Anthony Edwards demands genetic test from Lil Baby's ex-girlfriend Ayesha Howard, files petition for paternity, child support: Report
Minnesota Timberwolves superstar Anthony Edwards has reportedly filed a petition for paternity and child support. According to Page Six, the 23-year-old is taking Ayesha Howard, who gave birth to a child with rapper Lil Baby, to court to confirm whether Edwards is the biological father. Edwards is reportedly pushing for genetic testing for him, Howard, and the minor in focus.
Per Page Six, the court documents were filed in Georgia in September with the status conference scheduled for Nov. 13. The documents, per the news site, state:
“If genetic testing shows that the petitioner is the father, the petitioner requests an order establishing the minor child’s paternity."
Howard, who goes by Little Ms Golden on social media, is an influencer with over 600,000 followers on Instagram. Page Six noted that she was last active on May 21.
She shares a young son, Jason, with Lil Baby and often features him in her social media content.
Edwards, meanwhile, shares a baby daughter with girlfriend Jeanine Robel.
Neither Edwards nor Howard have publicly commented about the matter so far.
Anthony Edwards on being a father: “I come home, and I’m a whole ‘nother person”
Anthony Edwards gave the world a sneak peek into his private life in Netflix’s ‘Starting 5’. He welcomed a child, Aislynn, with Robel, who also goes by Shannon Jackson. She told the crew that Edwards was a different personality at home, and the T-Wolves star echoed the sentiment.
“I can’t speak on fatherhood as a whole, but right now it’s just the best feeling right now in the world, for sure. Parenting and basketball, I mean, I got a life over here. I got a life over here. So yeah, it’s pretty simple. I go here, and I’m one person. And I come home, and I’m a whole 'nother person.”
According to Atlanta Black Star, Edwards also fathered a child with a woman who went by the name “Ally D” on social media. The report added that she claimed Edwards “had a little girl before our son, literally a month before.” She further alleged that he had fathered another child with a third woman.
