#RHOA: Kandi Burruss Talks Divorce, Broadway and Life After RHOA
Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, entrepreneur and Real Housewives of Atlanta fan favorite Kandi Burruss is bringing her highly anticipated one-woman show, I Do. I Did. I’m Done., to City Winery Philadelphia on June 18.
Ahead of her Philadelphia appearance, Burruss chatted with The City Pulse to discuss the deeply personal production, which was inspired by her recent divorce and will give audiences an intimate look at one of the most challenging chapters of her life. The show combines music, storytelling, candid conversation, humor and even never-before-seen footage recorded during the breakdown of her marriage.
"It's all the emotions," Burruss explained. "One minute you're going to be having fun, we're going to be dancing, it's going to be a party. One minute it's going to be spicy and wild, and then one minute it's going to make you cry."
The conversation also touched on some of the topics fans are buzzing about. Burruss opened up about daughter Riley Burruss stepping into the spotlight on Next Gen NYC, sharing that her biggest piece of advice was simple: be authentic and always stand by what you say.
Watch Whitney Ullman's full interview with Kandi Burruss to hear more about her divorce, Broadway success, Riley's reality TV debut, life after RHOA and what's next for one of entertainment's most accomplished women.
Reality television fans will also be interested to hear who Burruss still keeps in touch with from The Real Housewives of Atlanta. She revealed she remains close with Shamea Morton and still talks with Cynthia Bailey, Kenya Moore and Eva Marcille. As for former castmates Nene Leakes and Phaedra Parks, Burruss said there is currently no relationship between them, noting that they simply don't communicate.
Of course, no conversation with Kandi would be complete without discussing her incredible music career. While she admitted one of her most personal songs remains closest to her heart, she credited TLC's iconic hit "No Scrubs" as the song that continues to impact her life and career decades later.
Beyond reality television and music, Burruss reflected on her success on Broadway, where she has produced multiple acclaimed productions and performed on some of theater's biggest stages.
Fans attending I Do. I Did. I’m Done. can expect a night unlike anything they've seen before from Burruss—one that blends honesty, vulnerability, laughter and empowerment into a uniquely personal experience.
The first Philadelphia performance has already sold out, but limited tickets remain for the second show at City Winery Philadelphia on June 18. For tickets and additional information, visit CityWinery.com/Philadelphia.

#NewMusic from The Dream Feat Usher “Tampa”
Music industry titans The-Dream and Usher have officially joined forces once again, dropping their highly anticipated new collaborative single, “Tampa.” The track arrives as the latest taste of The-Dream’s forthcoming studio album, Love Hate II, which serves as a spiritual successor to his 2007 breakout debut.
“Tampa” captures the signature chemistry that has made previous collaborations between the two icons—such as the smash hit “My Boo” and various contributions to Usher’s Confessions era—so culturally significant.
Produced with the lush, layered vocal arrangements and infectious rhythmic bounce that define The-Dream’s production style, “Tampa” blends contemporary trap-soul sensibilities with the polished, classic R&B sound that brought both artists to global superstardom. Usher’s effortless tenor provides a perfect counterpoint to The-Dream’s evocative, melodic hooks, delivering a smooth, mid-tempo anthem that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
The release of “Tampa” marks a pivotal moment in the rollout of Love Hate II. Nearly two decades after Love Hate introduced the world to The-Dream’s unique “dream-pop” R&B aesthetic—and birthed timeless classics like “Shawty Is a 10” and “Falsetto”—the sequel project is being hailed as one of the most anticipated R&B releases of the year.
While Love Hate defined the late-2000s sonic landscape, Love Hate II aims to bridge the gap between that legendary era and The-Dream’s current status as one of the most influential songwriters and producers in modern music. The project is expected to feature a mix of high-profile collaborations and the experimental soul production that cemented The-Dream as the industry’s go-to architect for emotional, genre-bending anthems.

The pairing of The-Dream and Usher remains a gold standard for R&B synergy. With Usher coming off a massive series of career celebrations and The-Dream continuing to shape the sounds of contemporary heavyweights, “Tampa” arrives at a moment where their collective influence is at an all-time high.
The single is poised to make a significant impact on R&B radio and digital streaming charts, serving as a powerful catalyst for the Love Hate II campaign.

