I know this story has been told before, but it’s the first time I heard it so I thought I’d share…

Almost everything related to the engagement of new Miami Dolphins player Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson and “Basketball Wives” star Evelyn Lozada is fodder for a fairytale — the 10-carat diamond ring, the elegant wedding invite adorned with a bedazzled seal, the televised courtship and the ceremony set for the Fourth of July.

There’s just one thing out of place — the actual proposal.

According to Lozada, who recently released the book, “Inner Circle,” on the Lil Wayne and Brian “Birdman” Williams-related imprint Cash Money Content, Johnson never got down on one knee, or even formally asked her to marry him.

“My proposal, it really wasn’t that romantic,” Lozada said during an exclusive interview with Yahoo! Music’s The Aftermath. “He told me that the jeweler was coming to the house, so I thought he was going to buy watches. I didn’t know we were going to get engaged. Jason from Beverly Hills gets to the house. He pulls out some rings. … Chad has his headset on ’cause he likes playing ‘Call Of Duty,’ ‘Fifa,’ all of that stuff. He was like, ‘Which one do you like?’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know. This one.’ It was in a separate box. I picked that one. Put it on. He goes, ‘Alright, so we’re engaged.'”

Afterward, Lozada said Johnson resumed killing people on ‘Call Of Duty.’ “I’ll never forget this as long as I live,” she said with a laugh.
