Does Chad ‘Ochocinco’ Johnson have a new girlfriend?  That’s the rumor, according to a new gossip website “Exclusive”.

The website points to recent Instagram pictures posted by the alleged “girlfriend”, taken at a soccer match in Madrid, Spain.  In the photos, the former NFL star and Dancing With the Stars hunk is smiling with his arm around the “new girl.”  However, the website fails to make mention of the other male companion in the same set of pictures, also posing with the girl.

The same website calls the Madrid pictures a “romantic Valentine’s Day trip.”  Except it wasn’t even Valentine’s day!

In any event, it is impossible to tell what the relationship is between Chad and the female companion based on the few select pictures. But Splash News has obtained video of the two looking very cozy — they obviously are more than just friends.

Meanwhile, RumorFix can confirm that, as recently as two weeks ago, Johnson reached out to a TV meteorologist in Miami, trying to score a date!  He’s also been seen spending time with another sexy female on South Beach.

It certainly appears, the newly divorced Johnson may be playing the field… but any speculation of a new girlfriend is what we call a RUMOR.
