When it comes to Lakers star Anthony Davis, we may think we know everything there is to know. But there’s something we fans don’t know much about—and that’s Anthony Davis’ wife, Marlen P. In fact, the ‘P’ alone is an indicator of how private her life is, down to her surname.
Where did she grow up? What is her career? How did she meet Anthony Davis?
Inquiring minds want to know about the powerhouse woman behind the powerhouse basketball player. Keep reading for all the intel we could manage to find.
Who Is Marlen P?
Marlen P wasn’t always a household name, but dating a famous basketball player will do that to you. Here’s what we know.
Some say the twenty-nine-year-old was born in the US and has a Dominican background, while others claim she was born in the DR and moved to the United States. Since she once mentioned her Dominican ancestry on her private Instagram bio, we tend to believe the latter.
Born in ’93, Anthony Davis’ wife is notoriously private and has kept certain information—i.e., her place of birth or the month of her birth—under wraps. We’re not even sure where her parents are from or where she grew up.
We do know that she was enrolled in a private American high school, but sources have yet to discover in what state she attended. We also know it’s likely she practices Christianity, as the same private Instagram bio we mentioned earlier also had a quote from the Bible.
She keeps the names of her parents a secret, so there’s not much to go off of when hunting for insight. We must say, we admire her boundaries!
What Is Marlen P’s Career?
As a curvy, 5’5″ woman with beautiful features, it’s no wonder that Marlen P makes a successful model.
Additionally, she’s quite the media sensation, undoubtedly contributing to her reported $30 million net worth.
Where has she modeled? Would we have seen her in any campaigns?
Unfortunately, even that part of her life has remained a mystery, so if you’ve noticed her face in ads, you’re a lucky (and rare) one.
When Did Marlen P Become Anthony Davis’ Wife?
Are you tired of hearing about what we don’t know?
Well, we’ve finally reached the part of Marlen P’s life that’s been illuminated for the public. Needless to say, it’s difficult to marry a celebrity like Anthony Davis and keep it a secret!
We know that Anthony Davis briefly dated basketball player Dylan Gonzalez, but their relationship fizzled out in 2013. Davis has also been linked to Brittney Griner, with reports stating they broke up in 2015 after unconfirmed rumors of an engagement. This information leads us to believe that Davis and Marlen P started dating sometime after 2015, with some sources saying 2016-2017.
Still, it took a while before the couple shared their love with the world. Their first public appearance was at the 2020 Oscars party hosted by Vanity Fair.
Marlen P officially became Anthony Davis’ wife in September of 2019 after a long and committed relationship. Their wedding was one for the tabloids with famous guests including the likes of LeBron James and Adele.
The two exchanged “I do’s” in front of a wall of red roses—a beautiful backdrop for the happy, smiling couple. Photographs and videos from that day highlight a cheerful courtship. One video even shows Davis singing to Marlen P, opting for the romantic ballad Never Make a Promise by Dru Hill.
Do Marlen P and Anthony Davis Have Children?
The (former? current?) couple has one child together, daughter Nala Davis.
Many sources suggest that Nala was born in early 2018, meaning Davis and Marlen P had her before they tied the knot. If that’s correct—and pictures of Davis holding a baby girl after the 2020 NBA finals suggest it is—Nala would be about four years old today.
What else do we know about Nala? The truth is, not much. Just like her mom, Nala’s life (and rightfully so) is kept exclusive.
What you can find online are pictures of Marlen P and Anthony Davis at their baby shower, with Marlen P holding a white “Princess Nala” frame over her face, as well as sporadic images of Anthony and his daughter.
Are Anthony Davis And His Wife Still Together?
You might have noticed two questions in the section above—former? Current?
The reason behind our speculation is that their relationship hasn’t always been smooth sailing.
In 2020, rumors floated around that Davis had cheated on Marlen P. An anonymous Instagram model claims that Davis offered to fly her to LA for four days to hang out with him, also offering cash or luxury items such as Chanel purses. The model reportedly refused, then sent Marlen P screenshots of the conversation in a direct message on Instagram.
After the conversation, Marlen P allegedly blocked the anonymous model. Shortly after, fans noted that Anthony Davis unfollowed a slew of girls from Instagram—models, dancers, and more. Many speculated that Marlen P made him do this.
According to our timeline, this attempted infidelity would have occurred after Nala’s birth and after their subsequent wedding. Unfortunately for curious fans, there’s not much information on whether the two remained together.
Anthony Davis’ Wife & More
If this article has highlighted anything, it’s that Anthony Davis’ wife Marlen P values her privacy.
Anthony Davis respects that decision, too, not offering much on his social accounts either. A quick look at his Instagram reveals a lot of basketball photos and not much else. A Marlen P biography is a short and sweet one.
