I remember when Carmelo Anthony and La La got married back in 2010. Back then, I didn’t really care about either of them. But these days, I’m paying more attention, mostly because I watch ESPN while I’m at the gym, and there’s so much talk about Melo’s dysfunctional relationship with Knicks president Phil Jackson. I’ve also learned more about La La Anthony, who is seemingly BFFs with every famous African-American woman in music/sports/media. La La is tight with Serena Williams, Ciara, Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Kelly Rowland, Gabrielle Union and more. La La’s rolodex is tight. Melo’s is too – other players like him and respect him, and everyone’s sweating the gossip that the Knicks are close to trading him. Together, La La and Carmelo are sort of the dream power couple of New York, second only to Beyonce and Jay-Z (and even then I think La La has more friends than B). So what happens when a power couple separates? That’s apparently happening and it’s so sad.
Carmelo and La La Anthony are separated … TMZ has learned. Sources close to the couple tell us the actress and NBA superstar are now living separately. La La moved out of the family home last week and has her own place in NYC now.
We’re told the couple’s had ups and downs in the past, but the current NBA season has been extremely stressful on the marriage for several months. Carmelo’s been plagued by trade talks … with the Knicks looking to move him to another team.
Our sources say the split is still amicable. They were together just this past weekend at their 10-year-old son Kiyan’s basketball game. We’re told La La and Carmelo have NO plans to uproot Kiyan from his friends and school in NY. Problem is … it seems likely Carmelo will have to leave town, because just last week Knicks President Phil Jackson said it was time for him to go. Neither is talking divorce yet, just separation. The couple got married in 2010.

It sounds like La La is waiting to see if Melo gets traded and where. My theory is that she’s not going to uproot her life and her son’s life if Carmelo gets traded to a city that sucks. But what if he gets traded to the Cavaliers and gets to be teammates with LeBron? That’s one rumor floating around. Would La La move to Cleveland? That city is apparently in the midst of what some are calling “the LeBron Boom” – where suburbanites are moving back into the city because LeBron has made Cleveland cool again.
Yeah, and of course TMZ did a follow-up on the “real reason” Carmelo and LaLa separated… he maybe/probably knocked up a stripper. TMZ calls the woman a “dancer” at a “gentleman’s club,” which is just a fancy way of saying stripper, yes? Apparently the woman is more than six months pregnant and she wants Melo to pay for her baby expenses. LaLa is furious and sources say there’s no way Carmelo and LaLa will get back together, trade or no trade.
