March 6, 2012 – La La Anthony graces the April 2012 cover of Latina, which hits newsstands on March 13.

April 2012 Cover Issue

On managing the time apart from ’Melo: “We’ve been together for eight years and I think we’ve lasted this long because we’ve given each other space…but there’s also that time where it can be too much space.”

On her ambitious nature: “I’m never satisfied— career-wise…I’m always looking for the next thing…Why can’t I be a great mom, wife, TV host, actress, producer, have my own reality show and makeup line? The hard part is balancing it all.”

On outrageous reality TV shows and keeping her marriage off camera: “Those shows are very entertaining. I’ve just never been a person to do crazy, outlandish stuff…Whenever you get outside people involved and cameras, you can look at statistics of other relationships— it gets really difficult.”

On rumors of ‘Melo’s supposed secret love child: Anthony says the idea is “laughable.” “There are a lot of athletes who do live a certain life with women everywhere. So you can’t act like it’s the craziest thing you’ve ever heard… But I’m secure in my relationship.”

On dealing with her insecurities: “I’m just like anybody else. Weight goes up and down, sometimes I’m killing myself to be on a crazy diet, sometimes I’m not. As you get more mature you learn to embrace insecurities and…to keep it all in perspective.”
