Get To Know Melo’s Baby Girl, Genesis
If you’ve been out of the loop, Carmelo welcomed Genesis with Mia Burks in 2017. In addition to his baby girl, fans know that he also shares a son, Kiyan Anthony, with his ex-wife La La Anthony. Kiyan has been following in his dad’s footsteps by hooping for Syracuse University. While Genesis made a rare appearance with Melo recently, some fans had already seen and heard of her. Back in 2023, Melo gave her and Kiyan a shoutout during his official retirement announcement. After reflecting on his 19-season career, he devoted part of his speech to Kiyan and Genesis, who were both in the audience.
“Raising children in this world is revolutionary. I didn’t just want to be a basketball player; I wanted to be a model of redemption, of accountability, of love. My kids saved me. They gave me a reason to move past ego, past noise, past criticism. They remind me that legacy isn’t what you leave behind, but what you lift up.”
Genesis has also shown love for her dad’s iconic legacy. On her 7th birthday, she threw a full-on New York Knicks-themed party, rocking Melo’s #7 jersey. The tribute didn’t stop there; her party was called the Genesis Square Garden, according to PEOPLE, and was complete with orange and blue snacks to really represent her dad’s former team’s colors.
