Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is reported to be fathering a baby with social media influencer Ayesha Howard. Many are wondering how Edwards’ girlfriend Shannon Jackson a.k.a. Jeanine Robel on Instagram (before she deleted the account) feels about the news.
Howard used to be in a relationship with rapper Lil Baby, with whom she has a nine-year-old son named Jason. Howard was notably quiet on social media amid the baby news.
A social media influencer herself, Robel broke her silence on Wednesday via Instagram Live (presumably before she deleted her account), discussing the situation with her followers. She at one point admitted that she’s known about the baby situation for a while, while most people are only just learning about the news.
When one commenter brought up the show “Basketball Wives” in her Instagram Live’s comment section, Robel made it clear that she is Edwards’ girlfriend and not anyone’s wife.
“I’ll say this, Y’all just finding out. … You were saying that I was hurting on the inside or whatever the case, and I’m just. You gotta pick a side. … I’m not a wife.”

In September, Lil Baby’s ex Ayesha Howard filed a paternity suit that named Anthony Edwards as the father of her baby. In response, Edwards and his legal team are looking to have the baby undergo a paternity check to confirm his fatherhood.
Edwards has a daughter with his current girlfriend Shannon Jackson/Jeanine Robel, and, according to Us Weekly, also has children with two other women. Robel, meanwhile, also shares a child with Chicago rapper Chief Keef, a son named Krue.

Despite sharing the same “baby mama,” it does not seem like there is any animosity between Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards and rapper Lil Baby.
As the shooting guard was entering through the tunnel for a game, he crossed paths with the rapper, and the two shook it up. The meeting that was caught on video made it clear that despite the awkward situation they’re involved in, there’s nothing but love between the two.
