Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball is dating an Instagram model more than a decade older than him. The 20-year-old point guard, handpicked by Michael Jordan, has been stealing the spotlight for the last two years for his crafty playmaking, ingenious passing, and fancy handles. Moreover, Ball has established himself as one of the most promising young talents in the NBA, and Michael Jordan and his Charlotte Hornets have definitely struck a good deal by picking him third overall in the 2020 NBA draft.
In two years, Ball has cemented himself as the centerpiece of the Charlotte Hornets franchise. His aesthetics on the court have attracted a lot of attention in the NBA community. However, his actions off the court are equally interesting to a lot of NBA fans.

LaMelo is rumored to be dating a millionaire Instagram model and Fashion Nova ambassador, Analicia Chaves, also known as Ana Montana. Even though the couple has not confirmed their status, they have been spotted together on multiple occasions.
Incidentally, Chaves is about 12 years older than LaMelo Ball. The age gap between the 32-year-old model and 20-year-old Ball has been the talk of the town for some time now.
But the couple seems pretty unbothered by the whole ordeal. In fact, Chaves has recently posed for photos wearing hoodies from LaMelo’s clothing line ‘LaFrance’.
Meanwhile, LaMelo Ball has been also linked with other women. One of them is 26-year-old adult film actress Teanna Trump. Notably, Trump is six years older than LaMelo Ball.
LaMelo’s future with Michael Jordan and the Charlotte Hornets
LaMelo Ball has performed according to the expectations he generated playing for the Chino Hills High School team. In fact, he bagged the 2021 NBA Rookie of the Year award and secured his first all-star selection this year.
However, he still has a long way to go. The Charlotte Hornets failed to qualify for the playoffs this season. After a mediocre 43-39 showing in the regular season, they failed to get over the hump of the play-in tournament.
