⁠Anthony Edwards sued by Alexandria Descroches over paternity dispute amid Ayesha Howard drama

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is once again at the centre of another legal issue as his ex-partner, Alexandria Descrohes, filed a new paternity case besides his ongoing legal battle involving his other ex-girlfriend, Ayesha Howard.

Alexandria Descroches, whose real name is Ally D., filed a paternity and child support lawsuit in New York on March 13, 2025, alleging that Anthony Edwards is the biological father of her son, who was born in October 2023. According to court records from In Touch Weekly and Us Weekly, Descroches claimed that Edwards' NBA paycheck with the Minnesota Timberwolves is his main source of income.

According to In Touch, Edwards filed his own paternity action in Georgia on March 21, claiming that the jurisdiction should belong to Georgia and not New York.

The legal battle swiftly grew into a complicated jurisdictional conflict that went beyond paternity and financial support. According to Anthony Edwards, the kid was “conceived and born in Georgia” and “all interactions between [Anthony] and [Alexandria] took place in Georgia.” In her motion to have the Georgia lawsuit dismissed, Descroches, however, denied this.

His child's mother, Alexandria Descroches, claimed that the child was conceived not in Georgia but in Minnesota. In February 2024, she and her son moved to New York. where she has lived ever since. Before Edwards' filing, the child had been out of Georgia for six consecutive months.

Al Hedayati, her attorney, stressed that Georgia lacked jurisdiction under child custody rules since the mother and child had established domicile in New York for more than a year. Hedayati's statement:

“She is raising a child as a single mother and has an open-door policy for [Anthony] to see the child.”

Anthony Edwards has been connected to further paternity rumors, which are further complicating his matters. In September 2023, Daja, a beauty influencer, is said to have given birth to Aris, Edwards's alleged daughter, according to Page Six.

In March 2024, Shannon Jackson, Edwards' longtime girlfriend that he has been dating since 2020, gave birth to his daughter Aislynn. Despite the legal issues surrounding Edwards, he has not publicly addressed the claims regarding Daja and Amir, and his relationship with Jackson seems to be going strong.
