Chad Johnson and Evelyn Lozada Divorce Finalized

Divorce between former Dolphin and reality TV star finalized

The divorce between former Miami Dolphins player Chad Johnson and reality TV star Evelyn Lozada has been finalized, Johnson's attorney said.

A South Florida judge signed off on the divorce Wednesday morning, attorney Adam Swickle told NBC 6.

"It's an agreed upon divorce based on a prenuptial agreement," Swickle said.

Lozada filed for divorce last month after Johnson was arrested for allegedly head-butting her during an argument at the couple's home in Davie.

Lozada was treated at a nearby hospital for lacerations to her head, though Johnson told police she had head-butted him. He pleaded not guilty to a domestic battery charge earlier this month.

The Dolphins released Johnson the day after his arrest and he has yet to land with a new team. The 34-year-old Johnson had been battling for a spot on the Miami Dolphins after a disappointing season with the New England Patriots in 2011.

The confrontation came barely a month after the July 4 marriage between Johnson and Lozada, who is on the reality TV show "Basketball Wives."
