Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is at the center of a social media storm after a woman, who claims to be his baby mama, took to Instagram with allegations that he has fathered a hidden child.
Edwards, who is also a star player for Team USA, has yet to comment on these claims publicly.
Woman claims Edwards fathered a baby boy
The woman, known as Ally D on Instagram, shared a series of posts and screenshots suggesting a connection with Edwards.
In one screenshot, she addresses the person she is texting as "Ant," while another post shows video footage of Edwards wearing earrings, implying the person she is texting is indeed the NBA player.
In a revealing exchange, Ally D shared a text conversation with a contact saved simply as "A."
At the bottom of this exchange, she wrote:
"Dis was in november when I been knew he had a little girl before our son literally a MONTH before but seee how i always kept it P literally said congrats on the one on da way. So thats 3 kidss now."
Further elaborating on her situation, Ally D posted:
"I've been nun but a great mom and a cool mf I let yall talk what yall wana say for MONTHS im such a peaceful mf i even prayed for the other children cause end of the mf day them my sons siblings and ion do the ghetto but yall wana c ghetto coool."
Among the series of posts, Ally D included what appears to be a paternity test, though the results were covered.
She challenged her followers to guess who the father was.
She also provided a timeline, claiming that Edwards got her and another woman pregnant only months apart.
According to her, their son is eight months old, with another child born in September and yet another child recently born.
"Our son 8 months.... Kids were not born the same time just a few months apart. One little girl in September. Then our son October then he just had one," she wrote.
In one particular screenshot, she showed a text allegedly from Edwards stating, "He can go play with them other kids!!" about their son.
She responded by telling him to spend time with the other children's mothers instead of her, captioning the screenshot with:
"Lmfaoooooo cause FOREAL play with all dem kids you gotttttt!!"
Edwards welcomed a daughter in March
While Anthony Edwards has remained silent on the issue, he is currently focused on preparing to play for Team USA in the upcoming Olympic Games.
With lawyers reportedly involved, it remains to be seen whether Edwards will address the allegations publicly.
The Timberwolves star has officially recognized one child, daughter Aislynn, whom he welcomed with his girlfriend, Shannon, in March 2024.
The couple, who went public with their relationship in November 2020, celebrated the arrival of Aislynn shortly after Edwards left halftime during a game against the Sacramento Kings to be with Shannon.
Allen Stiles, a broadcaster for the Kings, confirmed the news at the time, tweeting, "Anthony Edwards is out with his baby on the way, per the Kings broadcast. This now turns into a game the Kings should have the mindset to sneak a win."
The Timberwolves also updated their social media, writing, "Anthony Edwards (personal reasons) is OUT for the remainder of tonight's Wolves-Kings game."
