La La Anthony and her husband of two years, Knicks star forward Carmelo Anthony, are struggling to keep their marriage together — so much so that La La had temporarily moved in with pal Loren Ridinger, creator of Motives Cosmetics, the company funding her new makeup line, Motives by La La. She was camped out at Ridinger’s Miami mansion for the past few months.
“There’s major trouble in paradise. Last week Melo had reservation at SL for a boys’ night out, but canceled last-minute,” a source tells Confidenti@l. “When he called the manager to cancel, La La was yelling in the background and he was screaming, ‘Okay, I get it, shut up!!’ to her while on the phone with the restaurant.”
The source says La La, known in basketball circles as very sweet and generous, returned to New York last week, where she hit Cipriani twice with the same girlfriend, who enjoyed a day drinking with Melo’s other half. “She was drinking too much in the middle of the day and started crying to her friend at one of the lunch occasions,” says our source. “Melo and her are ‘living’ together still, but while here she spent the night in the Gansevoort Park hotel last Thursday.”
Although divorce rumors persist, the duo seem to be putting on a front for both their 5-year-old son, Kiyan, and the cameras. “La La’s Full Court Life” just wrapped its third season in November, and will air early this spring.
“From what everyone on the show knows, they have their disagreements, but they are not divorcing,” says a source close to the couple. “She has been in Miami and the problems seem to be over how much time she is dedicating to getting her makeup line launched, which she is expecting to make millions internationally. It’s a major story line in her show.”
Together, La La and Melo own Krossover Productions, which produced the hit documentary “Tyson” as well as their own reality series.
