La La Anthony is ready to explore dating again, five years after her divorce from former NBA star Carmelo Anthony.
During Thursday’s (October 22) episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show, the conversation initially focused on her son, Kiyan Anthony, who plays for the Syracuse Orange. However, the show’s host soon steered the discussion toward La La’s dating life.
Around the four-minute mark of the video below, the media personality and actress revealed that she is “open” to finding love again.
“I am being open to whatever God has for me, whatever life has for me. I said, ‘This is my season of being open,'” La La told Hudson.
When asked what kind of man would catch her eye, La La kept her answer simple, saying she wants someone who is “confident.”
“Somebody who likes to have fun. good conversation, somebody that likes to do things,” she continued. “I like to do things and have experiences. I don’t want to sit in a house all day. I want to do stuff. So, somebody who’s always down for an adventure.”
La La and Carmelo finalized their divorce in 2021 after nine years of marriage. During an appearance on the Angie Martinez IRL podcast last August, La La opened up about how difficult it was to go through the breakup in the public eye.
“They’re watching everything. So then you have the fake smile … and you’re fucking dying inside,” she said. “It is incredibly hard, incredibly hard. But what are you going to do? You gotta push forward, every day a little bit stronger until you get past it.”
Meanwhile, Carmelo went public with Racquel Smith in June. Smith is the widow of former NFL defensive end Will Smith, who died in 2016 at the age of 34.
