La La Anthony Says Knicks Trade For Carmelo Led To 'Demise' Of Marriage
La La Anthony On Melo Marriage ... Knicks Trade Led To Our Demise
La La Anthony is spillin' more tea on her marriage to Carmelo ... revealing this week that the Knicks trade for her former NBA superstar hubby led to the couple's "demise."
The T.V. personality went on Alex Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" podcast on Wednesday to talk about the difficulties of being a wife of a 10-time NBA All-Star ... and she unveiled that everything was good between the two -- until New York got involved.
La La -- who married Melo in July 2010 -- says their relationship was gravy when the basketball player was starring for the Denver Nuggets ... but got dicey when he was traded to the Knicks in February 2011.
“When we lived here [in New York] under all of that [attention], that's when things became complicated," La La said.
"I think that was kind of the start. Now that I look back, that was kind of the start of the demise of the marriage."
The NY native says the bright lights of the city weren't the only things that started the problems between her and Melo, but they were some of the hardest things to deal with.
"That's not the only reason things didn't work out, but things got tough with New York. Just constantly being under the spotlight and people watching every little thing."
La La ultimately filed for divorce from Melo in 2021, citing irreconcilable differences, but she told Cooper they're still friends ... and are co-parenting their 15-year-old son, Kiyan, without issues.
"It wasn't all bad," she said. "Like, we had great, great times."
La La says she is dating again ... but is not open to NBA players anymore.
As for other sports stars -- well, watch the clip, she didn't say no to that!
