Sharelle Rosado Confirms Chad Ochocinco’s Cheating and Opens Up About Their Split

At 31, Sharelle Rosado, the real estate mogul and star of Netflix’s “Selling Tampa,” has finally addressed the real reasons behind her breakup with former NFL star Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson).

In a candid interview with Carlos King on the “Reality with the King” podcast, Rosado revealed that infidelity was at the heart of their split, bringing months of speculation to an end.

Rosado and Ochocinco went public with their relationship in late 2020, quickly becoming a high-profile couple admired for their ambition and blended family dynamic.

They got engaged in January 2023 and share a daughter, Serenity, born in January 2022. However, despite their seemingly perfect image, cracks began to show. Rosado explained that while she was committed, Chad was not monogamous. She discovered incriminating messages from multiple women on his phone, confirming her suspicions.

“When we were together, there was some stuff going on, and I found out about it,” Rosado shared. “I saw things that were crazy.”

Despite her disappointment, she said she wasn’t there to judge Chad, acknowledging the challenges that come with dating someone in the public eye. “They’re going to throw themselves at him because of who he is,” she noted, adding that honesty is always the best policy.

Rosado also addressed rumors that Chad had given her an STD, firmly denying them. The speculation started after she warned fans online that sliding into his DMs might come with risks, but she clarified, “No, he did not give me anything.”

The couple’s breakup became public in October 2024, when Rosado announced their separation in a now-deleted social media post, declaring Chad a “free man.”

While co-parenting their daughter has been challenging, Rosado remains open to reconciliation in the future. “After therapy and once we clear the slate, I would be open to going on a date with him and see where it goes,” she said, but emphasized she’s currently focused on traveling, enjoying life, and personal growth.

The end of their engagement came as a shock to many fans, especially as the couple had been seen as a modern power couple, successfully balancing careers, family, and public scrutiny.

Insiders suggest that the pressures of fame and Chad’s history of high-profile relationships may have contributed to their issues. Despite the split, Rosado has received widespread support for her strength and resilience, with many fans and colleagues rallying around her.

As the CEO of Allure Realty and a mother, Rosado is focusing on her business and her children, sharing messages about self-love and new beginnings on social media.

Meanwhile, Chad Ochocinco, known for his charismatic personality, continues to be active in media and as a father.

Their breakup highlights the complexities of maintaining a relationship in the public eye and the importance of self-respect and honesty. While their journey together has ended, both are determined to move forward, using their experiences as opportunities for growth and new beginnings.
