The couple is also looking for a new house, which should include a court, sauna and gym. Although, Anthony Davis' plans to buy a house could be put on hold until he tests out free-agency in 2020. Some NBA reports say that Davis is likely to sign with the Lakers again. This has also caused people to speculate and wonder if Davis is ready to propose to Marlen. Marlen has a private Instagram account and stays away from the media. The couple apparently started dating in 2016 and welcomed their daughter Nala into the world in November 2017. According to some reports, they are also renting a $14 million house in Bel-Air. The house is closer to the Lakers' home Staples Center and has six bedrooms, a pool, a personal gym and a basketball court.
