La La Anthony & Carmelo Anthony's relationship
Carmelo Anthony and La La were one of the most recognizable power couples in the NBA for a long time. The pair met in 2003 before becoming engaged the following year and marrying in 2010.
The wedding, which followed the birth of their firstborn son in 2007, was filmed for VH1's "La La's Full Court Wedding," which turned into "La La's Full Court Life." The show followed the TV personality and her husband for five seasons before coming to an end.
After Anthony was traded to the New York Knicks, the couple's relationship began to deteriorate.
During an episode of the "Call Her Daddy" podcast in 2022, Anthony spoke on their split:
“When we lived here (in New York) under all of that [attention], that's when things became complicated. I think that was kind of the start. Now that I look back, that was kind of the start of the demise of the marriage.”
Although the couple are no longer together, Anthony said on the podcast that they're still good friends, and co-parent their son Kiyan together. Kiyan, meanwhile, is working on taking his game to the next level in hopes of one day making it to the NBA just like his dad.
