Ciara Wilson, wife of Steelers’ QB Russell Wilson, had a heartwarming post for former NBA star Carmelo Anthony’s ex-wife, Lala. She received an abundance of love from the Wilsons on her 42nd birthday, even after her well-publicized divorce in 2021. 

Ciara took to IG to share a heartfelt message for her “Bestie Boo Queen Leezi Boo,” gushing about Lala’s inner beauty and unfailing love. She continued by calling Lala a “boss,” praising her feats as an actress and businesswoman. Ciara ended the caption with, “God made a special girl on this day, and I’m so grateful she’s my friend. I love you so much!” Lala answered, obviously moved, by referring to Ciara as her “ride or die” friend.

Pittsburgh’s star QB Russell Wilson joined the birthday tribute. He shared a picture of Lala, captioning it, “Happy Birthday, sis. You are a blessing to everyone and a real queen” These actions affirm the close relationship the Wilsons have with Lala, even after her divorce with Anthony. Despite the breakup, she’s secured a lucrative job and $30M net worth. 

While Ciara and Russell just had Win Harrison Wilson, their fourth child, Lala co-parents her son Kiyan with ten-time NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony. Denver Nuggets forward, Anthony, proposed to the 31-year-old former MTV VJ during Christmas and they got engaged in 2003. Although the BMF star doesn’t see herself being married anytime soon, Lala shares her “love” aspirations.

La La Anthony looks forward to a new chapter 

The former NBA superstar’s ex-wife, Lala, has always been obsessed with the Wilsons. Following her 2021 split from Carmelo Anthony, Lala stated she was “caught off guard” by the divorce. The 42-year-old quietly hinted at her love goals for the new year, wanting a relationship like Ciara and Russell Wilson. La La Anthony’s fans praised her vulnerability and optimism. 

Beyond the birthday shout-outs and celebrity gossip, La La Anthony, a constant in the entertainment industry, became famous on Total Request Live (TRL) with her contagious personality, later using her magnetism to host more shows. Lala also appeared in the Starz original drama series, Power, and currently stars in 50 cent’s series BMF. As her career grew, she amassed a $30 million net worth thanks to her varied approach to entertainment. 

With Ciara and Russell Wilson as her pillars of support, Lala has signified her independent success as she embarks on a new chapter.
