Anthony Edwards’ girlfriend, Shannon Jackson, was front and center with their daughter at a recent Minnesota Timberwolves game.
Jackson shared a series of snaps via Instagram on Sunday, October 27, highlighting her attendance at the Timberwolves’ home game where they faced off against the Toronto Raptors. She captioned the post, “👩🏽+🐞.”
The social media personality posed courtside showing off her leather vest and black jeans. She also rocked a diamond necklace that read, “Ant,” which appeared to be a nod to Edwards, 23.
In addition to her solo shots at the game, Jackson also shared a sweet selfie of her and Edwards’ daughter, Aislynn. The 7-month-old toddler wore a black long sleeve shirt under a houndstooth dress and had a pink bow in her hair. She completed the look with matching pink noise-canceling headphones.
Roy Rochlin/Getty Images for Fanatics Anthony Edwards is raising eyebrows with his recent paternity drama with influencer Ayesha Howard. According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, the Minnesota Timberwolves star, 23, filed a new motion on October 15 in his paternity lawsuit against Howard. The initial lawsuit was filed in September. In the docs, […]
Since Jackson and Edwards started dating in 2020, the influencer has been a frequent supporter at his games. However, this recent outing comes days after Us Weekly confirmed that the basketball player filed a new motion in his paternity lawsuit against Ayesha Howard.
According to the docs, Edwards requested a DNA test to determine whether he is the biological father of Howard’s newborn daughter. In a lawsuit from September, Howard initially claimed that Edwards fathered her then-unborn child. Howard, who is also mother of son Jason, 9, with rapper Lil Baby, gave birth to her daughter earlier this month.
Neither Edwards nor Howard have confirmed the baby’s paternity. However, Edwards wants a test completed by a “neutral and licensed laboratory” to determine if he is the father.
The NBA star also requested an order establishing the child’s paternity if the genetic test came back as a match to detail plans for child support. (In addition to Aislynn, Edwards is reportedly the father of two children with two other mothers, though he has not publicly acknowledged the children as his own.)
Edwards has not addressed the scandal. Us has reached out for comment.
Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is raising eyebrows with his paternity drama — but the NBA has seen this film before. Edwards — who has been dating Shannon Jackson since 2020 and shares a daughter with her — filed a paternity lawsuit against influencer Ayesha Howard in September 2023. One day after Howard welcomed her […]
Days after the news broke, Jackson seemingly addressed Edwards’ drama online.
“You say I’m one of God’s strongest soldiers. Put me on the front line,” she said in a recent Instagram Live video, screen-recorded by account The Neighborhood Talk. “If I gotta un-baby daddy him then I gotta un-baby daddy the first one. Damn!”
Jackson, who also shares son Krue with ex Keith “Chief Keef” Cozart, appeared unbothered by the scandal.
“Gotta make sure my man doesn’t pull up before y’all,” she said. “He see me on Live because he’s gonna be like [criticizing me], ‘Why you on Live telling them people your business?’ This fake outrage you are having, pull your panties out of your bunch.”
