It’s official: La La Anthony and Carmelo Anthony have settled their divorce, with a judgment pending in New York County Supreme Court. The couple split back in 2017, but La La didn’t file until 2021, citing irreconcilable differences. Now, nearly a decade after the separation, the final chapter is here.
The two married in 2010 after a Christmas Day 2004 engagement and share son Kiyan, now 19. Carmelo also welcomed daughter Genesis, 9, with ex-girlfriend Mia Angel Burks in 2017. La La has been candid about the marriage’s unraveling, saying Carmelo’s 2011 trade to the New York Knicks marked the start of the“demise”thanks to the intense media scrutiny that followed.
What stands out most is how they’ve handled it. La La says the exes remain friends and are raising their son together without drama, describing their bond as one that started in friendship and still holds. Do you think staying friends after divorce is realistic, or does it depend on the couple?
