Knicks star Carmelo Anthony and his wife La La have reportedly separated.
TMZ:Carmelo Anthony was messing around with a woman who now claims she’s pregnant with his baby -- and as you can imagine, his wife, La La, is pissed ... TMZ Sports has learned.
Multiple sources tell us ... the other woman often works at a gentlemen’s club in NYC, and we’re told she’s claiming to be 6 and a half months pregnant with Melo’s child.
Sources close to both Melo and La La are telling us the marriage has been rocky for a while -- and while the pregnancy wasn’t the tipping point, it certainly didn’t help.
So far, neither side has filed divorce papers but we’re told there’s virtually zero chance of a reconciliation.
Anthony was long-rumored to prefer New York, in part, because La La wanted to be there. There was even speculation their separation was impacted by his desire to leave the Knicks.
Now, it seems there’s something else at play.
Anthony can still waive his no-trade clause and escape the Knicks, but it’s not necessarily the straight line out of New York it appeared it could be.
