NBA star Anthony Edwards is taking Ayesha Howard, who shares a child with Lil Baby, to court to confirm whether or not he fathered a child with her, Page Six has exclusively learned.
Court documents obtained by Page Six Thursday show the Minnesota Timberwolves player, 23, filed a petition for paternity and child support.
He is looking for the court to demand genetic testing for him, Howard and the minor child in question.
“If genetic testing shows that the petitioner is the father, the petitioner requests an order establishing the minor child’s paternity,” the documents filed in Georgia in September state.
A status conference has been scheduled for this case on Nov. 13.
Page Six has reached out to Howard for comment on the filing but did not immediately hear back.
The influencer, who goes by “Little Ms. Golden” on Instagram and boasts more than half a million followers, has not posted about a recent pregnancy or welcoming a child.
However, she has been mysteriously absent from her profile in recent months. Her last post was shared on May 21 and featured her posing in a neon green outfit that showcased her toned body.
Howard already shares a young son, named Jason, with Lil Baby, and she frequently features him in her posts online.
Edwards, for his part, is much more private about his children, but he is rumored to have welcomed at least three kids in a short period of time recently.
According to People, the Olympian basketball player welcomed a baby girl with his girlfriend, Shannon, on March 2. He reportedly left a Timberwolves game during half-time to be there for the delivery.
Shannon, whose last name the outlet did not disclose, also shares an older son with rapper Chief Keef.
Then, the Atlanta Black Star reported in July that a woman who went by “Ally D” on social media claimed Edwards “had a little girl before our son, literally a month before.”
“I’ve been nun but a great mom and a cool mf I let y’all talk what yall wanna say for MONTHS I’m such a peaceful mf I even prayed for the other children cause end of the day them my sons siblings,” she wrote in a since-expired Instagram Story.
“Ally D” then alleged, “I’ve been harassed and talked about so mf poorly over a person who I legit don’t even speak about nor care to.”
She also claimed that the pro baller, who is one of the stars of Netflix’s sports series “Starting 5,” welcomed a third child this year with a third woman.
“Our son 8 months… Kids were not born the same time just a few months apart. One little girl in September then our son October then he just had one,” “Ally D” reportedly wrote via Instagram.
It’s unclear whether the third child she was speaking about is the child in question in Edwards and Howard’s paternity suit.
Page Six has reached out to Edwards’ lawyer for comment but did not immediately hear back.
