When La La and Carmelo Anthony announced their split in 2021, fans were surprised. After over a decade of marriage, the couple went their separate ways, leaving behind years of red carpet moments and shared milestones. Since then, La La has taken a step toward fresh beginnings. She’s focused on acting, especially her role in Power, and building a calming life in Brooklyn. “When I go home, I want to have that moment where I can just exhale and feel relaxed and comfortable,” she told AD, explaining how she wanted her space to feel like peace in the middle of city chaos. But what about Carmelo?

Even after retiring from the NBA, he’s still very much in the spotlight. He’s gearing up for his Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and fans haven’t forgotten his impact on the game. But in off-court business, his real estate moves haven’t gone unnoticed either; he tried to sell his Chelsea condo, made renovations, and it’s now listed for $12.5 million. Even after retirement, Melo is making headlines, only now it’s in the world of luxury listings.

News has surfaced that the apartment he once rented during his Knicks era is back on the market. The prime Fifth Avenue spot is asking $43,000 a month and spans over 4,000 square feet. With views of Central Park, a gas fireplace, Italian cabinetry, and radiant bathroom floors, it screams quiet luxury. As agents Ruthie and Ethan Assouline put it, “This apartment has consistently attracted high-caliber renters over the years.” It’s a blend of prewar charm and modern design, exactly the kind of home a young star would choose during his NYC prime.

Before this, the ex-couple sold another property, one with real history. Their Spanish-style Los Angeles home sold for $3 million, above asking price. Tucked behind hedges, it had vintage touches like wood-beamed ceilings and dark floors. The cozy layout, plunge pool, and spa-style bathroom made it feel both warm and refined. Purchased around their wedding in 2010, it marked the start of their journey, one they’ve now closed for good. And its been a difficult page to turn, admits La La.

La La gets candid about divorce, pressure, and co-parenting with Carmelo Anthony

La La Anthony didn’t hold back when she spoke about life after her divorce from NBA star Carmelo Anthony. Though she was always financially independent, she admitted that the emotional support was gone. “You’re on your own at that point… and that puts a different responsibility, sometimes a different amount of pressure,” she shared. She spoke about being the go-to person in her family, saying, “I don’t have anyone to call. There’s pressure there, but I don’t mind it.”

Despite their split, La La had only praise for Carmelo when it came to their son, Kiyan. “My son’s dad is the greatest dad I know, and I am just so blessed that we have a child together,” she said. She made it clear that their son benefits from having both parents present. Over the years, she’s focused on showing up for Kiyan, whether it’s for school events or basketball tournaments.

“For the most part, he can say that my mom’s always been there for all of my moments,” she said proudly. La La also talked about teaching Kiyan to value his name over any paycheck. “Don’t be related to brands just for money, do things you are passionate about,” she told him. Through the ups and downs, La La is holding it down and doing it with heart.

Through heartbreak and real estate shifts, La La and Carmelo have shown what evolving after love looks like. While the homes they once shared are being passed on, the one thing they’ve held onto is their shared love for Kiyan, and that’s a foundation no sale can touch.
