In 2017, among speculation that Carmelo had been unfaithful, the couple decided to split. The following year, it seemed as though the two were reconciling, but by 2019, their union looked to be on the rocks again, a rep stating:

"As La La and Carmelo have been living apart for quite some time, La La is proceeding with legal discussions as the next step in their relationship."

The former couple officially said their "I do's" in 2010, with their divorce ending their marriage after a decade of being together as husband and wife. La La, who is 41 years old, was with Carmelo since the age of 19.

In the past, she implied that she was willing to work on the relationship due to its longevity. The author and businesswoman stated that it's nonsensical to give up on a union after such a long period has passed.