#HipHopNews: DMX Honored Forever As Yonkers Unveils “Earl DMX Simmons Way”
Yonkers officially renamed a stretch of School Street to Earl “DMX” Simmons Way with family members, Ruff Ryders founders and community leaders honoring the late Hip-Hop icon.
The city that helped shape one of Hip-Hop’s most powerful, loved put his name on the very street where he started to make a name for himself. It was an nearly chaotic scene at times, as part of the ceremony, right next to the Ross F. Calcagno Homes on School and Brook Streets.
Hundreds gathered in Yonkers June 12 as officials, family members, friends and longtime collaborators celebrated the unveiling of Earl DMX Simmons Way, permanently honoring the late rap icon in the neighborhood that bred him. DMX’s mother was even in attendance for the moment.
The street renaming ceremony transformed a section of School Street into a permanent tribute to the rapper, actor and street legend that impacted far beyond the city limits of his native land. Many stressed his humanitarian give backs and impact beyond the controversial headlines.
The most emotional moments came from DMX’s family and The Ruff Ryders.
Desiree Lindstrom, DMX’s fiancée and mother of his son Exodus Simmons, thanked city officials and supporters for ensuring Earl Simmons receives the recognition he deserves.
“His talent took him all over the world, but he never forgot where he came from,” Lindstrom said. “Today, his city is returning that love.”
DMX’s daughter, Sasha Simmons, who serves as co-administrator of his estate with Lindstrom, spoke about the responsibility of preserving her father’s legacy.
“His music gave people hope. His honesty made people feel seen,” she said. “Today isn’t just about celebrating a Hip-Hop legend. It’s about honoring a hometown hero who showed us that strength and vulnerability could coexist.”
The ceremony also featured remarks. – sometimes funny – from Ruff Ryders founders Waah Dean and Dee Dean, who helped guide DMX’s rise from Yonkers street battles to global superstardom. There were also numerous members of the crew present.
Waah described the renaming as far more than a ceremonial gesture, which are quite common nowadays.
“Today is more than a street naming,” he said. “Today is a celebration of a son of Yonkers whose voice, spirit and legacy continue to inspire people around the world.”
Dee Dean offered a glimpse into DMX’s relentless work ethic, sharing a profound story about the rapper recording multiple songs while suffering through the pain of a hernia.
“He was in the booth, falling to the floor from the pain,” Dee recalled. “But he got up and finished all seven songs because that’s how much he loved his music.”
The Ruff Ryders co-founder also reflected on his first encounter with DMX outside Building 80 on School Street, where the future superstar was already commanding attention through his lyrical abilities and larger-than-life presence.
According to Waah, DMX once told him he was “a prophet with a message to present to the world.”
Throughout the event, other speakers repeatedly emphasized that DMX was more than a multiplatinum artist. He never lost touch with his roots.
New York State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, also the first African American to hold the position, reflected on her personal experiences with DMX. She fondly and honestly recalled a man whose public image in the headlines hid a deeply caring and vulnerable spirit.
“I saw with him the love for community, for children just like him,” she said before the media. “He was always seeking. He was seeking a better life. He was seeking better answers. He was seeking a better reality.”
Stewart-Cousins also acknowledged the struggles DMX faced throughout his life, noting that his honesty about pain, addiction and redemption became part of his enduring appeal.
“We all struggle with the light and the dark and the good and the bad,” she said. “DMX, in his life and in his death, maximized his moment.”
Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins, a Yonkers native, highlighted DMX’s historic achievements, including becoming the first rapper to debut five consecutive albums at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
“Raised right here on School Street, DMX became one of the most successful and influential Hip-Hop artists of his generation while always remaining connected to the community,” Jenkins said.
He also recalled DMX’s triumphant return to the Westchester County Center in 2016 for what was described as the venue’s first major rap concert, calling the performance a homecoming for the hometown hero.
The legislation behind the street renaming was spearheaded by Yonkers City Councilwoman Tasha Diaz, who proudly described the designation as a symbol of hope for future generations.
“DMX put Yonkers and School Street on the map,” Diaz said. “He gave a community that was often overlooked hope that they could achieve any goal despite obstacles in their way.”
Diaz said she hopes the location becomes a place of inspiration for visitors and residents alike.
“Let this street renaming serve as a place to remember to never give up,” she said.
For many who knew him, that message ultimately became one of resilience, authenticity and faith.
