The couple built a family together before tragedy changed her life in April 2016. The former couple married in 2010 and finalized their divorce in 2021 after years of an on-and-off relationship. The 10-time All-Star retired in 2023 following a 19-season NBA career and has since built a second career as a broadcaster and podcast host.
His appearances with Smith therefore stand out. Neither Anthony nor Smith has publicly confirmed they are dating, but their recent appearances have sparked plenty of speculation. Carmelo Anthony’s rumored girlfriend Racquel Smith has drawn attention after appearing alongside the former NBA star during a trip to Saint-Tropez, France. The pair looked comfortable in photos shared by Smith, with Anthony placing his arm around her waist as they posed together in matching black outfits. A separate video also appeared to show the two together in an elevator. Racquel Smith is a fashion model and social media personality who was married to former NFL star Will Smith. Anthony has generally kept his romantic life private since his divorce from La La Anthony. They share son Kiyan Anthony, who plays college basketball at Syracuse, where his father became a star before entering the NBA. The apparent connection with Smith comes during an important period in Anthony’s life after basketball. Anthony, meanwhile, has spent much of his post-NBA life away from the kind of personal headlines that followed him during his playing career.
