LaVar Ball has garnered a reputation for having the most outrageous takes and unabashed optimism. Regardless of your perspective on LaVar, he has played a significant role in the development of two NBA stars, Lonzo and LaMelo Ball. While Lonzo’s career has stagnated due to unfortunate injuries, his younger brother, LaMelo, has blossomed into a star. LaMelo would look to have a much better season, as he suffered various injuries last season.

However, his father, LaVar has chosen to focus on his son’s off-court choices. LaVar recently discussed LaMelo’s involvement in a romantic relationship with a woman 12 years his senior.

LaVar Approves LaMelo’s Relationship

In a recent interview with VladTV, LaVar expressed his feelings regarding LaMelo’s relationship. During the conversation, LaVar approved LaMelo’s relationship with Ana Montana, who has recently turned 34-years-old. He said, “The woman that Melo has, Ana, I like her. Everybody is stuck on that thing like ‘she’s so old, he’s so young’. You don’t hear about my son beating up her. She a woman”. LaMelo started to date Ana in November 2022.

Ana has gained a massive following on Instagram. The model has 3.3 million followers on Instagram and has modeled for magazines like ‘Vibe’ and ‘Smooth’. The 34-year-old influencer’s real name is Analicia Chaves. However, LaVar has expressed his approval publicly now.

Many people speculated that LaVar would have a problem with his son’s relationship choices. LaVar has consistently emphasized his traditional family values, prioritizing his family’s well-being above everything else. He tied the knot with Tina Slatinsky in 1997, and the pair have three sons: Lonzo (26), LiAngelo (24), and LaMelo (22).