The ceremony concluded with a powerful blessing from Bishop Alicia Collins, who revealed that DMX once shared plans for a ministry called “The House of the Afflicted.”
She described hearing unreleased Christian music from the rapper and spoke about the spiritual side of a man whose public persona often overshadowed his faith.
“He wasn’t loved because he was perfect,” Collins said. “He was loved because he was real.”
She added that DMX’s life demonstrated that “brokenness does not disqualify greatness” and that “faith can coexist in the middle of life’s fiercest battles.”
As the new street sign was unveiled, the crowd erupted in cheers, celebrating not just a rap legend but a hometown hero whose influence continues to resonate years after his passing.
Now, anyone passing through School Street will see a permanent reminder that one of Hip-Hop’s most unforgettable voices came from Yonkers, and that Earl Simmons’ story remains woven into the city’s history forever.

The NY Knicks are your 2026 NBA champions for first time in half a century
Cigar smoke filled the air of San Antonio's Frost Bank Center as thousands of patrons chanted "Let's go Knicks" -- a cathartic release of emotions some 53 years in the making.
During a postseason in which comeback victories had become their specialty, the New York Knicks completed one of the most dominant playoff runs in NBA history with a title-clinching 94-90 win over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Saturday night.
It wasn't a record 29-point comeback like New York pulled off in Game 4 but rather a methodical walking down of the Spurs, outlasting San Antonio as the Knicks had every playoff opponent. The Spurs led 83-73 with 8:21 left Saturday night. Then the Knicks went to work.
The Knicks outscored opponents by a combined 283 points this postseason, by far the largest point differential in NBA playoff history.
A team full of players who had been given up on and a coach who many believed couldn't put it together turned in one of the most gratifying victories in recent NBA memory.
As much as it felt inevitable -- the Spurs running out of offense and the Knicks riding Jalen Brunson -- it was another emotion-filled contest, and New York coach Mike Brown was frozen with emotion after the buzzer sounded.
"I couldn't believe it, that was the first thing," Brown said. "It was surreal. I couldn't believe that it was happening. And I am so tired. I mean, I'm gassed. And you know, just this stuff is harder than what you think. And you know, you have to have great assistants. You have to have great players, but I was gassed."
It was especially fitting for Brown, who was hired last summer after the Knicks attempted to interview so many other coaches in the wake of firing Tom Thibodeau. Brown stayed the course during the interview process, just as his team did during these Finals, rarely deviating from its reinforced competitive character.
"I've been around a long time. This business is just as crazy as any other business," Brown said. "I'm pretty good at trying to control what I can control. I had zero control over who else was interviewing, who was denied permission. I had zero control over that."
"I felt that I had great chemistry with [Knicks president] Leon Rose and [senior vice president] Quentin Dolan and [team owner] Mr. [James] Dolan, when I met with him," Brown continued. "But you never know. You try not to guess, because if you guess, it could drive you crazy because you don't really have the answer. I was pretty nonchalant about it as time went on. I just let it unfold the way it unfolded."
The Knicks didn't have a nonchalant approach the past two months, turning up their defensive intensity to another level and diversifying their offense to become an unstoppable unit.
Hours after the Knicks completed their comeback, when the halls of the arena emptied, they were back in their locker room -- with more cigars, dancing and champagne. After months of saying they focused only on the game in front of them, they were letting loose in the moment of winning the franchise's first NBA title since 1973.
Like Brown, Josh Hart often wondered about his place in the league. Being traded multiple times, it wasn't a guarantee he would get to this point. Compared with Brunson, a stoic figure, Hart wears his emotions a little more vulnerably.
On Saturday night, after diving on the floor for crucial possessions and hitting three 3-pointers to finish with 13 points, Hart was able to assess the cost of becoming a champion.
"The one thing, no matter what I've always said, I want to be a winner. I want to win a championship at the highest level," Hart said. "I've been doubted so many times -- traded, had so much instability, had, what, seven, eight different head coaches. I found a home in New York, and they embraced me for the person that I am, the player that I am.
"I'm not perfect by any means. I make a lot of mistakes. But I try to put my heart out there. I try to do whatever I can do to help the team win. I don't care about points. I don't care about those things. I'm willing to sacrifice whatever it takes for this city, for this jersey, for this franchise."
