NBA Star Never Met Son, Pays $14K Child Support

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards is now obligated to pay $14,000 monthly in child support to his ex-partner, Alexandria Descroches, for a child he asserts he has never encountered. This figure, determined by the court based on Edwards' estimated monthly income of nearly $4.8 million, represents a substantial increase from the initial $3,200 baseline. Descroches reportedly earns approximately $1,016 per month and is pursuing higher education to enhance her financial stability.

The court recognized Edwards' considerable financial resources, noting his monthly expenditures on entertainment, vacations, and food. Beyond the child support mandate, Edwards must secure a life insurance policy valued at approximately $2.6 million, naming Descroches as the primary beneficiary. He is also responsible for Descroches' legal costs, which exceed $21,000.

Edwards and Descroches share a son named Amir, born in 2023. Court documents reveal that Edwards admitted under oath he has not met his son and does not intend to seek parenting time. Previously, Edwards was ordered to pay $3,000 to another former partner, Ayesha Howard, for their daughter.
