Sun Apr 27 20:50:00 UTC 2025: ## NBA Star Anthony Edwards Locked in Paternity Battle Across Two States
**New York, NY –** Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is embroiled in a contentious paternity dispute with his ex-girlfriend, Alexandria Descroches, spanning two states. Descroches, 26, filed a paternity petition in New York on March 13th, claiming Edwards is the father of her son, born in October 2023. The petition cites Edwards’ NBA income as the basis for child support.
Just days later, on March 21st, Edwards filed his own paternity and support case in Georgia, claiming the child was conceived and born there and that Descroches only recently moved to New York. He alleges all interactions with Descroches occurred in Georgia.
However, Descroches has filed a motion to dismiss Edwards’ Georgia case, arguing that her son has resided in New York since February 2024, and thus the case should be heard in New York. Her legal team asserts that Georgia lacks jurisdiction because the child hasn’t lived there for six consecutive months. They further dispute Edwards’ claim of conception in Georgia, suggesting it may have occurred in Minnesota.
The legal battle adds another layer of complexity to Edwards’ personal life. He is already involved in a separate child support case with another ex-girlfriend, Ayesha Howard.
Descroches, who maintains she is raising her son as a single mother and is not seeking to financially depend on Edwards, has stated that despite her efforts, Edwards has not met their child. Her attorney emphasized that she welcomes Edwards’ involvement in the child’s life. The legal dispute continues, with the determination of jurisdiction likely to play a key role in determining the outcome.
