On October 24, Rosado announced their separation in a candid post on X with a message stating, “Chad and I are no longer together, please stop tagging us.” He’s a free man, ladies.

Many have stated that Johnson “groped” the reality TV star or interviewed“How did he ruin everything?”

A disciple responded to news of the breakup by saying, “I can’t blame” the former Cincinnati Bengal while sharing a photo of Johnson with sports reporter Taylor Rooks, hinting at something going on between the two.

As expected, a few comments alerted Rosado, 33, to the DM floods she would soon experience now that she was back on the market. Although she apparently didn’t accept any of the men’s offers, she took the time to warn one follower, who thanked Rosado for warning her that her ex was up for grabs.

“Thank you sis!” I will kindly slide in his DMs,” they wrote.

Rosado responded to the overzealous fan, “lol I hope you don’t catch anything sis,” leading fans to speculate that the breakup was due to Johnson’s infidelity.

The former NFL star remained silent about the split until hours later, when he responded to Rosado’s tweet with a funny gif of the hit show “Arrested Development”, showing the character George Michael walking with his head down.

“Shit,” Johnson declared on a recent episode of “Nightcap” this past weekend after news of the breakup went viral. Shannon Sharpe advised her friend and co-host to work things out with Rosado.

“I can’t. I’m just saying I’m stuck,” Johnson explained. “I don’t know what to do.”

Sharpe later praised him for being a “wise man,” adding that if Rosado never said “Don’t call me anymore,” he might still have a chance to work things out with her.

“Why don’t you do me a favor?” Why aren’t you the moderator? » Johnson asked, which made Sharpe laugh.

“Give her a day or two, let her calm down. It’s fresh, it’s really fresh. But you both have to stay offline,” Sharpe continued. “Next time, if this thing needs to be repaired, leave it offline. »

Johnson admitted: “It wasn’t me. Yeah, you didn’t have to be so public, and you could watch,” he continued on camera, speaking directly to Rosado.

At one point, Johnson frustrated said Sharpe: “More comments on relationships. Not at the moment…I’m in the doghouse at the moment.

“It took the hand of God to come here and fix this,” he added.

Fans of the couple expressed their shock at the split and urged the two to find a solution.

“The doghouse means it’s not completely gone… hope they can get through it,” one person said, while another wrote: “What are you do Chad???”

A few pointed out that Johnson wore large sunglasses during the episode to hide the fact that he was almost in tears, including one who said“Sometimes you have to smile, you’re hurt. The boy probably hasn’t eaten since.

Assuming infidelity played a role in the end of their engagement, one person added: “‘Hand of God to fix it’, oh he cheated, cheated.”

Another said, “Better do like Judge Mathis and go get your wife.” » Fans are mostly stunned by their split due to their recent social media activity, which gave no signs that Johnson and Rosado were at odds.

In September, the real estate agent shared several images of what looked like a happy couple.

In one pictureRosado stood next to her former fiancé to congratulate him on his induction into the Bengals’ Ring Of Honor, and another browse taken at the same ceremony shows her wearing a custom Bengals jersey with “Wifey” embroidered on the back.

Rosado was joined by the couple’s 2-year-old daughter Serenity, who wore an adorable top with “French Fry” on the back.

The couple’s journey began in November 2020. During a previous interview on the “I am an athlete” podcast, she revealed how she met the former NFL star.

“I slid into his DMs. We used to say it – the joke was that we met on Christian Mingle, but I actually slid into his DMs. She later said: “He was always a crush of mine. Like for years. Sexy, tall, chocolate. That, I know he’s fine.

After dating long distance for over two years, the father of eight proposed on January 7, 2023. Johnson gave Rosado a stunning 7.5-carat oval engagement ring at her birthday party. The couple welcomed their daughter in January 2022.

Johnson often boasts when he fell in love with Rosado during an appearance at “Club Shay Shay” weeks after the engagement.

“First date, we went to McDonald’s,” he told host Shannon Sharpe. “She started ordering before I even got to the thing…. Man, I was in love. The thrifty athlete even said Rosado once told him, “Listen, I don’t need you, I want you.”

It’s unclear when exactly the couple officially split, as they were sharing posts referencing each other as recently as last week.

Earlier this month, Rosado continued to share more images of the attractive couple and even posted a promotional photo of Johnson for her appearance on “Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity.”

The same day, Johnson later job he was on his way to Miami to celebrate Rosado’s birthday.

She then shared a photo of a birthday bouquet and the accompanying card addressed to her: “I love you and the beef will resume tomorrow,” the sender signed, “Ryan.”

Although some fans are hoping that this subtle announcement is a publicity stunt aimed at attracting more listeners to their respective podcasts, certain telling events led to the breakup.

During the June 3 episode of the show “Nightcap“, Johnson was clearly annoyed with her fiancé and co-host, Sharpe, after Rasado announced that she was following them on an overseas tour.

After Sharpe asked Johnson to take a photo of Rasado for a flyer, Johnson couldn’t hide his issues with overstepping his boundaries.

“No, no, in all seriousness, we are creating a monster,” he told Onc. He continued to complain, “She doesn’t need a feature because it takes away my shine.”

Johnson continually told stories about the couple’s breakup and make-up dynamic throughout the three years they shared together. Both became the subject of the podcast Live summer sessions, where they would use Sharpe and a live audience in place of couples therapy.

Rosado’s “Relle Report” experience on “Nightcap” led her to start her own podcast, “Humble villains.”

During the show’s inaugural episode, she revealed to co-hosts Alexis Stoudemire and Ashley Wheeler that she had been unfaithful early in her first marriage, landing her in Johnson’s arms. “I cheated on my ex-husband with Chad. I wouldn’t say cheating because I mentally checked out. I was done,” she revealed.

She then shared the circumstances of her relationship with Johnson, saying she formed an “emotional attachment” to him before becoming physical and that those feelings led her to withdraw from her marriage. At the age I am now, I felt like it was wrong because I should have ended the relationship completely,” she reflected with a hint of regret.
