Yes, It’s official Cincinnati Bengals star, Chad Ochocinco will be a part of VH1′s “Basketball Wives” next season as the love interest of cast member Evelyn Lozada.

Chad, according to TMZ, has signed a deal to shoot several scenes between September and October, with shoots scheduled around his NFL obligations.

Some of his scenes will take place in Miami, where the show is based, whenever his schedule permits, according to TMZ. However, “VH1 wants Ochocinco material so badly that they’re willing to shoot scenes out in Cincinnati too,” the Web site reports.
