Last week he was set on winning his wife Evelyn Lozada back after she filed for divorce last month.

According to TMZ, the 34-year-old wide receiver expects Evelyn to pay her own legal fees, citing a provision in the prenup where both sides agreed to pay their own way if they were to split up.

'I still love him. I feel bad for him because his life is now a mess.'

According to TMZ, sources close to Evelyn said she was 'ecstatic' and ready to move on and it's only a matter of time before the divorce is finalized.
