Anthony Edwards faces paternity and child support lawsuits

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is facing mounting legal battles off the court, as two women have filed paternity and child support lawsuits against him in recent months. The NBA standout, just 2, is currently embroiled in disputes with Alexandria Desroches and influencer Ayesha Howard, both seeking legal and financial support for children allegedly fathered by Edwards

Desroches, known as “Ally D,” filed for custody and child support in New York, claiming Edwards is the father of her son born in October 202. She alleges Edwards has provided only “limited child support” and has never met his son in person. Edwards, however, responded by filing his own paternity suit in Georgia, arguing that all interactions with Desroches occurred there and seeking to move the case out of New York. Desroches counters that conception likely happened in Minnesota and that she now resides in New York with the child

Meanwhile, Edwards is also locked in a legal fight with Ayesha Howard, who was awarded temporary sole custody of their daughter, Aubri Summers, born in October 202. Edwards requested DNA testing and is seeking clarification on his child support obligations. Rumors that he offered to pay 18 years of child support upfront have been denied by Howard, who called the viral claims “lies” and “fake news”

With conflicting accounts and ongoing court hearings, Edwards’ personal life remains under intense scrutiny as he navigates these complex paternity and child support cases.
