Divorced from Carmelo Anthony, Ex-Wife La La Breaks Silence on Dealing With the Aftermath After 3 Years: ?When I Say Not Blame Yourself??

Throughout his NBA journey, Carmelo Anthony was always a family man. However, he went through a devastating divorce with his now ex-wife in 2021 because of ?irreconcilable differences?. Despite being from New York, La La has previously stated that Melo’s trade to the Knicks was the beginning of their end as a couple. Now, the TV star finally opened up about the aftermath of her divorce from the 10x All-Star.

On his podcast, Jay Shetty initially asked La La if there was any thought that guided her or helped her during her divorce. La La Anthony immediately responded, ?Just not to blame myself. You know, ?This isn?t your fault?, not to blame myself. That always kind of stuck with me because it is easy to just blame yourself or get down on yourself for what was it that you did.?

She further explains, ?I?m not saying ?Don?t take accountability for whatever you might have done in the situation?. It?s important to sit back and say, ?Okay, where could I have been better?? Because life is about being better and learning.?

The ex-NBA couple still have common ground regarding their son, Kiyan Anthony. Both Melo and La La do a great job of co-parenting their 16-year-old son. Kiyan recently sparked rumors of him following his father?s footsteps after his recent official visit to Syracuse, his father?s alma mater. Nevertheless, what was the reason for their divorce?

The trade to the New York Knicks changed things on the personal front for Carmelo Anthony

A couple of years ago, the 44-year-old actress opened up on the reasons for their divorce. She stated that moving to a big city like New York from Denver came with its added scrutiny. Constantly being under the spotlight and people watching their every move was tough.

While she admitted there were more reasons than just New York, it did play a big part. Melo got traded to the Knicks in February 2011 in a blockbuster trade. Even though there were major expectations for the newly formed Knicks, things never really worked out as they managed to only reach as far as the Conference Semis during Melo’s 6-year stay in the Big Apple.

The former couple might not have the fondest memories of New York, but they have a son who has allowed them to mend their differences and focus on his growth as a basketball star. What are your thoughts on La La Anthony and Carmelo Anthony?s divorce? Comment below!
