Anthony Davis and his wife, Marlen Polanco Davis, embarked on a new chapter in their lives with the arrival of their first child, daughter Nala Davis, in November 2017. Since then, the couple has expanded their family with the addition of two more children, although they have chosen to keep details about their sons, including their names and birth dates, private. Despite maintaining a low profile when it comes to their family life, the Los Angeles Lakers star has shared insights into his experiences as a husband and father. Davis expressed his belief in the importance of family, describing it as the greatest luxury in life. He emphasized the enduring support and presence of family members through both challenging and joyful times, highlighting the invaluable role they play in his life.
Anthony added, “That’s why I’m big on family. No matter what I do or what I have, I know my family’s not going to change; they’re always going to be there for me. Even when we fuss and fight, I know I can always count on them.”
Here is everything to know about Anthony Davis’ daughter, Nala Davis.
Although the exact beginning of Anthony and Marlen’s relationship remains undisclosed, the couple has been together since at least 2017, when they celebrated the arrival of their daughter Nala in November. Several years later, in 2021, the family marked significant milestones, including Nala becoming a big sister with the birth of a baby boy. Although his name has not been revealed, Anthony confirmed in June 2021 that he and his wife were expecting a son.
While the precise date of birth has not been disclosed, it seems that he was born before their September 2021 wedding. In addition, the couple welcomed a second son in 2022, but like his older brother, his name remains undisclosed. Anthony shared this news during an interview with Spectrum News 1 in September 2022, expressing that the highlight of his summer was “adding another to the family.” He continued, “A girl and two boys now, so I got a team.
I’m outnumbered now, we’re outnumbered now. Amazing, blessed kids are a blessing, so I’m happy to have three of them.” While the boys are seldom seen in public photographs, they have made occasional appearances. In March 2023, Anthony was spotted spending time with his older son before a game between the Lakers and the Golden State Warriors at Crypto.com Arena. Furthermore, his younger son made his debut at the NBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis in February 2024, where Anthony was seen holding him during interviews.
Nala stole the show during her dad’s red carpet interview at the Space Jam premiere when she revealed a hidden talent.
As her dad shared his love of Looney Tunes during an interview with Extra!, Nala stepped in with a spot-on Bugs Bunny impersonation.
“Eh, what’s up, doc?” she said while holding a stuffed Bugs Bunny toy.
It turns out that the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.
“My parents always called me an actor,” Anthony said about his growing film career. “And I did do Barbershop before, but to be on this level? I never thought that I’d be in Space Jam.”
