LaMelo Ball, Ana Montana Enter New Chapter

Ball and Montana, whose real name is Analicia Chaves, welcomed their son in January. The couple shared the news publicly through PEOPLE and described parenthood as a transformative experience.

“Welcoming LaOne into the world has changed our hearts in the best way,” the couple said. “Family has always meant everything to us, but becoming parents has given us an entirely new perspective on love, purpose, legacy and what truly matters most.”

The announcement also coincided with Montana launching I Am Fertility, a nonprofit platform designed to support women navigating IVF and fertility journeys. Montana explained that her own experience inspired the project.

“At one point during my IVF journey, I felt overwhelmed, emotional, isolated and unsure where to turn,” Montana said. “That experience inspired me to create I Am Fertility as a safe space where women don’t have to face this journey alone.”
