Anthony Edwards made a clear decision to show that he wants nothing to do with his former girlfriend and their child together.
Edwards initially made headlines after news broke that the NBA player requested a DNA test after Ayesha Howard gave birth to her daughter.
The Minnesota Timberwolves star is now agreeing to give Ayesha Howard full custody of their 5-month-old daughter, Aubri’, amid their contentious paternity battle.
This comes weeks after revealing he doesn’t even want visitation with the kid, per In Touch.
Ayesha stated in her filing the child had been in her sole custody, care, and control since birth. Anthony Edwards doesn’t appear to be fighting that with his latest movements.
