Edwards is now requesting a hearing in a Georgia court to “establish [his] child support obligations.”
Edwards and Howard have been making headlines over their relationship due to their 15-year age gap, a lump sum of a child support payment and an alleged text message exchange about their daughter.
Howard, who also shares her son Jason with rapper Lil Baby, allegedly wrote in a text message per In Touch Weekly informing the NBA star that she is expecting, “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.”
