Minnesota superstar Anthony Edwards has just made a move off the court that has everyone’s attention. The 23-year-old shooting guard has been amidst a messy legal battle with his ex, Ayesha Howard. Why? Recently, Edwards submitted a request for paternity and child support relief for his four-month-old daughter, Aubri Summers Howard. Ayesha claimed to have moved to California before giving birth to their child. Meanwhile, Edwards argued she only filed there to get higher child support. Despite filing and presenting a California driver’s license and birth certificate, she lost the motion. In a new revelation in the matter, the Wolves star has made an astonishing move.
After the case had moved to Georgia, Anthony Edwards had made it clear that he wasn’t seeking custody or visitation with Aubri. “[Ayesha] and I have one minor child together, Aubri Summer Howard. Paternity was recently established through DNA testing. I am not seeking child custody or visitation of Aubri. Therefore, the only issues to be resolved are financial in nature.” Anthony wrote in a declaration. His words make it clear that the case was just to get the dispute settled financially. Well, he has got his wish granted, and the court has asked Anthony to pay a hefty amount of $1,080,000 in child support to Ayesha Howard.
Here’s where things get interesting. Athletes and celebrities paying child support is no new news. However, the way Anthony has approached this situation is unheard of. The Timberwolves star according to sources, has paid the entire 7-figure amount of $1,080,000 all at once! Yes, Anthony Edwards has allegedly paid the amount that comes out to around $5,000 a month together covering the next 18 years of payment. If there’s anything this move suggests is that Edwards wants to be out of the picture from Ayesha and Aubri’s life. Well, it remains to be seen how this move turns out for Edwards; for now, it seems the matter is settled. However, this isn’t the first time he’s been involved in a child’s dispute

While this is big news for the fans, this isn’t the first time Edwards’ off-court life has raised eyebrows. The 23-year-old hooper has been involved in a couple of other rumors as well. Last year, a woman who goes by the name of Ally D accused the Timberwolves star of being an absent father to her son, Amir. However, Edwards has never addressed these allegations, and there has been no update on this matter since. Meanwhile, amid this legal drama going on in ANT’s life, his current partner and long-time girlfriend, Jeanine Robel, seems to be enjoying her time away from this legal drama with the couple’s lovely daughter, Aislynn.
Jeanine Robel seeks peace with daughter Aislynn amid Anthony Edwards’s legal settlement
Jeanine Robel is making the most of the springtime with their daughter Aislynn. On Tuesday, Anthony Edwards’ long-time girlfriend, Jeanine Robel, along with the couple’s daughter, was on a fun day out. Robel shared a bunch of pictures on her story through her Instagram account. In the pictures, the mother and daughter duo can be seen having a delicious snapper lunch, followed by some peaceful time on the beach, admiring the beauty of the ocean. To top it all off, they enjoyed a beautiful tropical sunset together.
Edwards’ girlfriend was feeling rather cheerful as she even added a bit of music to her pictures. Robel showcased her epic taste in music by selecting Jhene Aiko’s song ‘calm & patient‘ as one of her pictures with her daughter enjoying herself alongside the beach. The lyrics of the song also share an inspiring and wholesome message. “I’m satisfied with life. I do not just get by; I thrive. What a miracle to be up and alive. Sending love to those who are stuck in the fight. I cannot relate to the hate.” It might be an indication of where Jeanine sees herself in life at the moment.
Nonetheless, it was great to see the mom and daughter enjoy some quality time together. Jeanine and Anthony share a wonderful relationship and have been together since 2020. Moreover, the couple not only has a beautiful daughter, Aislynn, but Robel also has a son, Krue, from her previous relationship, who shares a great bond with Edwards. Robel regularly posts updates of her life with the Minnesota star and her two children through pictures and videos. Along with this, she is also occasionally present at Edwards’ NBA games cheering for him from the stands.
