La La Anthony's wedding
La La Vasquez and NY Knicks basketball legend, Carmelo Anthony, was introduced by the MTV host, DJ Clue, and within four years, they had a son together named Kiyan.
Is Lala Anthony married? By 2004, Carmelo had popped the question on Christmas Day, allegedly after Kiyan began asking questions about their family dynamic. These lovebirds shared their vows on 10 July 2010 at a star-studded ceremony at their home, with 320 guests including celebrities such as Kelly Rowland, Serena Williams, Le Bron James, and Kim Kardashian, just to name a few.
The two have subsequently split up after it was discovered that Carmelo had reportedly impregnated a stripper. They separated in 2017, but Alani only filed for divorce in June 2021.
"And I'm like, 'To be honest, I didn't expect that.' I didn't go into this marriage expecting that."
Alani and Carmelo have made an effort to remain friends through this ordeal for the sake of their son, Kiyan, who has just turned 17 in 2021.
"We started as best friends and I love that we still have that friendship. We're raising a kid together, there's no drama with us."
