Former Basketball Wives star, Evelyn Lozada is returning to reality television but this time will appear on the Oprah Winfrey's OWN network.

According to Variety.com, Lozada's series titled "Evelyn" will focus on the reality star and her 21-year-old daughter, Shaniece Lozada recent adjustment to their new lives with Evelyn's newborn son and recent engagement to MLB player Carl Crawford. The show is set to premiere in July.

This news comes after the reality star admitted to never returning to the VH1 show even if they offered her $2 million. In March, the former VH1 star tweeted inquiring fans about her possible return to show and she revealed that her journey on the show ended, "I was given an offer, but declined. Just not a good fit for my life, I've moved on," She explained that even the amount of money offered wouldn't be healthy for a possible return on the show, "Lol 2 mill is not worth the risk."

In 2013, Evelyn and the L.A. Dodgers star announced their engagement while they expect their first child together. The reality star got a14.5 carat diamond sparkler on Christmas morning and the ring is reportedly worth $1.4 million, according to TMZ.

The MLB athlete was working out a $142 million contract and the wedding for the reality star is expected to be bigger than her wedding with former NFL athlete, Chad Johnson.

March 22, 2014, Evelyn and her fiance welcomed their bundle of joy, Carl Leo Crawford and a rep told PEOPLE, "It was very quick and Evelyn is happy because she was super nervous," her rep added, "Baby boy is so handsome and she can't wait to reveal him to the world."
