La La Anthony On Her Love Life: “I Don’t Feel Like Any Guys Want To Date Me”

A new year is a time for new beginnings and optimism. However, not everyone is able to maintain cheer in every aspect of their life. For example, La La Anthony is having a hard time finding her prince charming – or so she told TMZ this week.

The gossip blog caught up with the mother of one at LAX recently. At the time, they asked about comments she made last year on the Call Her Daddy podcast. If you didn’t tune in, the Power starlet dished about the men in her DMs, specifically noting that they’re often much younger than her.

“Literally, guys will DM me, or wanna take me out. I’ll Google them and I’ll be like, ‘You’re 22 years old?!’ Like, HOW?!” she told host Alex Cooper.

Since then, it seems Anthony hasn’t had any luck settling down with a suitor. When TMZ asked about her prior comments on the podcast, she said, “I retract my statement. It’s the top of the year and I don’t feel like any guys wanna date me,” she teased with a smile and laugh.

When the interviewer asked her about her dream man’s age, she playfully said, “Age ain’t nothin’ but a number!” while hopping in the backseat of her waiting vehicle. Pressing for more, the journalist prompted her to pick between a 22-year-old guy and a 40-year-old man.

“I prefer whoever is for me,” she wisely responded. “Whoever God says is for me, I’m good with it.” However, she noted afterward that “22 is a little too young.” When it comes to 34, though, “we can do that,” she says.

Before embarking on her journey back into the world of dating, La La was married to NBA player Carmelo Anthony. They were married for seven years, and share one son, 15-year-old Kiyan, who they continue to co-parent.

TLC’s Chilli Dating Matthew Lawrence, Rep Says She’s “In Love”

After initially denying that they were dating, TLC’s Rozanda “Chilli” Thomas and ’90s heartthrob Matthew Lawrence have confirmed their romance. The 51-year-old singer and 42-year-old actor were previously spotted vacationing together. Paparazzi photographed them enjoying time at the beach; however, rumors of a budding relationship were quickly thwarted.

Yet, the pair are kicking off the new year by revealing to the world that they are, indeed, seeing one another. PEOPLE reported that Chilli’s representative confirmed the gossip, adding that the couple began dating sometime around Thanksgiving.

Chilli and Lawrence have reportedly known each other for some time as they both emerged as 1990s stars. The singer’s rep also stated that Lawrence spent the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays with Chilli and her relatives.

“I’ve been with Chilli since 2005 and I’ve never seen her this in love,” the rep told PEOPLE. “She is glowing. They are really cute together.”

The TLC hitmaker has been tied to major players like Dallas Austin and Usher, but most of her love life has gone unknown. Back in 2010, What Chilli Wants premiered and documented the singer’s quest to find true love.
