PHOTO: Anthony Edwards and his firstborn dotingly stare at each other as girlfriend Jeanine Robel watches on

Anthony Edwards became a father for the first time early last month, welcoming baby A.J.E. with his girlfriend Jeanine Robel. Edwards exited a game to be with Robel and witness the birth of his firstborn.

In a recent Instagram story, Robel shared an image of herself carrying baby A.J.E., with Edwards playfully staring at their child. It was an adorable family picture, which might be the first public post of the trio together.

Edwards and Robel made their relationship public in January last year, but they have likely been dating since 2022. Robel has a son, Krue, with rapper Chief Keef, whom she previously dated.

Here's a photo of the Timberwolves star starting at baby A.J.E.:

Jeanine Robel shared this on her Instagram stories.

Anthony Edwards left game to witness birth of his child

Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves welcomed the Sacramento Kings at the Target Center on March 1. Edwards started and played the first two quarters, finishing with 11 points, two rebounds and two assists.

The Timberwolves ruled Edwards out for the second half, which baffled some fans, who were worried that he might have suffered an injury. However, the team explained that his absence was due to "personal reasons."

It was then mentioned during the broadcast that Edwards left the game at half-time because Jeanine Robel was about to give birth. He went straight to the hospital to become a father for the very first time. The Kings eventually won 124-120.

Can Anthony Edwards lead Timberwolves to playoff success?

Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves are back in the playoffs after the Phoenix Suns beat the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night. The Timberwolves had a chance to do it on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls, but they came up short 109-101.

Minnesota was atop the Western Conference for most of the season before slowing down after the All-Star break. Karl-Anthony Towns' injury played a factor, while Edwards has had some off nights.

The Timberwolves will be in the playoffs and are likely to have homecourt advantage. However, the West is too deep, so there won't be any easy matchups against teams like the New Orleans Pelicans, Dallas Mavericks, Sacramento Kings or Phoenix Suns.
