Since her divorce from NBA star Carmelo Anthony, La La Anthony describes the dating world as “interesting.” The actress and journalist first met Carmelo in 2003, got engaged in 2004, and welcomed their son Kiyan in 2007.

Embracing Life After Divorce
According to In Touch, La La is now “living life, having fun, and making amazing memories.” She is focusing on herself and her happiness, enjoying new experiences along the way.
What La La Looks for in a Partner
The BMF actress values two key traits in a potential partner: humor and spontaneity.
“I joke around all day long, so if you can be spontaneous and make me laugh, those are two great qualities.”
While dating in the spotlight presents its own challenges, La La believes the struggle to find the right partner is universal.
“If you talk to women across the world, they’ll say it’s hard to find options. And you don’t just want any options — you want the right ones.”
Her Ideal Date Night
When it comes to romance, La La keeps things simple yet meaningful. She enjoys classic dinner dates, walks in the park, or cozy movie nights.
La La’s Advice: ‘Don’t Settle’
La La firmly believes in staying true to what matters most in a relationship.
“Whatever is important to you, don’t sway from that. There’s somebody in this big world who’s going to match everything you’re looking for.”
Words of Wisdom to Her Younger Self
Reflecting on her journey, La La shared valuable life advice:
“Don’t get caught up in what people say. No matter what you do, not everyone’s going to like it. People are going to have something to say. So, it’s about making yourself happy. If you feel good with your choices, that’s all that matters.”
With a positive mindset and unwavering confidence, La La Anthony is navigating the dating world on her own terms, prioritizing joy, self-respect, and never settling for less.
