Their split comes less than two years after getting engaged and less than three since welcoming their daughter, Serenity.

While Shannon implied that Ochocinco should fix whatever’s going on between him and Sharelle, he made it seem like they have no contact. He claimed that his ex-fiance blocked him from reaching out to her. Chad Johnson also opened up about going through the split in the public eye and dealing with it because he’s a public figure.

“The stove is hot right now,” Chad said. Later, Shannon encouraged his co-host to get in a room with Sharelle Rosado and figure out their issues. Ochocinco reacted by asking Sharpe to “be the moderator,” and the ‘Club Shay Shay’ host busted out laughing.

“You laughing ain’t sh*t funny, man. That sh*t hurt,” he said. Shannon Sharpe agreed and gave his friend a lil’ advice, saying that Sharelle needs a couple of days to “calm down” and that they both need to stay offline and keep it offline if the relationship is recouped. Ochocinco reacted by seemingly sending a message to Sharelle, saying, “You ain’t had to be so public, and you might be watching.” Shannon tried to move the conversation along with some sports talk and then laughed about avoiding a cussing from ‘Relle.

As Ochocinco mentioned, Sharelle brought their broken engagement to the internet last week. On X (formerly Twitter), the ‘Selling Tampa’ star revealed that she and Chad are “no longer together” and asked her supporters to stop tagging them. “He is a free man, ladies,” she added of her ex-fianc.
