More Details On Anthony Edwards Allegedly Refusing Custody & Visitation With His & Ayesha Howard’s Infant Daughter, Aubri Summers Howard
As The Shade Room previously reported, Ayesha Howard welcomed her daughter with Edwards in October 2024. To note, Howard also shares an older son with Lil Baby.
At the time, Edwards reportedly petitioned a Georgia court to determine whether he was the father of Howard’s infant. After he and Howard submitted DNA samples in December, his paternity was confirmed.
Then, in February, In Touch Weekly reported that Edwards asserted to the court that he was not “seeking child custody or visitation of Aubri.”
“Therefore, the only issues to be resolved are financial in nature,” he reportedly asserted at the time.
Earlier this week, the outlet published a separate report asserting that Howard and Edward’s case remains ongoing amid Howard allegedly filing her own paternity case in California.
