Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis is not only dedicated to his basketball career but also to being a devoted father. During All-Star weekend, Davis was seen conducting interviews with his youngest son comfortably sitting on his lap. Despite the toddler’s playful tugging on his jersey, Davis remained unfazed and continued with his interviews.
Davis and his wife, Marlen Polanco Davis, are parents to three children. While the names and ages of their two sons are kept private, they also have a daughter named Nala, who is six years old. The couple welcomed their third child, a baby boy, in the summer of 2022, as confirmed by Anthony in a September 2022 interview with Spectrum News.
In an Instagram bio, Marlen lists the initials of their children: “NаD ️ JAD ️ KAD.” This signifies the special place each child holds in their family.
Davis has also involved his children in his public appearances. Nala accompanied him to the Los Angeles premiere of “Space Jam: A New Legacy” in July 2021. They posed together on the purple carpet, with Nala holding a stuffed Bugs Bunny. Davis voiced his animated character, “The Brow,” in the film and expressed his excitement for the opportunity to be part of a movie he had always loved.
While Davis is focused on his basketball career, he appreciates the blessings of fatherhood and cherishes his growing family. With three children now, he humorously acknowledges that he is outnumbered but feels grateful to have such amazing kids in his life.
