Lil Baby’s ex Ayesha Howard confirms birth of baby girl after NBA star Anthony Edwards files for paternity
Lil Baby’s Ayesha Howard announced the birth of her daughter via Instagram on Tuesday night.
Howard took to social media to gush over her “doll baby” with a carousel of photos captioned, “Golden girls ✨💜👑 .”
She also seemingly revealed the newborn’s birthday, adding “10/14” at the end of the caption.
In the birth announcement, the new mom confirmed her pregnancy as she showed off her baby bump in a sheer purple dress with cutout in the midsection.
Howard — who is an influencer and uses the name “Little Ms. Golden” on Instagram – styled the maternity ensemble with heels and a bedazzled headband.
She also shared an ultrasound image of her daughter and another snap of the little one dressed in a pink outfit with a purple heart emoji covering her face. “Momma doll baby,” she wrote.
However, Howard did not confirm the identity of the baby’s father, even though Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards petitioned her for paternity and child support in September.
Soon after the birth announcement, many of Howard’s followers took to the comments to react.
“Ayesha!!!!!!! U did that honey!!!! 😍😍😍 congrats bb!!! Welcome to #girlmomlife it’s theeeee best!!! 😘,” one fan wrote.
Another person gushed, “Congratulations beautiful 😍😍 you look so glowing ✨.”
Earlier this month, Page Six has exclusively learned that Edwards, 23, filed to take Howard to court to determine whether or not he fathered her child.
“If genetic testing shows that the petitioner is the father, the petitioner requests an order establishing the minor child’s paternity,” read the documents obtained by Page Six, which were filed in Georgia in September.
There is also a status conference for this case scheduled for Nov. 13.
Page Six reached out to Howard for comment on the filing at the time but did not immediately hear back.
In addition to her newborn daughter, she shares a young son named Jason with rapper Lil Baby.
Edwards, meanwhile, is rumored to have welcomed three children this year, including a daughter with his girlfriend, Shannon. According to People, Shannon gave birth to their baby girl in March.
