of-two from Miami called Bianca Zuluaga.
The seedy revelations have further sullied the reputation of the star, who previously went by the name Ochocinco, and who is now set to go through a bitter divorce.
