Kiyan Anthony now has a symbol of permeance reflecting the love he holds for his mother. Carmelo Anthony‘s 17-year-old has time and again displayed the affection and respect he has for La La Anthony. And this works both ways as La La, too, could miss anything but a chance to shower her son with all the love and support. Whether it be cheering for Kiyan through social media posts or her presence at his games. No wonder the budding basketball player decided to honor this bond with ink and blood.
The inkednba shared an IG post featuring Kiyan Anthony getting a tattoo on his forearm. “Dear Mom, you continuously put me before yourself. You are my why. I thank God for you everyday,” reads the tattoo, as revealed in the caption to the IG post. As seen in the images shared in the post, the tattoo also includes La La Anthony’s image, along with the heartfelt note.
The gesture comes amid the mother-son duo’s trip to Tokyo, Japan. Curious about how the two have been spending their time in the city? La La recently shared an IG post captioned “Tokyo has my heart” (in Japanese), where she has shared a series of snaps from the trip. While some include them strolling through the streets of Tokyo, one video featured both undertaking Katana lessons. The Power star also shared a series of IG stories. From shopping to visiting the laser show, the mother-son duo is clearly having a blast.
“Couldn’t ask for a better partner and the co-parenting space”: La La credit Carmelo Anthony in Kiyan’s co-parenting
During an exclusive interview with E! News, the 42-year-old star has navigated through a new chapter of her life with her ex-husband by keeping Kiyan as the priority over everything. The former couple, who parted their ways in 2021 after over a decade of being married, have shared a cordial bond to act as loving co-parents to their 17-year-old son.
But how does a couple maintain such a friendly bond even after separation? “At the end of the day, the center of everything is Kiyan…” La La explained, speaking to E! News. She emphasized her belief in reflecting to her kid that his parents love each other and that they can be a family, irrespective of the circumstances.
Further, in the interview, La La highlighted that she and Carmelo Anthony made Kiyan with a great amount of love and they want to continue that love for him throughout his life. “I couldn’t ask for a better partner and the co-parenting space,” she said. And so far everything La La said in the interview seems to stand true, as Kiyan shares a great bond with both his father and mother.
