Lamelo Ball's Hidden Ace? [2023 Update]

Despite all the efforts to keep his personal life out of the spotlight, one detail has slipped out, and it is about LaMelo Ball’s love life. Yes, the youngest Ball is currently dating the social media influencer and businesswoman Analicia Chaves, better known as Ana Montana.

It all began when Montana posted an Instagram story that immediately caught people’s attention and swirled the buzz of the guy next to her in a car.

We will get to the detail of the story in the section below.

Talking a bit about LaMelo, the 2022 NBA All-Star selectee was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets as the third overall pick of the 2020 NBA Draft.

The Chino Hills High School alumnus suffered a non-contact injury to his right ankle in the Hornet’s win over the Pistons on February 27, 2023. Consequently, he has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2022-23 season.

Quick Facts

How Did It Begin?

It is unclear how or when Ana and Ball started dating, but every now and then, they drop some hints on social media pointing out to each other.

While the couple has not shared pictures with each other, their flirty exchanges on social media suggest they are indeed an item.

In January 2022, Ball updated an Instagram post that included a photo of Ana from behind, modeling a hoodie from his LaFrance clothing line.

LaFranco is LeMelo’s middle name.

Ana also took to her Instagram story to share a photo and video of herself in the grey logo sweatshirt and blue knee-high boots.

In the comments, she wrote, “LaFrance & u 4 the win,” with a pink heart emoji.

Even though they have yet to address their relationship status, sharing the picture from behind was a step up from their usual flirty exchanges.

However, Chavez has been criticized for their 13-years age difference.
