Carmelo Anthony and La La Anthony are reportedly close to ending their marriage for good, more than five years after she filed for divorce.
The NBA star and the actress told the court this week that they had reached a settlement, according to court records obtained by TMZ. The terms are confidential, and the judge has not signed off on the deal yet.
The couple got engaged on Christmas Day 2004 and married in New York City. They separated in April 2017 amid rumors that Carmelo had cheated. La La filed for divorce on June 17, 2021, citing irreconcilable differences.
The couple share 19-year-old son Kiyan, who is a sophomore at Syracuse, the school where his father won a national championship. TMZ noted that because Kiyan is now an adult, child support is no longer an issue.
The settlement now goes to the judge. Once it's approved, the divorce case La La filed in 2021 will be formally closed.
In a recent interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show, La La admitted that she is “open” to dating again.
"I am being open to whatever God has for me, whatever life has for me. I said, 'This is my season of being open,'" she told Hudson.
When asked what time of man can catch her attention, she responded, "Somebody who likes to have fun. good conversation, somebody that likes to do things. I like to do things and have experiences. I don't want to sit in a house all day. I want to do stuff. So, somebody who's always down for an adventure."
