Anthony Edwards, a standout player for the Minnesota Timberwolves, finds himself under the public eye once more, courtesy of a recent ruling regarding child support obligations.
In a court decision, Edwards has been directed to provide $14,000 monthly in child support for his son Amir. As a father, Edwards has welcomed four children with four different women.
The basketball sensation is a father to three daughters and one son, all born remarkably close together. His firstborn, Aris, arrived in September 2023. She was soon followed by Amir in October of the same year, Aislynn in March 2024, and finally Aubri’ in October 2024.
Edwards’s children were born from relationships with four women: Daja Carlyle, Alexandria Desroches, Shannon Jackson, and Ayesha Howard.
Here’s a closer look at the children of Anthony Edwards, the prominent NBA star.
Aris Ariel Carlyle
Aris Ariel Carlyle was born in September 2023 to Edwards and Daja Carlyle.
Edwards has kept his relationship with Aris out of the public eye, so not much is known about the 2-year-old.
Much of the information surrounding the father and daughter has instead emerged through court proceedings. Edwards filed a paternity case involving Aris and sought to establish custody and child support.
He and Carlyle later reached a confidential agreement, keeping the details of their parenting arrangement private.
Amir
Edwards’ only son, Amir, was born in October 2023 to Alexandria Desroches.
Like Aris, Amir has largely remained out of the spotlight. Edwards recently revealed that he has never met the 2-year-old in person.
The admission came during a child support case with Desroches. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Edwards testified under oath that he has not met Amir and is not seeking parenting time with him.
In August 2026, a judge ordered Edwards to pay $14,000 per month in child support for his son.
Aislynn
Edwards welcomed daughter Aislynn with Shannon Jackson on March 1, 2024.
Her birth came on a game night for Edwards. He played the first half of the Timberwolves’ matchup against the Sacramento Kings before leaving at halftime to be there for Aislynn’s arrival.
Aislynn has since become the child fans have seen the most of. Edwards has shared photos of his little girl and affectionately calls her “Aisy Paisy,” while Jackson calls her “Ladybug.”
The nickname inspired Aislynn’s first birthday celebration, which featured a ladybug theme.
Jackson has also shared glimpses of her daughter’s personality and the impact she has had on their family. In a message celebrating Aislynn, she said becoming her mom taught her patience and described her daughter as bringing “peace” into their lives.
Aislynn has attended some of her dad’s games and traveled to Paris with her parents during the 2024 Olympics.
After scoring 43 points against the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2025 NBA playoffs, Edwards spoke about having his daughter there to watch him play.
Edwards and Jackson tied the knot in July 2026 after several years together.
Aubri’ Summers
Edwards’ youngest child, Aubri’ Summers, was born in October 2024 to Ayesha Howard.
Howard introduced her daughter on social media following her birth, sharing photos from her pregnancy and glimpses of Aubri’ with her followers.
Edwards filed a paternity petition shortly before Aubri’ was born and requested DNA testing to determine whether he was her father. His paternity was later established.
Since then, Edwards and Howard have been involved in a legal battle over child support.
Last month, a Georgia judge ordered Edwards to pay $3,222 per month in support for his daughter. Court records showed that he had already paid $110,000 before the final amount was determined.
Howard has sole physical and legal custody of Aubri’.
