Anthony Edwards Takes Ayesha Howard to Court Over Paternity Claims – Is He the Father of Her Child with Lil Baby?

Minnesota Timberwolves NBA All-Star Anthony Edwards has moved for legal proceedings in a paternity case over a child that he or influencer Ayesha Howard might have fathered.

The new reports stated that Edwards filed for a petition on paternity and child support, which will put the case to DNA testing so that there could be a clear revelation over the matter.

Case of Child Support with Anthony Edwards

According to Page Six, court documents reveal that Edwards has filed a petition to decide whether or not he is the father of Howard's child. Edwards's petition "seeks an order requiring both respondent and petitioner to submit to compulsory genetic testing, as well as testing of the child."

The case is set to have a status conference on Nov 13. To date, Howard has not responded to the filing.

Known on Instagram as "Little Ms. Golden," Howard currently boasts over half a million followers on her social media profile. However, she hasn't been active since May 21, leaving fans wondering when she will return to update her fans.

Public Image and Relationships with Lil Baby

Ayesha's two-year-old son Jason belongs to rapper Lil Baby, to whom she is already engaged. She regularly published pictures and news of the son on her Instagram account. Yet, that does not seem to have anything to do with rumors about her getting another child or pregnancy lately. Instead, her silence on social media for the last couple of months started in May, which seems even more buzzworthy.

Edwards, however, is relatively silent concerning his personal life, especially about children. Even though rumors abound that the NBA star has sired multiple children in a relatively short time, details are sketchy and mostly unheard.

Anthony Edwards' Alleged Children and Relationship with Shannon

There was an earlier report this year from People that Edwards recently had a baby girl with his girlfriend Shannon on March 2; he even left the Timberwolves game at halftime to arrive for the birth. Shannon doesn't go by a released last name but has another older child with rapper Chief Keef, adding further complication to Edwards' personal life.

That's not the end of the controversy as the Atlanta Black Star reported comments made by a woman named "Ally D" on social media who claimed that Edwards had fathered yet another child with her, one month before his daughter was born to Shannon. Ally D claimed that the NBA player "had a little girl before our son, literally a month before."

"I've been nun but a great mom and a cool mf I let y'all talk what yall wanna say for MONTHS I'm such a peaceful mf I even prayed for the other children cause end of the day them my sons siblings," she wrote in a now-deleted post.

Adding to the complication, Ally D also claimed that Edwards was father to another child this year with another woman. However, it is not certain whether the same child is involved in the case of paternity with Howard.
