“Basketball Wives” star Evelyn Lozada is now the future Mrs. Chad Ochocinco — The NFL star popped the question today … and used a 10-carat engagement ring to seal the deal.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ … Chad proposed  to Evelyn — his GF of 4 months — today in Cincinnati. She had flown in from Miami just yesterday to visit.

Lozada obviously said yes … because she just tweeted a picture of the ridiculous ring (above) — saying, “I’m no rabbit but 10 carats looks good on me!! Let the hating begin.”

So far, no wedding date has been set — we’re told the couple plans to be engaged for a while.
