Though he may be most known for being an NBA player for the Los Angeles Lakers, Anthony Davis is also Marlen Polanco Davis’ spouse.
The couple married in a star-studded ceremony in September 2021 after being together since at least 2017, when they had their first child. Since the arrival of their daughter Nala in November 2017, they have also welcomed two sons together.
Though the basketball pro isn’t keen on sharing too much of his life off the court, he has made it known how important family is to him.
The greatest luxury in life is family. I think no matter what you go through, your family is always going to be there,” he told Haute Living in 2019. “You can get into it with them — argue with, complain, go through a low point in your life, have something great or something bad going on — they’re always going to be there.”
“That’s why I’m big on family. No matter what I do or what I have, I know my family’s not going to change; they’re always going to be there for me. Even when we fuss and fight, I know I can always count on them,” he shared.
Nala was also her father’s date to the Los Angeles premiere of Space Jam: A New Legacy at the Regal LA Live & 4DX theater in July 2021. She held a stuffed Bugs Bunny and posed on the purple carpet with her dad, who voiced himself (a.k.a. The Brow) in the animated film.
“I hadn’t really thought about [doing anything Hollywood-related]; basketball is my focus. Obviously [though], me and LeBron are very close, and he asked if I wanted to be in a movie with him,” he told Haute Living in 2019. “I felt like it was a cool opportunity for me, being that Space Jam is one of my favorite movies, so I jumped on board.
