LaVar Ball Fuels Speculation: Is LaMelo’s Son Named ‘LaOne’?

LaVar Ball set off fresh speculation after comments made on a recent Ball in the Family podcast. The remarks prompted questions about whether LaMelo’s son could already exist or be on the way.

Podcasts remarks and the name drop

LaVar appeared with his sons on the episode. Hosts included Lonzo Ball, LiAngelo Ball, Anthony Salazar and Darren Moore.

Around the 42-minute mark, LaVar pointed to LiAngelo’s infant and acknowledged another child. He referenced a name listeners seized on: LaOne. The brief mention did not include further detail.

Training the next generation

LaVar also talked about raising future players. He described starting training as young as four years old. He added that backyard and gym sessions would be part of the plan.

Family context and current grandchildren

LaVar has five confirmed grandchildren in total. Only one of those grandchildren is a grandson, LaVelo Anthony Ball.

Lonzo has one daughter with his former partner Denise Garcia. LiAngelo is the father of three children, including LaVelo and a daughter named LaNiyah with Nikki Mudarris, plus a daughter with his ex-wife Rashida Nicole.

Speculation around LaMelo and Ana Montana

The podcast clip spread online and sparked reporting and social buzz. Filmogaz.com covered the reaction and the ensuing speculation about LaMelo.

LaMelo has dated Ana Montana since at least 2021. The couple went public as a pair in 2023. They maintain a private profile and share little about their relationship on social media.

Responses and unanswered questions

No member of the Ball family has provided clarification since the clip circulated. LaMelo has not publicly commented on his father’s remarks. His brothers also remained silent.

It is unclear whether LaVar revealed new information or voiced a wish for more grandsons. His use of the plural suggested he imagines training multiple young players.
