In a special Mother’s Day edition of Rolling Out, “BBW” star Evelyn Lozada

posed for a mother-daughter spread with her 20-year-old daughter Shaniece,

where they discussed being best friends and leaning on each other for sup-

port. Evelyn said,

“We are always together, and even when one of us is away, [we're] constantly

check in with each other. But that’s how it has always been between us since

the beginning. Even though I had her young, I always made sure that she knew

I was mom, but that she could also come to me and confide in me about any-

thing.”

Evelyn also revealed how Shaniece was her comforter through the Chad Ocho-

cinco domestic abuse scandal. Here are the highlights:

Shaniece, as you reflect on the relationship that you have with your mother,

can you think of a time when you were really proud of her, and were proud

that she was your mother?

Shaniece: When she left her domestic abuse relationship, I was really proud

of her. I felt like she stood up for herself, and I think that she set a good exam-

ple for other women. I knew that she had it in her, but I don’t think that every-

one else did, so I’m really proud of her for that.

Before this moment, have you let her know how proud of her you are for that?

Shaniece: Yeah, she knows … and we’ve been together since then.

Evelyn: We were literally together for eight months since that happened [cry-

ing] … I even slept with her. After everything happened, and my life was upside

down, it was tough because I had to live all of that out in the public … everybody

had an opinion, and even now I’m sure there will be some people who say “b—-,

you’re still crying over that?” … but she went through that with me from the

beginning. She went to the hospital with me.
