Selling Tampa star Sharelle Rosado has finally addressed the reasons behind her split from former NFL player Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson. In an interview with Carlos King, the Allure Realty founder shared insights into their breakup, social media drama, and her current perspective on moving forward. Rosado candidly discussed the rumors of infidelity that surfaced and the fallout that led to her ending their engagement. Their relationship, once seen as aspirational, took center stage in reality TV appearances and their engagement announcement, complete with a dazzling ring.

Rosado revealed that throughout their relationship, she faced constant attention directed at Johnson from other women, even when they were together. While he maintained respect for her in public, she discovered his private indiscretions after going through his phone. “Yes, I found out through text messages,” she admitted. “There were things happening, and when I saw it, I thought, ‘Do you even know who I am?’ But no one’s perfect.” Rumors about dramatic confrontations, such as catching him in bed with another woman, were addressed but quickly dismissed.
