La La Anthony and her husband, NBA baller Carmelo Anthony, may be separated but it may not be the end of their marriage. 

While talking with Wendy Williams today on her show, the POWER actress revealed that right now, she and the NBA star are not divorcing. 

“Marriages are tough, you know that, we all know that, it’s filled with ups and downs and we’re just going through a time right now,” she said. “But him and I are the best of friends and the number one committment is to our son, Kiyan and we have to set an example to Kiyan and that’s what’s most important to me.”

The 38-year-old had nothing but glowing words for her estranged husband. 

“I would absolutely never say a bad thing about my husband,” she told Wendy. “That’s my son’s father and he is an amazing dad. I could not ask for a better dad.”

Just one day before the interview, the New York Knicks star posted a photo of his wife on Instagram with a sweet message calling her his “earth.” When Wendy prodded as to Melo wanting her back, La La slyly replied, “why wouldn’t he!”

Yes, girl.

“I don’t know what the future holds, I just know that we are doing an incredible job, again, being parents to our son, we are the best of friends. I’ve been with Melo since he was 19 years old, like, you’re not with someone for that long and it just goes out the window. I love him with all of my heart and we are the best of friends.”

There you have it!
