Anthony Edwards' Kids: How Many Children He Has Amid Paternity Drama | In Touch Weekly

Published 1 week ago4 minute read

NBA star made headlines in early 2025 for his legal battles with ex over paternity and child support relating to their daughter, Aubri Summers Howard, who was born in 2024. However, Aubri is just one of the Minnesota Timberwolves players’ kids.

Anthony is confirmed to have three children with three different women, and he is reportedly the father of a fourth child with a fourth woman.

Anthony first became a father when a woman named gave birth to their daughter, Aris Ariel Carlyle, in September 2023, Daja confirmed at the time when she shared a photo of the newborn with the NBA player.

“Your Daddy was right there waiting to meet his 1st Born,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories at the time, according to Page Six.

In February 2024, Anthony filed a petition of legitimation, custody, parenting time and child support against Daja, to whom he was never married, according to court documents obtained by In Touch.

Despite stating that he was Aris’ biological father, Anthony said he did not believe he was listed as her dad on her birth certificate. He asked the court to award joint legal and physical custody of Aris and requested that the court determine child support.

In her own filling in March 2024, Daja confirmed that Anthony was Aris’ father and asked the court to determine child support. However, she opposed his request for joint legal and physical custody, asking the court to give her primary custody with reasonable parenting time for Anthony.

In a September 2024 filing, Anthony noted that he was paying $5,000 a month in temporary child support to Daja and argued that he should pay $3,222 a month in child support.

Daja and Anthony reached an agreement around the same time, but the details of the settlement were not disclosed.

In July 2024, the Atlanta Black Star reported that a woman named had given birth to a son named Amir in October 2023 and that the father was believed to be Anthony. According to the outlet, Ally took to her Instagram Stories with screenshots of alleged texts between herself and Anthony, as well as a redacted DNA test showing that he was the father.

“Only BUMS don’t claim there [sic] children lying about kids etc is sick in the head a WRONG,” Ally allegedly wrote.

In another slide, Ally added, “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,” as seen in a screenshot shared by the publication.

Anthony has not publicly addressed Ally’s claims.

Anthony has been dating girlfriend since 2020. She announced in December 2023 that she was pregnant with their first child, and the couple later welcomed daughter Aislynn in March 2024.

Anthony talked about being a father in Netflix’s Starting 5 docuseries, which premiered in October 2024.

“I can’t speak on fatherhood as a whole but, as of right now, it’s just the best feeling … in the world for sure,” he said. “That’s my little girl. I’ve got to pick her up and walk around with her and hold her and talk to her.”

Anthony’s fourth child, Aubri, was born in October 2024. Ahead of the little girl’s arrival, the basketball star filed a paternity lawsuit in September 2024 and later filed another motion the day after her birth, according to court documents obtained by In Touch. In the petition, Anthony asked for DNA testing to determine if he was the child’s father. He asked to be legally declared the father if the test came back positive and requested the court to determine child support based on Georgia state guidelines, as that is where he claimed Ayesha resided.

Ayesha later filed paperwork in California, claiming that she moved there before giving birth to Aubri. Anthony alleged that she only filed paperwork in the state in an attempt to gain more child support.

Anthony, who also stated in a petition that he did not want custody or visitation with their daughter, scored a win in the child support case at a February 2025 hearing. A judge ruled that California did not have jurisdiction when it came to child support, meaning the case would likely go to a judge presiding over Anthony’s case in Georgia, In Touch exclusively reported.

However, a hearing was set for March 20, 2025, to determine if custody and visitation would be set by the California court.
