NBA star Anthony Edwards is in a nasty court battle with ex Ayesha Howard over their daughter, Aubri Summer Howard, who was born in October 2024. The pair, who allegedly met in 2022, is legally fighting over child support for their infant, leading fans to wonder who Ayesha is and inquire about the details of her relationship with Anthony.

What Is Anthony Edwards’ Ex Ayesha Howard’s Job?

Ayesha is a brand ambassador and musical artist, according to her Instagram bio.

However, in December 2024 court documents obtained by In Touch, Anthony claimed that Ayesha worked as a dancer at Magic City Strip Club in Atlanta until January 2024.

Where Does Anthony Edwards’ Ex Ayesha Howard Live?

Ayesha was a Georgia resident before allegedly moving to Los Angeles.

Ayesha Howard Shares Daughter Aubri With Anthony Edwards

Ayesha welcomed Aubri on October 14, 2024. One month prior to giving birth, Anthony filed a paternity and child support lawsuit against her in Georgia.

“[Anthony] is entitled to an order requiring the parties to undergo genetic testing. If genetic testing shows that [Anthony] is the father, [Anthony] requests an order establishing the minor child’s paternity,” the petition read.

One day after Aubri was born, the Minnesota Timberwolves guard filed a motion in the case, requesting a judge to order Ayesha to a paternity test via a neutral and licensed laboratory.

On October 22, 2024, Ayesha sued Anthony for paternity in California, according to court documents obtained by In Touch. In the filing, Ayesha requested legal and physical custody over Aubri, as well as child support, pregnancy and birth expenses – as well as her attorney fees.

Anthony responded to Ayesha’s lawsuit on December 31, 2024, requesting that the case be dismissed and shared that the DNA results proved he was the father of Aubri.

“Simply stated, the court lacks personal jurisdiction over Anthony and therefore cannot properly consider this case,” Anthony’s legal team stated in the documents previously obtained by In Touch.

“Aubri was born in California on October 14, 2024. There is no evidence that Aubri has been present in California since her birth on more than a temporary basis. This is likely because Ayesha has no intention of making California her and Aubri’s home,” Anthony’s lawyer argued in the filing, later adding that Ayesha “allegedly rents a room in a backhouse located in Inglewood, California.”

“Despite this claim, Ayesha has never been seen at the residence,” Anthony’s lawyer claimed. “Significant surveillance has also occurred at the property at which Ayesha claims to live, but not once has she or the child ever been seen there.”

However, Ayesha previously claimed to have moved to California in August 2023 and accused Anthony of believing “child support determination under Georgia law would be more favorable to him than one governed by California law.”

On February 11, 2025, In Touch exclusively reported that Ayesha filed a declaration of alleged texts between her and the professional athlete, who urged her to “get da [sic] abortion” while she was pregnant with Aubri.

“I’m pregnant … wanted to tell you in person but you gave me no other choice. We probably should have kept it cordial but we’re here now,” Ayesha wrote in the alleged text, claiming that Anthony blocked her on all social media platforms and text.

Anthony allegedly replied, “OK lol. Get da abortion lol.”

The Georgia and California cases are still ongoing as of February 12, 2025.
