Anthony Davis is a dedicated father. Amidst his busy schedule as a Los Angeles Lakers star, aged 30, he was seen conducting interviews during All-Star weekend with one of his younger sons seated comfortably on his lap. The toddler curiously looked around, occasionally tugging at his father’s jersey as he spoke.
Undeterred by the interruption, the father of three continued with his interview. Anthony Davis and his wife Marlen Polanco Davis also have another son, whose name and age remain undisclosed. They also have a daughter named Nala, aged 6.
In the summer of 2022, Anthony and Marlen celebrated the arrival of their third child, as confirmed by the NBA star in a Spectrum News interview in September 2022. When asked about his favorite part of the summer, Anthony responded with a smile, expressing joy about expanding their family. “Adding another to the family,” he confirmed, revealing that it was a “little boy.” “A girl and two boys now, so I got a team,” he remarked. “I’m outnumbered now, we’re outnumbered now. Amazing, blessed kids are a blessing, so I’m happy to have three of them.”
In Marlen’s private Instagram bio, she lists the initials of her children: “NAD ❤️ JAD ❤️ KAD.”
Nala was also her father’s date to the Los Angeles premiere of Space Jam: A New Legacy at the Regal LA Live & 4DX theater in July 2021. She held a stuffed Bugs Bunny and posed on the purple carpet with her dad, who voiced himself (a.k.a. The Brow) in the animated film.
“I hadn’t really thought about [doing anything Hollywood-related]; basketball is my focus. Obviously [though], me and LeBron are very close, and he asked if I wanted to be in a movie with him,” he told Haute Living in 2019. “I felt like it was a cool opportunity for me, being that Space Jam is one of my favorite movies, so I jumped on board.”
