Evelyn Lozada, Shaunie O’Neal and the rest of the "Basketball Wives" return on the VH1 reality program.

Basketball Wives is a reality television series on the VH1 cable created by Shaunie O’Neal, the ex-wife of NBA center Shaquille O’Neal. The series follows the lives of a group of women who have all been somehow romantically linked to professional basketball players. The show is filmed in Miami, Florida. Season three will premiere May 30, 2011.

Shaunie O’Neal (née Va’Shaundya Nelson) acts as executive producer of the series. Shaunie and Shaquille were married in 2002. Shaquille filed for divorce in 2009 but the couple worked out their struggles, but a year later in 2010 Shaunie filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. She is a philanthropist, a mother of five, and a rising entrepreneur.

Evelyn Lozada, on the other hand, is of Puerto Rican ancestry and grew up in Bronx, New York. She is the ex-fiancee of basketball star Antoine Walker. She co-owns an upscale shoe boutique in Coral Gables, Florida called Dulce. In 2011 she became engaged to football star Chad Ochocinco.
