LaMelo’s Dating Life
Before we talk about LaMelo’s basketball achievements, let us first talk about his off-the-court activities. Specifically about his relationships and dating life.

But the lack of pictures of them together, or any other kind of proof of their relationship, pointed to the fact that Ashley was, indeed, not his girlfriend.
LaMelo is single as of October 2019 and has not been spotted with any other girl. He might not even have time for dating as he is focused on making it as the number one pick to the 2020 NBA Draft.
Family
LaMelo was born into a family of athletic prowess and stardom. He is the son of American businessman and popular media personality LaVar Ball. LaVar played basketball and football while in school. He was the person, who coached LaMelo during his early years.
On the other hand, LaMelo’s mother is Tina Ball, also known as Christina Catherine Slatinsky. She, too, is a former American basketball player, but she chose to stay away from the media limelight, unlike her husband and her sons.

Playing for the Illawarra Hawks of the Australian NBL, LaMelo made a name for himself by choosing to play overseas rather than stay in the US.
