Dolphins star Xavien Howard issues statement over being sued for assault and battery by mother of his children
Xavien Howard is facing legal troubles again, now with his former fiancee and the mother of his three children. She served him with a lawsuit just before the Miami Dolphins faced the Buffalo Bills earlier this week. Since the suit is sealed for privacy reasons, further details are unavailable to the general public.
However, Xavien Howard has responded to this lawsuit through his legal team at Brad Sohn Law. They released a statement on his behalf, as follows:

They said the allegations were baseless and that they have already been investigated twice and, according to their recollections, no wrongdoing has been found. It is just the latest controversy surrounding the Miami Dolphins player.
Xavien Howard faces fresh allegations of allegedly impregnating four women
Xavien Howard is under trouble. This time, an OnlyFans model named Tai, took to Instagram to expose and call out the Miami Dolphins CB for allegedly impregnating four women at the same time.
On Saturday, Tai wrote a long caption under her Instagram post to reveal her pregnancy with Xavien Howard.
He told me he wanted to have a baby with me and regardless of what he said I still took a plan B. It clearly failed because I was around ovulation. Whatever, I own up to my actions and I accept the fact I’m having a baby.
She shared screenshots with the Dolphins CB in the post, accusing him of wanting to abort the child and threatened to take legal action if the harassment continued. She said:
He wants to pay me off to terminate my pregnancy and from the looks of the screenshot he sent me with his other baby mother he wants her to terminate too.
And if I continue to be harassed by him or anyone involved with him I will be taking legal action to protect myself and my unborn baby.
Neither Xavien Howard nor his reps have commented on this allegation. Any further information will be updated.
Xavien Howard and his history of alleged concerning behavior
Xavien Howard is a star cornerback for the Miami Dolphins. He has made it to three Pro Bowls in his career so far. But off the field, his record has not been as spotless as one would like it to be.
In addition to the above lawsuit, he was sued by a woman in October 2022 for “negligent transmission of genital herpes and intentional infliction of emotional distress.” The court identified the woman as Jane Doe.
The issue at hand with the latest lawsuit stems from his problems with his fiancee in 2019 and 2020. In one instance, apparently in 2020, which is expected to be part of the suit, Xavien Howard had purchased a purse without telling his girlfriend. He did so because it was allegedly for another woman. This led to a physical altercation, where the Miami Dolphins concluded that his girlfriend had hit him first.
The issue in 2019 stemmed from an allegation that he had pushed his victim and been physically violent with her. He was arrested but she declined to cooperate at the time. She signed a non-prosecution affidavit and told prosecutors she didn’t fear for her safety.
NFL UPDATE: #Dolphins CB Xavien Howard had all of the charges against him dropped by his girlfriend. They both previously had an altercation back in December 🐬
Despite these past accusations and current allegations, the Miami Dolphins have stuck by Xavien Howard. In 2021, he also requested a trade for him despite the team standing by him through the allegations that had come to light by then. They have kept him because he is one of the best defensive players in the league.
It is unknown whether the two current pending lawsuits might change the franchise's outlook on him. The lawsuits themselves might drag on until 2024. Hence, irrespective of his statement, he needs to settle his legal perils at the earliest.
