Carmelo and La La Anthony Still Going Strong Amid Fallout With Houston Rockets

Carmelo Anthony‘s professional life may be in turmoil but things seem to be going just fine in his personal life.

According to a Page Six source, the NBA veteran was spotted having a cozy dinner with his wife La La Anthony and their son Kiyan at Mulino in Manhattan recently.

Not too long ago, the Houston Rockets announced they would be parting ways with Melo after just 10 games. This came after the future Hall of Famer and the Oklahoma City Thunder split after one season, because Melo didn’t fit offense. And he had the same problem with the Rockets.

But based on the insider’s account, basketball looked like it was the furthest thing from his mind at the restaurant.

“It was an early dinner, and they were all sharing,” the source explained. “It was cozy family time. They were very sweet.”

The family dinner is the latest sign that Melo and La La are repairing their relationship after being estranged for some time. There were rumors that the former New York Knick cheated on her and fathered a child by a woman named Mia Angel. But that hasn’t been confirmed or disproven.

On top of that, Melo and La La have been attending events together and seen packing on the PDA.

“They are working out their relationship and they’ve always remained friends,” said someone who knows the couple. “They’re around each other, and it’s for the betterment of their situation.”

As of now, although he’s off the team, Melo hasn’t been officially waived by the Rockets, because they’re waiting to see if another team will pick him up. Because if not, they’ll have to pay a $2.6 luxury tax since that was Melo’s veteran minimum salary.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