Hart took the opportunity to stump for the much-maligned Mikal Bridges, who also was Hart's college teammate at Villanova, saying, "Forget them picks," in reference to the hefty bounty the Knicks gave the crosstown Brooklyn Nets to acquire Bridges two summers ago.
Hart also credited Brown for steering the Knicks to a title, a mark of how far that relationship has come. One season after Hart led the NBA in minutes played, Brown wanted to bring him off the bench to get more shooting on the floor.
The change was part of the reason Hart looked fresh to finish the last series, even though he carried the usual bumps and bruises his style of play often creates.
"He's the reason why we're here, and we've got love for him," Hart said of Brown. "He understands what it is to be a champion. He understands how to build a team, how to build habits that will put you in this position. We're so grateful, so thankful to have him at the top. He kept us even so many times. He's brought the best out of us, as people first."

Tyra Banks Sues Netflix For Defamation Over Docuseries
Tyra Banks is taking Netflix to court. The 52-year-old TV personality filed a defamation lawsuit against the streaming service after her participation in the Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model (ANTM) docu-series received major backlash.
In a copy of the lawsuit, obtained by People, Banks claims that just 16 minutes of her three-hour interview were used in the docuseries and that the clips were “stripped of context and reassembled to support a false and defamatory narrative unrelated to what she actually expressed.” She also claims that the accountability she took for some of the controversial moments in ANTM were edited out.
“Tyra Banks participated in the Netflix documentary series America’s Next Top Model (‘ANTM’) because she believed viewers deserved a candid conversation about the show’s legacy—its successes and its shortcomings,” the lawsuit begins, per People. “There are aspects of the show for which Ms. Banks takes accountability and she wanted ANTM viewers to hear that from her directly.”
Banks alleges the producers created a “false narrative,” claiming she was not informed that contestant Shandi Sullivan, 44, who appeared in the docuseries, would later describe being sexually assaulted while filming America’s Next Top Model.
Banks says she was not given an opportunity to respond to accusations per the filing. It also states that during her Netflix interview, Banks acknowledged she remembered Sullivan’s account. “That narrative about Ms. Banks is a complete fabrication—one that Netflix streamed to a global audience of millions,” the lawsuit reads.
Tyra Banks is taking Netflix to court. The 52-year-old TV personality filed a defamation lawsuit against the streaming service after her participation in the Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model (ANTM) docu-series received major backlash.
In a copy of the lawsuit, obtained by People, Banks claims that just 16 minutes of her three-hour interview were used in the docuseries and that the clips were “stripped of context and reassembled to support a false and defamatory narrative unrelated to what she actually expressed.” She also claims that the accountability she took for some of the controversial moments in ANTM were edited out.
“Tyra Banks participated in the Netflix documentary series America’s Next Top Model (‘ANTM’) because she believed viewers deserved a candid conversation about the show’s legacy—its successes and its shortcomings,” the lawsuit begins, per People. “There are aspects of the show for which Ms. Banks takes accountability and she wanted ANTM viewers to hear that from her directly.”
Banks alleges the producers created a “false narrative,” claiming she was not informed that contestant Shandi Sullivan, 44, who appeared in the docuseries, would later describe being sexually assaulted while filming America’s Next Top Model.

Federal Judge Orders Trump Admin To Restore National Park Exhibits
On Friday (June 12), a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore exhibits related to topics such as climate change, slavery and Indigenous and LGBTQ+ history that were removed under an executive order to purge language at national parks that allegedly cast America “in a negative light.”
The ruling accused the Trump administration of engaging in censorship by taking down materials at parks across the country.
Per the NY Times, the judge, Angel Kelley of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, also ordered the Park Service to restore within three weeks any exhibits that it had dismantled or altered.
The ruling offers reprieve for the plaintiffs, a coalition of conservation and historical groups, who pushed back on the executive order in February. The lawsuit included the National Parks Conservation Assn., American Assn. for State and Local History, Assn. of National Park Rangers and Union of Concerned Scientists.
Judge Kelly argued that the administration’s actions amounted to presenting a selective version of history. “Under the guise of promoting American dignity, this Administration seeks to share a limited history by ordering the removal of all signs, displays, and interpretive exhibits at National Parks that do not align with its preferred narrative, thereby telling half-truths.”
The executive order by President Trump and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum forced park service staff to remove or censor exhibits that share factually accurate and relevant U.S. history and scientific knowledge, including about slavery and climate change.
