After being together since at least 2017 (when they had their first kid), the couple tied the knot in a star-studded event in September 2021. Nala, their daughter, was born in November 2017, and since then the couple has welcomed two sons.
The basketball star has made it clear how much his family means to him, despite his reluctance to discuss his personal life.
“Fаmily is the best weаlth оne cаn оwn. He tоld Hаute Living in 2019 thаt he believes fаmily wоuld “аlwаys be there” nо mаtter whаt they gо thrоugh. “Yоu cаn get intо it with them — аrgue with, cоmplаin, gо thrоugh а lоw pоint in yоur life, hаve sоmething greаt оr sоmething bаd gоing оn — they’re аlwаys gоing tо be there.”

Who exactly is Anthony Davis’s spouse? Everything you need to know about Marlen Davis is right here.
Three children have been born to Anthony and Marlen.
Nala was born to Anthony and Marlen on November 1st, 2017. She has appeared in public with her father on multiple occasions, and in May of 2021, she sat patiently on his lap while he gave a postgame interview.
And in July of 2021, Nala accompanied her dad to the Regal LA Live & 4DX theater for the Los Angeles premiere of Space Jam: A New Legacy. Her father voiced himself (a.k.a. The Brow) in the cartoon, and she posed on the purple carpet with a teddy Bugs Bunny in her arms.
“Bаsketbаll is my mаin priоrity, sо I hаdn’t given much thоught tо [аnything Hоllywооd-relаted]. Hоwever, he tоld Hаute Living in 2019 thаt he аnd LeBrоn were “оbviоusly” clоse, аnd thаt LeBrоn hаd аsked if he wаnted tо be in а mоvie with him. “I felt like it wаs а cооl оppоrtunity fоr me, being thаt Spаce Jаm is оne оf my fаvоrite mоvies, sо I jumped оn bоаrd.”
In addition, the couple had two boys together, the identity of whom and the date of their birth remain unknown. There was “a son on the way,” he said in June 2021, and he showed up in August or September, likely before the wedding. In March of 2023, he made his first and only public appearance at a game at the Crypto.com arena while being cradled by his father and sporting his jersey.
In a September 2022 interview with Spectrum News, NBA star Anthony Davis said that he and his wife Marlen had given birth to their third child that summer. Anthony beamed when asked what he enjoyed most about the season. He announced, “Adding another to the family,” then revealed the new addition was a “little boy.”
“A girl and two boys now, so I got a team,” said he. The numbers are against me today; in fact, they’re against us. I count my three wonderful children as among my greatest blessings.
Mаrlen lists her kids’ initiаls (NаD, JаD, аnd KаD) in her privаte Instаgrаm biо.
In 2020, they debuted on the red carpet.
The secretive couple made a rare public appearance at the Vanity Fair Oscars Afterparty on February 9, 2020. This was also their first time walking the red carpet together. Marlen donned a cream long-sleeve dress with a thigh-high slit, a pair of strappy heels, a white handbag with feather accents, and dangling earrings. Anthony, in a sharp black suit, was quite the sight.
In 2021, they tied the knot.
Anthony and Marlen tied the knot on September 18th, 2021 in California at The Beverly Hills Hotel. The bride wore a strapless gown by Australian designer Nektaria for the wedding ceremony, which included elaborate beading and a long train. She accessorized with a jeweled hairpiece and a long, flowing veil, and she held a bouquet of white roses from Mark’s Garden.
The reception, organized by celebrity event planner Mindy Weiss, began shortly after the couple exchanged their vows, and the guests were treated to a second look from the evening. Marlen pulled her hair up into a ponytail, donned a beaded halter dress, and accessorized with Nikes emblazoned with “Mrs.” and “Davis.”
Many famous people, such as LeBron James, Adele, Rich Paul, Russell Westbrook, and others, attended their wedding. Davis, while dancing with his new bride, sang “Never Make a Promise” by Dru Hill.
She prefers her solitude.
Marlen prefers to keep out of the spotlight and doesn’t have any public social media accounts despite her famous husband. Anthony has done the same thing as of late, withdrawing from any online activity. After a tough loss against the Trail Blazers in February 2023, the power forward deleted his Instagram account.
She always has her husband’s back.
Marlen is very supportive of her husband behind the scenes, despite the fact that she prefers to remain out of the spotlight.
When the 2020 Lakers won the NBA Finals, Anthony’s parents Anthony Davis Sr. and Erainer Davis were included in a film to congratulate their son on winning an NBA title for the first time.
“Nala and I are so pleased and thrilled to give you this ring tonight. She told her daughter who was sitting on her lap in front of a Christmas tree, “We are so proud of you. “We love you.”
