Who is Ayesha Howard – and is Anthony Edwards her baby daddy? The 38-year-old, who shares a son with rapper Lil Baby, just had a baby girl of unknown paternity … but all signs point to the NBA star
Edwards recently had a daughter with his long-time girlfriend – and is rumoured to have fathered at least two other children; now, he’s filed a suit to establish paternity of Howard’s newborn daughter
Edwards has clearly taken to fatherhood in a big way. The 23-year-old is rumoured to have fathered three children in total, though paternity for all but one has yet to be confirmed. In March, he welcomed daughter Aislynn with his long-time girlfriend, Shannon Jackson, who already shares 10-year-old son Krue Karter with rapper Chief Keef.
Meanwhile, a woman identified on social media as “Ally D” has accused Edwards of being an absentee father to her young son, born a few months before Aislynn, per the Atlanta Black Star. The basketball player also reportedly had a daughter named Aris with a woman named Daja. As if that weren’t enough, last December, model Paige Jordae exposed Edwards for paying her US$100,000 to terminate a pregnancy, a move Edwards himself appeared to confirm.
While it is unclear whether Howard’s newborn child is Edwards’, she is making headlines nonetheless. So just who is Ayesha Howard?
What does she do?
Howard hails from Atlanta, Georgia, and is an influencer. She goes by the handle Little Ms. Golden on Instagram and has nearly 629,000 followers at the time of writing. She also claims to be a brand ambassador and a musical artist.
She’s co-parenting her son with Lil Baby
Howard shares her nine-year-old son Jason with rapper Lil Baby. In an April 2023 interview on Belinda Sanders’ YouTube show, Dear Future Husband, Howard revealed that co-parenting with Lil Baby is a “breeze”. She also shared that while she has love for the “Drip Too Hard” rapper, she is not in love with him and would rather be his “best friend”.
