Carmelo Anthony and La La Anthony Reach Divorce Settlement

A long-running divorce case involving former NBA star Carmelo Anthony and entertainer La La Anthony has reached a settlement agreement, according to court records obtained by TMZ. The former couple informed the court of their agreement this week, although a judge has not yet approved the terms. The financial and other conditions of the settlement remain confidential.

Neither the details of the agreement nor the final judicial approval have been disclosed in the report published by TMZ on November 4, 2026. La La filed for divorce in 2021, citing irreconcilable differences, according to TMZ. The legal proceedings followed a separation that began in 2017, after the couple had been married for seven years.

Their separation occurred amid rumors of infidelity involving Carmelo Anthony. Despite attempting to repair their relationship, the two ultimately moved forward with divorce proceedings.

When La La filed for divorce, sources previously told TMZ that the pair had already been living separately for some time but remained friends. The sources also described their separation as amicable rather than hostile. The couple's son, Kiyan Anthony, is now 19 years old. His transition into adulthood meant that child support was no longer an outstanding issue in the divorce proceedings, according to TMZ.

Kiyan has also begun his college basketball career at Syracuse University, where he is a sophomore. The university has a personal connection to his father, who played basketball there before winning a National Championship. Carmelo Anthony's career at Syracuse remains a notable part of his basketball background. The former NBA player won a national title with the university before establishing his professional career.

The divorce settlement remains subject to judicial approval, and the agreement's confidential terms have not been made public.