The removals extended nationwide with officials flagging 80 items at Alabama’s Selma trail and exhibits on voting rights, Indigenous history and LGBTQ+ rights at multiple parks.
Park service officials were ordered to remove:
Explanatory panels from Independence National Historical Park, the site where George and Martha Washington lived with nine of their slaves in the 1790s.
The permanent exhibit at Brown v. Board of Education National Historical Park in Kansas because it mentions “equity”
A Pride flag was removed at the Stonewall National Monument in New York City
Signage at the Grand Canyon National Park that said settlers pushed Native American tribes “off their land” for the park to be established and “exploited” the landscape for mining and grazing.
A sign about climate change at Fort Sumter in South Carolina
The famous 1863 photograph of “The Scourged Back”
Katie Martin, a spokeswoman for the Interior Department, the parent agency of the Park Service, suggested that the administration would appeal the ruling.
“This ruling is from a liberal activist judge,” Ms. Martin said in an email. “The department will look at our appeal options while we celebrate U.F.C. Freedom 250 on the South Lawn of the White House this weekend in honor of our nation’s 250th with the greatest president in the history of our country — President Donald J. Trump.”

Influencer Ashlee Jenae’s Fiancé Joe McCann Claims She Tried To Open A Car Door At ‘High Speed’ Weeks Before Her Suicide
New claims are surfacing surrounding the tragic death of influencer Ashlee Jenae, whose fiancé, Joe McCann, says she showed alarming signs weeks before taking her own life.
According to TMZ, McCann claims Ashlee, whose real name was Ashly Robinson, “quickly spiraled” after a March conversation with her doctor, who allegedly told her there was a chance she may not be able to carry a child. McCann said Ashlee was “devastated” by the news.
He also claimed her behavior changed during a March snowboarding trip in Oregon, where she suffered a concussion after hitting her head on a rock while wearing a helmet. McCann said Ashlee became “completely unrecognizable,” experiencing panic attacks and public outbursts.
He alleged that during the trip, Ashlee tried to open a car door while they were driving at “high speed” and later walked into traffic. McCann said things calmed down after he reassured her he would not leave, adding that the next day “was like a switch flipped.”
However, he said similar behavior returned during their April trip to Zanzibar. McCann described Ashlee as “erratic,” “bizarre,” and “entirely consistent” with how she acted in Oregon. He also claimed she was chain-smoking and drinking wine early in the morning.
After an argument at the resort, McCann alleged Ashlee yelled, “I hope I choke and d*e in here tonight.” He said he moved to another villa and repeatedly tried contacting her, adding, “Her last communication to me was simply the word ‘Stop.’”
Ashlee was later found hanging in her villa and died at a hospital on April 9. Her death was officially ruled a suicide.

Kanye West’s Prague Concert Cancelled After Venue Ends Contract
The planned concert by Kanye West in Prague set for July 25 was cancelled after the venue owner terminated the agreement with the event organizer. The Chuchle Arena Prague director ended the contract without providing detailed reasons, citing communication difficulties and a lack of clear responses from the promoter.
The show was organized by Slovak producer Hugo Varga, who also played a role in arranging a Slovak rap festival last summer where Ye was scheduled to perform. That festival was cancelled following local protests and logistical challenges, with Kanye West withdrawing from the lineup amid mounting concerns. Varga attributed the festival’s failure to financial regulations and defended Ye’s right to perform despite his controversial past statements. Meanwhile, the venue owner expressed a similar sentiment, stating that Ye should be allowed to take the stage regardless of disagreements over his previous antisemitic remarks.
Ye has addressed his past antisemitic comments publicly, apologizing in May 2025 and attributing those statements to untreated bipolar disorder and trauma from a car accident. His recent European tour has been marred by numerous cancellations and postponements. Earlier this year, he was denied a visa for the UK’s Wireless Festival, resulting in the event’s cancellation. Shows planned for France, Poland, Italy, and other countries were also cancelled due to political pressure and public backlash. Notably, he managed to perform two concerts in the Netherlands in June despite protests and official scrutiny.
Kanye West is best known as the rapper behind the critically acclaimed debut album "The College Dropout" (2004). He has appeared in a number of films, including Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap and jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy, and has received multiple Grammy nominations in recent years for works like "Donda" and "Jesus Is King."
