La La Anthony Talks Balancing Her Marriage And Career

La La Anthony is never satisfied. This basketball wife is doing anything but sitting at home thinking about the whereabouts her husband, New York Knicks baller Carmelo Anthony. Instead, on the cover of Latina magazine La La said she’s never satisfied.

“I’m never satisfied–career-wise, I mean–I’m always looking for the next thing; that’s just my personality,” she says. “Why can’t I be a great mom, wife, TV host, actress, producer, have my own reality show and makeup line? The hard part is the balancing of it all.”

On the balancing end, the multi-hyphenate star says the key to maintaining love in her relationship is space.

“It’s been 15 days since I’ve seen my husband. That’s a long time for us to go without seeing each other. But I went on this whirlwind of launching the makeup line and my husband’s a basketball player. It’s not like he can say, ‘Hey, I’m not playing in the game today, I’m going to meet up with my wife somewhere.’ We’ve been together for eight years and I think we’ve lasted this long because we give each other space.   But there’s also that time where it can be too much space.”

La La also added on the topic of trust,

“I wouldn’t say it’s a misconception, because there are a lot of athletes who do live a certain life with women everywhere,” La La says. “So you can’t act like it’s the craziest thing you’ve ever heard, because it is out there. But I’m secure in my relationship. I’m happy with having my own thing going on. I don’t spend all day worrying about what he’s doing. In that sense, I trust him.”
