NBA star Anthony Edwards ‘takes woman to court’ over paternity testing and child support

Anthony Edwards is reportedly taking a woman to court to determine if she is the mother of his child.

Edwards, a star for the Minnesota Timberwolves who is said to have fathered at least three children, wants the court to require genetic testing, according to Page Six, which obtained the documents filed in Georgia.

The woman’s name is Ayesha Howard, who also shares a child with rapper Lil Baby.

“If genetic testing shows that petitioner is the father, petitioner seeks an order establishing the paternity of the minor child,” the documents said.

Edwards’ petition also concerns child support.

The woman has been named as Ayesha Howard, an influencer with more than 600,000 Instagram followers

A meeting is reportedly scheduled for November 13 to resolve the matter.

As noted by Page Six, Howard – an influencer who goes by Instagram’s ‘Little Ms. Golden’ is mentioned – no posts about a recent pregnancy posted online.

People also previously reported that Edwards welcomed a baby girl with his girlfriend Shannon in March.

Shannon also reportedly shares a child with rapper Chief Keef.

Edwards, 23, has earned more than $44 million in salary during his NBA career and signed a five-year, $244.62 million extension with Minnesota last year.
