It’s unfortunately the end of the road for Chad OchoCinco and his ex-fiancee Sharelle Rosado. And now, she’s spilling the tea on their highly publicized and messy breakup and the aftermath.
If you missed the official announcement, then let us catch you up. Back in October, Rosado posted a since-deleted post to her X/Twitter accoount announcing she and OchoCinco would be calling it quits after four years together. The impetus? Questionable texts from another woman and other things she found in his phone, which she explained in a past interview with Carlos King earlier this month.
“I found out about it and I was like f*ck this sh*t, you know who I am? Like, I know who you are I’m gonna respect what you have,” she explained at the time. “But it is what it is and nobody’s perfect. But I just feel like, when things happen be honest about it. It shouldn’t lead to that point of how I’m finding out.”
Now, Rosado is speaking out about the aftermath of the breakup in a new interview with the New York Post. In it, she addressed internet speculation that her relationship with the former NFL star was just for publicity and maintained that no matter what their family and children would come first.
“If it was just PR then we wouldn’t have a child together, I mean, make it make sense,” Rosado said, referring to their two-year-old daughter. “I think some people just speculate and assume or, you know, wish their situations were different and wish they had their situation the same as ours at times. But people are going to speculate. At the end of the day, we know what we have, we know what we created. If we’re together or not, we’re going to support each other.”
And while the two may not be together anymore, that doesn’t mean they won’t be in each other’s orbit. As we all know, OchoCinco and Shannon Sharpe host the “Nightcap” podcast together. But what you may not know is that Sharpe’s production company also produces “Humble Baddies,”—a podcast with Rosado and her fellow “W.A.G.s to Riches” cast members Ashley Wheeler, and Alexis Stoudemire.
Though Sharpe hasn’t picked sides when it comes to the breakup between the two, Rosado said he and OchoCinco would still be supportive of her endeavors.
“He gets on the both of us, and that’s what I love about having him,” Rosado said of Sharpe. “Sometimes he can be our therapist and we both would be on the phone with him and he would give us advice. So we appreciate just having a great support system.”
