Howard alleges that Edwards, 24, “intentionally concealed” California-based financial assets when she previously pursued child support payments from the Minnesota Timberwolves guard in 2024, per an affidavit filed in Superior Court of Los Angeles County on Tuesday, April 7, and obtained by PEOPLE.

Page Six was first to report the news. Howard — who shares a 5-month-old daughter, Aubri' Summers, with the athlete — is seeking a renewal of her original child support order, for which she first petitioned in 2024. She alleges in the newly filed affidavit that Edwards has multiple assets, including a business and bank account, in California, and knowingly hid their existence in court.

Edwards, she claims in the affidavit, “intentionally omitted and concealed long-standing financial California-based assets and financial activities at the onset of these California proceedings in an effort to evade personal jurisdiction and child support obligations. ” Ayesha Howard Credit: Ayesha Howard/Instagram According to the affidavit, Howard discovered evidence of Edwards’ previously hidden California assets in August 2025, including a business LLC, business trademarks, a Beverly Hills bank account and more. She included some of the evidence, such as bank statements, in the new filing.

The basketball player’s newly uncovered California assets were “not discoverable at the time of the original motion to quash because [he] deliberately concealed and misrepresented his California connections under oath,” Howard claims in the affidavit. “Both I and the Court relied upon his sworn statements asserting no substantial business presence in California. ” Edwards even “asserted under sworn testimony that he had no personal jurisdictional ties or substantial business connections to the State of California,” the document states.
