Breakdown of Anthony Edwards’ Three Pending Paternity Cases; Wants to Pay 18 Years of Child Support in One Payment

Anthony Edwards, a prominent NBA player for the Minnesota Timberwolves, has been at the center of several high-profile legal battles concerning child support and paternity, reflecting the complexities of his personal life amid his professional basketball career. This note provides a comprehensive overview of all current and past cases, drawing from recent reports and court documents to ensure accuracy as of April 1, 2025.

Case with Ayesha Howard

The ongoing legal dispute with Ayesha Howard, an influencer known on Instagram as “Little Ms. Golden,” centers on their daughter, Aubri Summers Howard, born in October 2024. Edwards filed a paternity lawsuit in Georgia, confirming paternity through a DNA test in December 2024, but has expressed no interest in custody or visitation rights. Howard, on the other hand, filed her case in California, leading to a jurisdictional battle. Edwards alleged Howard moved to California to secure higher child support, a claim she denied, presenting a driver’s license and birth certificate to support her move before Aubri’s birth (NBA Star Anthony Edwards Scores Major Victory). The court ruled in February 2025 that California lacks jurisdiction for child support, shifting it to Georgia, with a hearing scheduled for March 20, 2025, in California for custody and visitation (Anthony Edwards Faces a Tough Legal Fight). This case highlights the tension between state laws and financial implications, with Edwards’ lawyer arguing Howard’s actions were a “bad faith attempt” for financial gain.

Case with Alexandria Desroches

A more recent filing, dated March 21, 2025, involves Alexandria Desroches, also known as Ally D, where Edwards admitted paternity through genetic testing and sought to establish child support and legal fatherhood (NBA star Anthony Edwards files paternity lawsuit). The child was conceived and born in Georgia, but Desroches currently resides in New York, raising potential conflicts due to differing child support and paternity laws between states. Edwards noted all interactions with Desroches occurred in Georgia, adding another layer of legal complexity to this ongoing case.

Case with Daja Carlyle

The case with Daja Carlyle, involving their daughter Aris Ariel Carlyle, born in September 2023, was resolved through a confidential settlement on September 12, 2023 (NBA’s Anthony Edwards Accused Ex of ‘Sabotage’). Edwards filed a petition in February 2023 for legitimation, custody, parenting time, and child support, requesting joint legal and physical custody. Carlyle, in response, sought primary physical custody and child support, leading to tensions. Edwards accused Carlyle of “unsolicited harassing communication,” including threatening texts, which she denied, causing “unnecessary conflict and stress” (Anthony Edwards’ Kids: How Many Children). An initial child support agreement in April 2023 set payments at $5,000/month, but Edwards later argued in September 2023 for no increase, claiming Carlyle was voluntarily underemployed with an annual income of $8,000 from her business, MyPrettiBody. The settlement resolved these disputes, marking the end of this legal chapter.

Reports also mention Edwards having a child with Shannon with his girlfriend who is Lil Baby’s Baby Mama, reportedly born in March 2023, but no legal disputes are noted, suggesting an amicable arrangement (Anthony Edwards’ Kids: How Many Children). This contrasts with the publicized cases, which have drawn significant media attention, especially given Edwards’ high earnings, with over $44 million in NBA salary and a recent five-year, $244.62 million extension (NBA star Anthony Edwards ‘takes woman to court’). The cases reflect broader themes of celebrity legal battles, jurisdiction disputes, and the impact of public scrutiny on personal matters, with social media playing a role in amplifying narratives, such as Howard’s Instagram posts and Carlyle’s public statements.

In conclusion, Anthony Edwards’ legal entanglements in child support and paternity cases illustrate the challenges of balancing fame, family, and finances, with ongoing cases likely to evolve and past cases providing insight into resolution processes. As of April 1, 2025, these matters remain a significant aspect of his off-court narrative.
