Anthony Edwards is currently involved in a paternity drama with Ayesha Howard, an influencer. Court documents obtained by Us Weekly reveal that the Minnesota Timberwolves star has filed a motion in his paternity lawsuit against Howard, seeking DNA testing to determine if he is the father of her child.
Edwards has been in a relationship with Shannon Jackson since 2020, and the couple welcomed their first child together, daughter Aislynn, in March. However, rumors have emerged about Edwards having children with two other women.
In September 2023, reports surfaced that Edwards may have a daughter with beauty influencer Daja, while in July 2024, another woman named Ally D accused Edwards of being an absentee father to her son, Amir. Additionally, Howard, who is also the mother of a son with rapper Lil Baby, recently gave birth to a daughter and Edwards has filed a paternity suit against her.
In January 2025, reports indicated that Howard requested the court to dismiss Edwards’ lawsuit, arguing that neither of them have ties to Georgia, where the lawsuit was filed. Howard now resides in California, and Edwards is based in Minnesota. The case is currently under discussion as to where it should be heard.
The ongoing paternity drama involving Anthony Edwards, Ayesha Howard, and other women continues to unfold, with legal battles and allegations adding to the complexity of the situation.
