La La Anthony considered herself single "years" before she ever decided to end her 15-year marriage with NBA star Carmelo Anthony.
The 39-year-old Power actress spoke out for the first time about her decision to file for divorce. Opening up about the painful topic on The Angie Martinez Show, Kim Kardashian's best friend got candid about leaving Carmelo for good.
La La filed for divorce from the 37-year-old Los Angeles Lakers player in June despite their marriage was on-again, off-again for years.
Because of their complicated relationship, La La says she thought of herself as "single for years."
"It's been years now," she explained to Angie. "To a lot of people, it feels like this single thing is new. Like, it's been years now that we've separated and stuff, so I've dealt with the emotions behind it and everything."
Revealing she "still has her moments," La La continued, "For the most part, I can talk about it now and laugh about it, and find the humor in it all. Otherwise, I'd be a basket case — I already went through that part."
