This might be the smartest thing an athlete has ever done to protect his money that he earned.

Former Los Angeles Dodgers star Carl Crawford reportedly broke up with his girlfriend, basketball wives star Evelyn Lozada, and called off his engagement months ago, but no one knew exactly why.

Crawford was apparently not to keen with the whole ‘forever’ thing, and he reportedly feared losing the majority of his baseball earnings if things didn’t work out.

“Reportedly, Carl got cold feet when he realized “forever” with Evelyn meant half his money if marriage didn’t work out. The couple got engaged back in December of 2013. Reports circulated last year saying Carl’s teammates’ wives called Evelyn out as a “gold digger”. Subsequently, Carl refused to sign prenup papers. In June 2016, Carl was cut from his job with the Los Angeles Dodgers. A BOSSIP source told us Carl spiralled into play boy mode after the cut. They tell us, Crawford openly went out on dates and flew other women into his home.”

In summary, Crawford doesn’t want to be tied down to one woman. He wants the freedom to play the field, all while not losing half of his net worth because of a ring and piece a paper. I see no issue here.

Let’s take a closer look at Ms. Evelyn Lozada:
