In a recent family outing, Shannon Jackson, the girlfriend of NBA player Anthony Edwards, took her daughter and her son to a pumpkin patch—just days after it was revealed that Edwards had filed for paternity regarding a child with another woman. The couple’s 7-month-old daughter, Aislynn, was all smiles as Jackson shared snapshots of their adventure on Instagram, indicating that the little one was “having a blast” at the festive location.
Jackson, who welcomed Aislynn with the Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard in March, also posted a delightful picture of her son, Krue, from a previous relationship with rapper Chief Keef. The family outing raised questions, however, as it remains uncertain whether Edwards, who is 23, joined them for this particular excursion.
The pumpkin patch visit comes on the heels of exclusive reports revealing that Edwards filed for paternity and child support in connection with a potential fourth child. According to court documents obtained by Page Six, the star athlete submitted a petition in September regarding a child with Ayesha Howard, the former partner of another rapper. The filing includes a request for genetic testing to confirm paternity, alongside a future status conference set for November 13.
Interestingly, Howard has not been active on social media since the news broke, leaving fans wondering about her silence amidst these developments. The Instagram model also has a 9-year-old son named Jason, shared with rapper Lil Baby.
Adding further complexity to the situation, Edwards is also rumored to be the father of two other children—1-year-old Aris with a woman named Daja and another 1-year-old son, Amir, with a woman identified as Ally D. Though Edwards has yet to publicly address those allegations, he did express how enriching fatherhood has been for him since the birth of Aislynn, noting the profound joy he feels in his role as a dad.
As the chaos of these developments unfolds, Shannon Jackson continues to focus on family moments, celebrating simple joys on social media while navigating this evolving narrative. Whether Edwards will embrace newfound responsibilities or take a step back remains to be seen, but for now, the world watches closely as this story unfolds.
