Carmelo Anthony & La La Vazquez

Carmelo Anthony and La La (Alani Vazquez) met through a mutual friend, DJ Clue. Carmelo was interested in meeting La La and the two were introduced. They started as friends and then progressed into a romantic relationship. Carmelo said that La La’s eyes attracted him to her. Carmelo reportedly sent La La a bottle of Moet & Chandon in a New York night club to try and impress her. The two got engaged on Christmas Day in 2004. While engaged they had a son, Kiyan Carmelo Anthony, who was born in March of 2007. The two eventually did get married in New York in July 2010. The wedding ceremony was filmed as part of a VH1 reality show La La’s Full Court Wedding. Since then the married couple now stars in a similar VH1 show La La’s Full Court Life. There has been some controversy with the couple’s relationship. It was reported that fellow NBA star Kevin Garnett once said that La La “tasted like Honey Nut Cheerios”. This was denied by La La in her book The Love Playbook. In February 2014 Carmelo was caught staring at a woman during one of his basketball games. La La has said that she is totally against the idea of giving her man a free pass to cheat.
