Anthony Davis and wife Marlen show love to daughter Nala on 7th birthday

Nala Davis, the eldest child of Anthony Davis with his wife Marlen Davis, celebrated her seventh birthday on Nov. 1. She was born in 2017 when the NBA star was still with the New Orleans Pelicans and engaged to Marlen. At the time of his 2020 championship with the LA Lakers, Nala was their only child.

The couple, who have kept a low profile about their family life, shared an Instagram story to commemorate their daughter’s birthday. The NBA All-Star center re-shared his wife’s story where she wrote:

“My love”

Davis added three big hearts as he shared the photo.

The photo shows Nala Davis dressed in a purple gown with ruffles around the waist, sitting on the floor with balloons, cakes and a huge No. 7 prominently in the background to celebrate her age.

Anthony Davis rarely brings his daughter with him in public. She caught the eyes of reporters when she went with him to the red carpet premiere of “Space Jam: A New Legacy” in July 2021. AD went to the Regal LA Live and 4DX theater to support his LA Lakers teammate LeBron James. Davis did not appear in the movie but had a role as the voice behind his character, "The Brow."
