The girlfriend of Charlotte Hornets player LaMelo Ball, Ana Montana, shared on Wednesday pictures of her summer getaway to Italy. Montana made a late summer trip to the Amalfi Coast in the Mediterranean, and she shared her latest bikini outfits through a post on her Instagram feed.
In her newest post, Montana can be seen wearing a blue bikini while posing right beside a pool in the Amalfi Coast. She added the following caption to her post:
“Bikini season coming to a finish, your welcome 💙”

Ana Montana seems to have been on the Amalfi Coast since at least Aug. 24, when the first post of her in the area appears on her Instagram feed.
Montana and Ball started dating in late 2021, according to reports from the New York Post. She is a model and influencer with 3.2 million followers on her Instagram account. There’s been some criticism about the relationship due to a 12-year gap between Ball and the 36-year-old Montana.
NBA Analyst Weighs In on LaMelo Ball’s Future With the Charlotte Hornets
LaMelo Ball has shown himself to be a somewhat unreliable player due to injuries. That isn’t an indictment on his playing ability; it’s just a fact that has kept him from being the true star the Charlotte Hornets need.
While the Hornets have decided to stick with him for this upcoming season, this could start to become a problem sooner rather than later, says ESPN insider Tim MacMahon.
Speaking on the “Hoop” on Tuesday, MacMahon had this to say about the situation:
“The Hornets are a team searching for a direction. He has to be either on the floor, or in a trade for this team to find their direction.”
🎙️ @TimBontemps: “If we’re back here talking about the Charlotte Hornets next summer, and (LaMelo Ball)’s played 40-50 games again, then we’re just in the Zion Williamson territory with him going forward, and then you can’t do anything with your team…” 😕 pic.twitter.com/FqnbJNRzkm
