La La Anthony reportedly files for divorce from Carmelo Anthony

It’s over for La La and Carmelo Anthony.

The former MTV VJ reportedly filed for divorce from the NBA superstar on Thursday after 11 years of marriage and one son together.

According to TMZ, La La, 41, filed the paperwork in New York and cited “irreconcilable differences.”

An insider told the outlet the former couple have been separated “for a while,” but “remain friends, as always, after 16 years together, and everything about the divorce is amicable.”

The source added that Carmelo, 37, and La La’s main priority is their 14-year-old son, Kiyan, and they plan to move forward with a co-parenting relationship.

Page Six has reached out reps for comment.

Although sources told TMZ that the pair had been separated for some time, La La told us last April that she, Carmelo and their son were quarantining together in Los Angeles amid the pandemic.

“I left New York because it was getting a little too hectic quarantining in my small apartment with my nieces, cousins and the rest of my family, so we came out and rented a house in LA,” the actress told Page Six at the time.

La La then shared in August that Kiyan is at “the center of everything.”

“He is watching us, so if we’re out here being reckless or not leading with love, then what kind of example are we setting for him about how he should treat women or how people treat and love each other?” she told Essence Magazine.

However, earlier that year, La La sparked questions that she and Carmelo may no longer be together when she was spotted with “Aquaman” star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.

“That’s a mutual friend and Melo and La are doing just fine,” a source told Page Six in January 2020. “They are back together.”

In 2019, Carmelo was accused of cheating when he was seen hanging out on a yacht with another woman on La La’s birthday.

The ex-Knicks star claimed at the time the “other woman” was actually on the yacht with her husband and that they were all on a business retreat, not a sordid seaborne liaison.

La La and Carmelo have been married since 2010. They separated and reconciled in 2018.
