Anthony Edwards Ordered to Pay $14K Per Month in Child Support for Son He Says He’s Never Met
A court has ordered Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards to pay $14,000 per month in child support for a child he says he has never met.
Edwards, 25, testified under oath that he has never met the son that he shares with ex Alexandria Descroche, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
The amount was determined by Edwards’ monthly income, listed at almost $4.8 million, according to documents viewed by Us in May. The four-time NBA All-Star is in the midst of a five-year, $244.6 million contract that runs through the 2028-29 season.
It is also a massive increase from the $3,222 per month base obligation that he was originally ordered to pay Desroches for their son, Amir, 2, in 2023. That, however, did not include an additional $9,279 added for deviations from presumptive child support, bringing the total to $12,500 at the time. Desroches, who claimed an income of $1,016 per month, had filed paperwork asking for more, TMZ reported.
In addition, the court has ordered Edwards to take out a $2.6 million life insurance policy with Descroches listed as the beneficiary. He also must pay her $21,000 for attorney fees.
Though Edwards claims to have never met Amir, Descroches ‘ lawyer Al Hedayati told In Touch in April that he is welcome to.
“She is raising a child as a single mother and has an open-door policy for [Anthony] to see the child,” he said at the time.
Us previously reached out to Edwards’ spokesperson for comment but did not hear back.
The ruling comes just a month after a Georgia court ordered Edwards to pay an additional $3,222 per month to Ayesha Howard, mother of his 22-month-old daughter, Aubri. Edwards and Howard had been embroiled in a paternity suit that the Timberwolves star filed in 2024.
In that suit, Edwards requested a DNA test from “neutral and licensed laboratory,” according to documents obtained by Us. He did not seek custody or visitation rights and claimed “the only issues to be resolved [were] financial in nature.” Howard has sole legal and physical custody of Aubri.
This comes after Edwards accused Howard of using Aubri as a “revenue-generating asset,” using her to make money via social media content, according to documents obtained by Us in October 2025.
“Ayesha has explicitly transformed these proceedings into public entertainment,” Edwards’ lawyer claimed in the filing. “On September 28, 2025, she posted on social media declaring this case ‘very much open to the public to look into’…Every court filing becomes a post, every hearing becomes content, and every delay allows continued exploitation of this infant child who cannot consent to becoming a digital commodity.”
