Out of the most adorable NFL couples, Russell Wilson and Ciara stand apart. Supportive of each other through thick and thin, they always shower love, be it in their lives, in public, or on social media. That’s what their friend Lala Anthony also noticed when she was going through a tough time in her marriage with the NBA legend Carmelo Anthony.

While talking about the quarterback and his wife on The Breakfast Club in 2023, the actress praised them, even calling them ‘a positive role model.‘ She reminisced about the time when she was married. However, she wasn’t happy in her marriage and watched the couple with the hope that she would also have a similar life at some point in time.

“I’m happy that I’m able to have that example to still have that hope that kind of love and connection really does exist. But that’s not the norm of what I see,” she said when she revealed that most people she had around her didn’t have a happy marriage. It affected her mentally, but she was fortunate enough to have good friends who gave her realistic advice.

Lala and Anthony got engaged in 2004, followed by marriage in 2010. For many years, they were the ideal couple. But in 2018, rifts happened. They started living separately before reconciling. However, in 2021, they filed for divorce. She often turned to her friend Ciara for advice who has always helped her.

Years later, her son, Kiyan Anthony, has made her proud. And her good friends, Russell Wilson and Ciara, are celebrating his success on social media.

Though children usually suffer after the parents separate, Kiyan Anthony hasn’t. His unwavering focus has taken him to great heights. Following in his father’s footsteps, he has joined Syracuse University. Messages are pouring in from everywhere.

Steelers QB also forwarded his wishes via an Instagram story with his photo and a message that read, “Congrats @kiyananthony.” His wife was also on cloud 9 after seeing Lala’s achievement and posted an IG story with his video and wrote, “Go @kiyananthony. So so proud of you! All your hard work is paying off! The sky is the limit Young Legend!”

Kiyan had been earning name and fame in basketball for quite some time now. As a shooting guard and a forward, he played for Long Island Lutheran High School in 2023 while signing a NIL deal with PSD. He showed his interest in Syracuse in October when he visited the campus with his father. Life has come full circle for the NBA legend. His son will be playing at the same university where he played 2 decades ago.
