Lala and Carmelo Anthony met in 2003. The hazel-eyed video jockey captured the attention of the blossoming athlete who was so interested in her that he asked friend–DJ Clue, what he knew about the Latina television host.
The chemistry between the two was undeniable and not too long after Carmelo proposed on Christmas Day! Lala gave birth to their baby boy a year later and he was given Carmelo’s middle name–Kiyan! Lala Vasquez officially became Lala Anthony on a sunny day in July!
Why She Loves Him:
Lala loves being Carmelo Anthony’s wife, she has said so herself, but even through-out being labeled a “Basketball Wife,” Lala has never settled as one. She is independent and a hard-worker and Carmelo has never stood in her way and only encourages her dreams. Carmelo is a family man and they work as a unit to raise their son who adores him, just as much as Lala does. He is a the ultimate role-model to Kiyan and other young boys who watch him dribble up and down the court everyday. Not to mention, he is a great athlete who provides for his family!