The cancellation of the Prague concert underscores the ongoing fallout from Ye’s controversial remarks and the challenges he faces in rebuilding his public image and touring schedule. Despite efforts to return to performing, persistent opposition and contractual difficulties continue to complicate his comeback attempts in Europe.

Atlanta Radio DJ Darian ‘Big Tigger’ Morgan and Cohost Francesca Amiker Deny Affair Rumors
Atlanta Radio DJs Darian "Big Tigger" Morgan and Francesca Amiker are setting the record straight on their relationship.
"Over the past several days, there has been significant public discussion and speculation regarding my personal life," Morgan, 53, shared in a statement via Instagram on Friday, June 12. "I understand this can happen when you are a public figure, and I appreciate the support and concern that so many people have shown. … It's important to clarify that Francesca and I have never been anything more than friends and respected colleagues."
Morgan offered an apology to his radio cohost "for the impact of these last few days."
Amiker, 36, also spoke up after an allegation surfaced that she was in a romantic relationship with Morgan — a claim she strongly denies.
"This week has been the most challenging moment of my personal and my professional life," she said via V103 Atlanta's The Big Tigger Morning Show on Friday. "Throughout my 16-year career, I've worked tirelessly to build a reputation that is rooted in professionalism, integrity and respect. … Those values remain unchanged for me."
Amiker added that she would never date someone already in a relationship, partly because she respects the bond of her parents who have been married for 42 years.
"Thank you to everyone who has shown me love and support during the most difficult time of my life🙏🏽," she added via Instagram.
Earlier this week, Morgan's wife, Alicia Brown, accused the DJ of being unfaithful in their marriage.
In an Instagram comment captured by The Shade Room, Brown alleged, "Yes we are getting a divorce over his relationship with Francesca."
TMZ also reported that Brown was involved in an alleged assault during a May incident that prompted police to open a domestic dispute investigation. Court records obtained by the outlet identify Morgan as the suspect. He has not been charged with a crime.
"I want to say categorically that these allegations and accusations that have been circulating are false," Morgan said via Instagram on Friday. "Out of respect for everyone involved, I ask for grace, privacy, and restraint as my family navigates this difficult moment. For more than 30 years, I've had the privilege of serving my community through music, entertainment and connection, and I remain grateful for the trust so many of you have placed in me throughout that journey. I intend to continue living and leading in a manner worthy of that trust."
Morgan has received support from many celebrities in Atlanta, including Cynthia Bailey, Kandi Burruss and Monyetta Shaw-Carter.
"We've known each other for over 25 years. You have never been anything less than a gentleman," Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks wrote in the comments. "Sorry you are going through this. Praying for all involved 🙏🏾 Peace. be. Still."

#NewCoupleAlert? Carmelo Anthony Appears to Confirm New Romance with Racquel Smith in Flirty Vacation Photos
Carmelo Anthony is seemingly in a new relationship. The former Knicks star was seen getting cozy with Racquel Smith, the widow of former NFL defensive end Will Smith
Anthony was previously married to La La Anthony, with whom he shares a son, Kiyan. Carmelo Anthony seemingly has a new partner off the court!
The former NBA star-turned-NBC broadcaster, 42, and Racquel Smith, the widow of former NFL defensive end Will Smith, appear together in Instagram photos and videos she posted from their time in Saint Tropez on Tuesday, June 9.
In the images, Smith and the former New York Knicks star forward look cozy, with his hand around her waist. The two, dressed in complementary black outfits, smiled widely for the picture.
"We are not here long enough to be living unhappy," Smith posted as a quote in the carousel.
Anthony was previously married to La La Anthony. The two were wed in 2010, but split for the first time in April 2017 before becoming on-and-off for several years. La La eventually filed for divorce in June 2021, citing irreconcilable differences.
The two share a son, Kiyan Anthony, 19, who just finished his first year playing basketball at his father's alma mater, Syracuse.
Racquel was married to former NFL player Will, who died in a road rage incident in New Orleans in 2016.
Racquel, who shares two children with her late husband, was also shot in the incident.
For Melo, the seemingly new relationship comes at another celebratory time, with his former team on the cusp of its first NBA championship in 53 years.
Earlier this week, the former Knicks star surprised a Knicks fan who bears his namesake with a custom Knicks jersey and two tickets to Game 4 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden.
