LaMelo Ball and his partner, model Analicia Chaves — better known as Ana Montana — revealed on Sunday to People that they had welcomed their first child together in January: a son named LaOne.
In coordination with the news of their new son, a rep for Ball and Chaves confirmed to People that the couple would be launching I Am Fertility, a nonprofit “dedicated to supporting women navigating fertility and IVF journeys.”
“I love you more than any word could ever describe!” Chaves wrote as part of the caption of a joint Instagram post launching I Am Fertility, addressing her new son. “You’re my purpose and you’ve helped me become the woman I was always destined to be!
Chaves’ post references that I Am Fertility will be sponsoring a $10,000 grant, which will award two women $5,000 each as financial assistance for IVF and fertility treatments.
“At one point during my IVF journey, I felt overwhelmed, emotional, isolated and unsure where to turn,” Chaves told People. “That experience inspired me to create I Am Fertility as a safe space where women don’t have to face this journey alone.”
Ball and Chaves have been linked together since 2021 and began dating in 2023.
