La La and Carmelo Anthony’s relationship
“New York’s first couple” met through their mutual friend, DJ Clue. After having a memorable first date in Long Beach, California, Carmelo popped the question on Christmas of 2004. Four years later, on March 7, 2007, they welcomed their only child together into the world, Kiyan. The couple then officially tied the knot on July 10, 2010, at Cipriani’s in New York. Two years later, the first accusations of infidelity came to light from a then 19-year-old woman.
She claimed she dated Carmelo for two months after he direct messaged her on Twitter. The following year, former NBA player Kevin Garnett told Carmelo that La La “tasted like Honey Nut Cheerios” in the middle of a basketball game. After this situation, sources began reporting the Anthonys were having issues in their marriage. The couple ended up living separately for two months.
Then, in 2015, a woman accused La La of cheating on Carmelo with her alleged boyfriend, rapper Maino. However, Maino and La La deny any inappropriate interactions. In 2017, Mia Angel Burks came forward claiming Carmelo is the father of her daughter Genesis, leading to the couple separating again in April of that year. The couple seemingly rekindled their romance the following year as they have posted pictures on social media and attended events together.
However, La La’s rep told Entertainment Tonight in July 2019 that she “is proceeding with legal discussions as the next step in their relationship.” Her rep continued that the couple had issues for a while, but the decision to split was “amicable” and the two “will remain loving and committed parents to their son.”
