Carmelo Anthony

<p>Following La La Anthony&#8217;s <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/407631-la-la-anthony-explains-her-incredibly-hard-decision-to-divorce-carmelo-anthony-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">separation from her ex-husband, Carmelo</a>, her love life has been a hot topic in the media. The actress has a wide-spanning circle of female friends throughout Hollywood. This puts her in contact with some of the industry&#8217;s most eligible bachelors.</p>



<p>However, the <em>BMF</em> actress has maintained her single status for some time now. Much to fans&#8217; pleasure, she often talks about her dating struggles in interviews. While on <em>Call Her Daddy</em>, she vented about the abundance of <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/605888-la-la-anthony-spills-tea-on-younger-men-in-her-dms-watch" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">young men sliding into her DMs</a>. More recently, she told <em>TMZ</em> that she felt as though <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/618028-la-la-anthony-on-her-love-life-i-dont-feel-like-any-guys-want-to-date-me" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">no one wants to date her</a>.</p>

<p>In that same conversation with the gossip site, Anthony made it clear that the 22-year-olds attempting to hit on her don&#8217;t have much of a chance. Still, she did quote <a href="/profile/aaliyah" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Aaliyah</a>, flirtatiously saying, &#8220;age ain&#8217;t nothing but a number.&#8221;</p>



<p>With Valentine&#8217;s Day rapidly approaching, it looks as though the mother of one may have to turn this year into a Galentine&#8217;s affair. She sat down with <em>The Shade Room</em> for an interview earlier this week. At the time, she candidly discussed some of her relationship regrets.</p>



<p>&#8220;I started off really young in my relationship. [I] maybe would have tried to [take] my time a little bit more and learn more about love and partnership and marriage,&#8221; Anthony began. &#8220;And kind of not just jump right into such a heavy, heavy relationship so quickly.&#8221;</p>

<p>When asked about her &#8220;type&#8221; in the same conversation, the 40-year-old shared that she&#8217;s not interested in keeping herself in a box. &#8220;I want to be open. Like I don’t want to just have a type,&#8221; she shared. &#8220;I want to be open to maybe a type that I wouldn’t think was my type or something. That’s not the norm that people would expect from me. I think when you are dating, you do have to be open. Because if you have this super checklist, right, then I don’t think you’re gonna find anybody.&#8221;</p>



<p>For Anthony, romantic highlights in a man are a great personality, strong communication, and honesty.</p>

<p>In other news, Anthony revealed in another recent interview that she once had aspirations of pursuing a rap career. They obviously never transpired, though she did reveal that her entire top five favourites list is covered by just one artist.</p>
