La La Anthony, the ex-wife of NBA legend Carmelo Anthony, shares photos of son Kiyan’s graduation ceremony on her latest Instagram post. Other than Carmelo, various other family members and friends also joined in to celebrate Kiyan’s graduation.
Kiyan graduated from Long Island Lutheran, located in New York, and he will be joining Syracuse University, the same university where Carmelo played basketball. Kiyan has always been in the media since his birth, due to which fans are getting emotional after seeing his graduation photos.
Kiyan graduated from Long Island Lutheran on May 30, 2025, and his parents made sure that it was no less than a party. Both La La and Carmelo Anthony rode to the graduation ceremony along with their troop in complete party-mode, with posters, banners, and face masks.The photos from La La’s Instagram post shows Kiyan receiving his graduation certificate on the stage, and other family members and friends cheering him on. La La also shared some behind-the-scenes of the graduation party they had after the ceremony was over.
Thanks to famous parents, Kiyan had always been in the eyes of the media, due to which fans saw his every move. They saw him enter kindergarten, play basketball for the first time, and now graduating.
After seeing the photos that La La posted, many fans expressed their views on the grief a parent feels when the child moves away.One fan went on to say, “Ohhh I know I’m getting old! I remember her being pregnant with him! My God today!”There were several other fan comments under La La’s post expressing the same viewpoint. Though they congratulated Kiyan on the big step, they also understand how La La must be feeling sending her only son away to the University. Though La La and Carmelo are not together anymore, they co-parent Kiyan, and make sure that he is not affected by the divorce. The couple got engaged in 2004 and tied the knot in 2010, when Kiyan was already 3 years old. Since Carmelo was always in the center of the media light back in those days, it affected their relationship a lot, due to which, the couple called it quits in 2021. However, Kiyan had always been the favorite of the media since his childhood, due to which he was always under heavy scrutiny. Now that Kiyan’s joining Syracuse to play basketball, there will be more spotlight and pressure on him as he’s going there as a prodigy player.
