La La Anthony shows up to support ex Carmelo’s new NYC club 9 Jones
La La Anthony may have divorced Carmelo Anthony, but she still has his back, it seems.
The former Knicks star is part of a group of investors behind the new semi-private club, 9 Jones. And we wear his ex-wife lent her star power to the opening festivities.
On Wednesday, she attended a preview of the Greenwich Village spot, popping by “at around 8.45pm with a small group.”
“They opted to enter through the main entrance to take in some of the atmosphere before being escorted to its private room” an insider told Page Six.
Carmelo dropped into his new spot briefly as well, we’re told.
Meanwhile, La La’s brother, Christian Vasquez, and nightlife veteran Richard Wheeler, who are both partners in 9 Jones, joined her and her crew.
The former LA Lakers and New York Knicks basketball player partnered with some of New York’s nightlife pros from clubs like 1Oak and Greenhouse for the new venue. In addition to Wheeler and Vasquez, Yiannis Vasilas and Josh Angel are also partners.
Sources previously told Page SIx, “they’re all very involved. There will be parts that are private, but it will mainly be open to the public.”
The club’s membership is invite only and its private section includes its own entrance for elite clientele.
Our insider told us La La was overheard saying it “felt like home.”
The pair split in 2018 and reconciled, but La La filed for divorce in 2021.
The restaurant officially opens to the public on Nov. 9.
