It’s clear that Kiyan Anthony shares a lot more with his dad, Carmelo Anthony than just his height and basketball skills.
Much like his famous father, Kiyan wears his heart on his sleeve—literally. In a move reminiscent of Carmelo’s own sentimental side, Kiyan recently got a tattoo to honor his mother, La La Anthony. It’s no secret that La La and Kiyan have an unbreakable bond, with La La cherishing every moment she can spend with her son before his budding basketball career takes him away.
La La took to Instagram to share some joyful moments from their family getaway to La Placita de Santurce in Puerto Rico. The pictures capture a night of dancing, laughter, and Kiyan soaking up his cultural roots. “La familia, “ she captioned the post.

Isn’t it heartwarming to see Kiyan Anthony reconnect with his roots? React!
Their relationship is more than just that of a mother and son. Kiyan is also La La’s protector. How? In a candid chat on the Jennifer Hudson Show, La La joked about how Kiyan checks her phone like a hawk, keeping tabs on who she’s talking to. “I’m like, it’s my dad in the house or something,” she laughed, highlighting the unique yet heartwarming dynamic between them. But Kiyan doesn’t stop at just playing the phone police.
He’s all about keeping his mom all to himself, even if that means she stays single forever. “I’m like, ‘You just want your mom to be alone? Like, forever?’ He’s like, ‘Kind of,’” La La recalled. Meanwhile, when his friends call, he’s out the door in a flash, leaving her behind without a second thought.
Yet, Kiyan’s fierce loyalty isn’t just reserved for his mom; it extends to his father as well. Just like Carmelo, Kiyan isn’t afraid to wear his emotions proudly.
Kiyan follows in dad Carmelo Anthony’s footsteps
Just last month, Kiyan Anthony made headlines when InkedNBA shared an Instagram post of the teenager getting some fresh ink. But this wasn’t just any tattoo—it was a heartfelt message dedicated to his mom, La La Anthony. “Dear Mom, you continuously put me before yourself. You are my why. I thank God for you every day,” reads the touching script, accompanied by a portrait of La La on his forearm.

Not surprisingly, Kiyan’s passion for tattoos mirrors that of his dad. Carmelo Anthony is no stranger to body art, boasting more than 20 tattoos that reflect his journey, beliefs, and, most importantly, his family.
Carmelo’s most meaningful tattoos are the ones dedicated to Kiyan. He’s got his son’s full name, “Kiyan Carmelo Anthony,” proudly inked on his right pec, along with Kiyan’s birthdate, “March 7, 2007.” And Melo also has his son’s tiny footprints etched on his chest—a constant reminder of the bond they share.
Carmelo’s connection to his roots also shines through his tattoos. On his right hand, he proudly sports the Puerto Rican flag, a tribute to his father’s heritage.
