“I’m on the West Coast. I have a bunch of my family with me. My son, obviously, is here,” she told Access Hollywood at the time. “I was in New York, and I just felt like it was time to get out of New York. I was like, ‘You know, this is not the place to quarantine at anymore. It’s time to go.’ So I grabbed some of my nieces, family members, Kiyan, and we came out west and we are just quarantining now together. Melo is — he’s here somewhere.”
La La and Carmelo first started dating in 2003 and became engaged in 2004. They welcomed son Kiyan in 2007 and married in 2010, doing it on her former VH1 special, La La’s Full Court Wedding.
