 La La Anthony reveals why her marriage to NBA star Carmelo Anthony failed

La La Anthony, the American television personality, has spoken candidly about the reasons behind the end of her marriage with former NBA star, Carmelo Anthony.

According to La La, the issues in their marriage began when Carmelo, 38, was traded from the Denver Nuggets to the New York Knicks in 2011.

During an interview on the podcast Call Her Daddy, La La, who is 40 and a New York native, expressed how the scrutiny and media attention during their time in New York marked the start of their marital challenges.

She emphasized that while the move to New York was not the sole reason for their marriage falling apart, the constant spotlight and public scrutiny made things difficult.

Being a mother to their 15-year-old son, Kiyan, La La admitted to having many sleepless nights worrying about her then-husband’s fidelity, particularly when he played in cities known for athletes cheating on their partners.

Following her divorce filing in June 2021, a representative for La La confirmed that she and Carmelo had been living apart for some time, and she was moving forward with legal proceedings.

Reports of their split first emerged in April 2017 amid rumors of infidelity, but insiders close to Carmelo denied the claims, and the existence of the alleged child was never confirmed.

Reflecting on the breakup during an interview with The Angie Martinez Show, La La expressed how the public nature of the split and the allegations involved took a heavy toll on her.
