Disgraced NFL player Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson hasn’t given up on love, even though his marriage to Evelyn Lozada ended in disaster.

The newly divorced 35-year-old sure looked romantic with Lauren Popeil, CEO of Popeil Cuisine, the heiress to infomercial king Ron Popeil, while on a trip to Spain. He returned to Miami Friday after spending time doing fun things like taking in a Real Madrid soccer match with her.

Lauren posted several Instagrams as proof. But a source close to the chef tells TMZ she and Chad are just “friends.”

You’ve got a friend

A Parkland teen who plummeted 100 feet from a Wisconsin amusement park ride in 2010 is getting some help from . . . wait for it . . . Charlie Sheen.

Teagan Marti suffered brain, spine, pelvis and internal injuries when nets and air bags that were supposed to catch riders on the free-fall ride were not raised. She was paralyzed initially but through physical therapy is now able to walk with a walker. A Marti family friend asked Sheen for $6,000 to cover therapy dog training, and Sheen wired $10,000 on Thursday. Sheen told the AP he likes to “pay it forward.”

The 15-year-old didn’t know much about the former Two and a Half Men star but now thinks pretty highly of him.
