She might’ve married one of the best players in the league, but La La Anthony is much more than just a basketball wife. There are a number of other things you could call her: an actress, author, clothing designer, makeup maven, just to name a few.
Becoming Carmelo Anthony’s wife was not the be-all, end-all for La La, and during her latest interview, she’s opening up about maintaining her own independence and identity. Jet magazine tapped La to cover the May issue, in which she explains:
“I have an independent, hustler’s spirit. That drives me to this day. I never want to ask anyone for anything. And that simple thing has kept me motivated because there is something about having your 26 own.”
Between filming the final season of her reality show, a Starz series called Power, Think Like A Man Too, and launching her new clothing line 5th and Mercer, the 34-year-old devoted wife and mother has been keeping herself busy and her career booming, and she offered a few tips on how she does it:
1. Never Stop Doing You – “The difference with me is that when I first got to know my husband I was already hosting MTV’s Total Request Live, so I came with a full career,” she says.
2. Accept That Having It All Will Require Blood, Sweat and Stilettos – When asked about balancing a family, career and friendships, Anthony responded saying, “It’s tough. I always say that people who think it isn’t aren’t being honest.”
3. Sex May Sell, But Love Keeps You Off the Market – “If you don’t try to spice it up and keep it sexy, anyone can get bored but the key is really taking time with each other,” advises Anthony.
Seems like she’s got it all figured out.
