Carmelo and La La Anthony reach divorce settlement — nine years after breakup

Carmelo and La La Anthony have reached a divorce settlement, five years after La La filed for divorce and nine years after the couple separated. The agreement marks a formal step in ending their marriage, although it remains subject to a judge’s approval.

The couple reportedly notified the court this week, but the settlement terms have not been made public. They were married for seven years and share a 19-year-old son, Kiyan, whom they continue to co-parent. La La previously said the pressures of public attention in New York after Carmelo’s 2011 trade to the Knicks contributed to difficulties in their marriage.
