“I’m never getting married again. It’s one of those things that I feel like I could check it off.” Last year, La La Anthony was pretty clear about the next step in a relationship. Carmelo Anthony and she separated in 2021, and are successfully co-parenting their son. The former couple also appeared on Melo’s podcast when Kiyan chose Syracuse as his next move. So, what about the NBA icon? His relationship status is often questioned, even recently, with his co-founder.

“We’ve been working together – 10, 12 years. I realized she came from a corporate background and had expertise beyond that role.” Once again the 10x All-Star is quick to put any rumors to rest. As he defined his partnership with Asani Swann. “Once we identified her strengths, I wanted to see what she wanted to do, and we started talking [about] businesses. I wanted to bring her up to sit side by side with me in these companies. Let’s go build it,” via Forbes.

Swann is instrumental in not only building the VII(N) The Seventh Estate portfolio but other businesses as well. She was Chief Strategist at Melo Enterprises, Inc., which involved brand strategy, development, business planning, and marketing activities. Plus, she is also the founder of Creative 7 Productions with Carmelo Anthony. The production company started in 2018 and already collaborated with other production companies like Plan B, Will Packer Productions, and Hock Films.

In terms of the wine business, they previously started with just one back in 2020. And now they are a full-fledged wine brand with nine varieties and counting. Asani Swann is also happily married to the love of her life. So her and Melo’s bond is not the one people are assuming on the internet.

Kiyan Anthony has a say on his father Melo’s dating scenario

Both La La Anthony and Melo haven’t publically spoken about their individual relationship status. As previously stated, the BMF star did not want to get married in the future. Is it because of Kiyan Anthony? During the appearance on Jennifer Hudson Show, She stated, “He’s protective, He’s protective. He doesn’t like it, He doesn’t like it at all.”

Although that might be the case, both La La and Carmelo Anthony have prioritized Kiyan’s journey. That’s why both of them show a united front when it comes to co-parenting their son. “It’s important to us for him to be able to see his parents in the same room together and hang out and have fun.We do great at coparenting. I always say Kiyan was made with love and we want to continue that love throughout his entire life. I couldn’t ask for a better partner and the coparenting space.”

In their individual worlds, both are business moguls and manage different business affairs. But there is only one person that is Kiyan. Maybe that could be the reason why even Carmelo Anthony is a little hesitant to find a new partner.
