The former Knicks player turned free agent played five seasons for the NBA. But after a bad injury in 2016, he was forced to retire and became a college basketball scout for the San Antonio Spurs. While his career took a hit, his love life certainly did not. In 2014 he met his what would-be wife, model, Elaine Alden. The two got engaged pretty early on in the relationship.
They were married by July of that year. They now have two sons, Jackson, who was born in 2013 and Kai who was born in 2016. As a family, they identify as Christians and try to maintain those values.
Alani Vasquez and Carmelo Anthony
Born Carmelo Kyam Anthony, this NBA star has been dubbed an All-Star 10 times. No doubt that success attracts success, because Alani Vasquez, better known as La La is a producer, TV reporter and even an author of a New York Times Best Seller.
The two got engaged on Christmas day in 2004 and 3 years later on March 7, 2007, they had their first son, Kiyan Carmelo Anthony. By 2010 they were married. It's safe to say that they had their fair share of issues. The couple has since filed for divorce but in the end, decided to not go through with it. Looks like they're trying to take time to work things out.
Dion Phaneuf and Elisha Cuthbert
Ice hockey champion, Dion Phaneuf's has played for just about every team out there including the Calgary Flames, Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators and the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League. This makes him an unrestricted free agent, free to "play the field", or the ice-rink in his case. While he does this professionally, he certainly doesn't do that personally.
Phaneuf has been married to Hollywood actress and fellow Canadian, Elisha Cuthbert since 2013. The couple had a beautiful Canadian wedding in Prince Edward Island. In 2017, the two had their first baby, a daughter.
Tony Parker and Axelle Francine
This French American Basketball star player has played in both France and the sates. The athlete who is now retired was a point guard with the Spurs. There, he won four NBA championships as well as the heart of his beautiful wife, French journalist, Axelle Francine. Two years after meeting, they got married in San Antonio. They now have two sons, Josh and Liam.
This is Parker's second marriage. Previously he was married to Desperate Housewives and Dora The Explorer actress, Eva Longoria. Their marriage lasted only 3 years. Let's hope he does better this time around.
Laura Harrier & Klay Thompson
Basketball star, Klay Thompson has been playing for the Golden Warriors since 2011. As a five-time NBA all-star, his life off the field is just as stellar. His relationships with Laura Harrier was made public in 2018. Since then, the athlete has been pretty serious with the soap star, Laura Herrier.
Still, they do try to keep a low-profile but it's hard since they are both in the spotlight. Occasionally cute pics of them pop up on social media. We suppose time will tell what their future holds.
