Sources: 41. Developments: 5. In late July 2026, a Georgia judge ordered NBA guard Anthony Edwards to pay $3,222 per month in child support for his one‑year‑old daughter Aubri Summer with former partner Ayesha Howard, ending a year‑long jurisdiction dispute. Edwards had been making monthly payments and a $20,000 lump‑sum since January 2025. The ruling followed a dispute where Howard sought to file in California while Edwards preferred Georgia. Court documents noted Edwards’ income at over $200 million. Two days later, marriage records from Hennepin County confirmed that Edwards legally wed longtime partner Shannon Jackson, with whom he shares a two‑year‑old daughter, Aislynn. The wedding, which took place on July 16, 2026, was kept private with no public photos released. Following the ruling, Ayesha Howard used Instagram to criticize media coverage and highlight broader concerns regarding absent fathers in Black communities. She reiterated the court‑ordered support amount and claimed Edwards had not signed birth certificates or met his other children. On August 21, 2026, a separate ruling ordered Edwards to pay $14,000 per month in child support for his son, Amir, born in 2023. This amount significantly exceeded the baseline calculation, influenced by Edwards’ reported monthly income of nearly $4.8 million. During proceedings, Edwards testified that he has never met his son in person and is not seeking parenting time. The judge also ordered Edwards to secure a $2.6 million life insurance policy for the mother, Alexandria Desroches, and to cover legal fees exceeding $21,000. ## Claims - A judge ordered Anthony Edwards to pay $14,000 per month in child support for his son, Amir.
