But she revealed that she plans to keep her personal romantic life private moving forwardLa La Anthony says her personal life will remain out of the public eye.
The actress appeared on the Thursday, July 31, episode of Complex's 360 with Speedy, and chatted about her love life, telling host Speedy Morman that she's keeping her personal life private.
The Power alum was previously married to retired NBA player Carmelo Anthony for nearly 11 years, before she filed for divorce in June 2021. The former couple share 18-year-old son, Kiyan.
"I think it's good to keep things private until you feel like you're ready for the world to know about it," La La, 43, explained. "I feel like anytime the world gets involved too early, that's when things get messy and messed up."
"A lot of times we get so excited when we meet somebody that it's like, 'I want to post. I want the world to know I'm so into this,' " she said. "Then the comments come and the phone calls, and then you're like, 'This just doesn't feel as good as it did when we were keeping it private.' "
She added: "So, I think keep it private 'til you feel sure, and also 'til you're ready to deal with everything that comes with it and then pop out."
The mom of one then clarified that she doesn't like to 'pop out.' Adding, 'That's not something I've done, like posting and everything ... just because you just want to be careful. I feel like there's a lot of miserable people in the world. Everybody doesn't want to see you happy.'

On July 5, La La posted a TikTok video that includes her trying to tug a man into the frame.
"So sometimes it's nice to tease certain things,' she replied to Morman when asked about the video, and later if it was a "soft launch" of the relationship. 'So sometimes it's nice to [give] just a little peek, but not too much.'
"It's fun to see how invested people are into it," she continued. "I guess I never really feel like people care that much, but then you're like, 'Oh, no. They care. They want to know.' "
The actress also explained what she's looking for in a future relationship, and shared that she's hopeful for what she thinks most people want in a partner.
'I think most people want somebody who believes in God, believes in family. Like, those are the things that I want. I don't think I'm much different than most people,' she explained.

The following year, she reiterated the sentiment during an interview on The Breakfast Club, saying, "I'm not knocking anybody who's married, it didn't work for me.'
