Fans question La La Anthony’s relationship with her teenage son, Kiyan Anthony, after he tattooed her face on his arm.

La La, 43, recently traveled to Japan with Kiyan, 17. She documented their travels on her Instagram page.

In one of the photos, Kiyan has a tattoo of his mom on his arm. In another photo, La La is seen hugging Kiyan from behind.

In another photo, Kiyan puts his arm around his mom while she’s wearing a sexually suggestive shirt.

The photos sparked debates and criticism online.

But one person defended La La and Kiyan, saying, “you can tell who ain’t have a healthy relationship wit they mom just by the comments.”

La La has had a difficult time finding love after divorcing Kiyan’s father Carmelo Anthony. She filed for divorce in July 2021 after she learned ‘Melo fathered a daughter out of wedlock.

La La previously said young men find her attractive.

She opened up about her personal life in an episode of the Spotify podcast “Call Her Daddy.” La La said she monitors her DMs for messages from men – only to find messages from 22-year-olds.

“Here’s how it goes. This is what I’m finding, I don’t understand this … I’m not saying when you get older you want to date younger guys. But when you get older, only younger guys want to date you,” she told the show’s host Alex Cooper.

“It’s the wildest thing. Guys will DM me and want to take me out and I’ll Google them, I’ll be like, ‘You’re 22 years old.’ Like, how?”

“People think I’m just out there, like, you can have any guy you want. But not really because the guys trying to talk to me are 21 to 22 years old,” she said.
