Ayesha Howard, ex-partner of rapper Lil Baby, announced the birth of her daughter on Instagram Tuesday night, delighting her followers with a series of heartfelt photos. Howard, who is also known by her social media name “Little Ms. Golden,” shared the joyful news, expressing her love for her newborn daughter, whom she referred to as her “doll baby.”
Alongside the carousel of images, she wrote the caption, “Golden girls ???,” and subtly revealed the baby’s birthdate, adding “10/14” at the end.
In the post, Howard also confirmed her pregnancy, proudly displaying her baby bump in a stunning sheer purple dress with a cutout across her midsection. She styled the look with high heels and a sparkling, bedazzled headband, embracing the glamorous maternity aesthetic. The photos also featured an ultrasound image of her daughter and a sweet snap of the newborn dressed in pink, though Howard used a purple heart emoji to cover the baby’s face, preserving a bit of privacy for her little one. She affectionately captioned the photo, “Momma doll baby,” showing her excitement over the new addition to her family.
Despite the birth announcement, Howard did not disclose the identity of the baby’s father, a detail that has garnered significant attention in recent months. Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards filed a petition in September seeking paternity and child support, sparking rumors about his potential involvement.

Edwards requested genetic testing to determine whether he is the biological father of Howard’s child. According to court documents, the NBA player is seeking legal confirmation and an order to establish paternity if the tests come back positive. A status conference regarding the case is scheduled for November 13.
Howard has not publicly commented on Edwards’ filing, and her Instagram post remained focused solely on the celebration of her daughter’s arrival. Meanwhile, the comments section of her post was filled with congratulatory messages from fans and friends. “Ayesha!!!!!!! U did that honey!!!! ??? Congrats bb!!! Welcome to #girlmomlife it’s theeeee best!!! ?,” one fan wrote.
Another added, “Congratulations beautiful ?? you look so glowing ?,” reflecting the outpouring of love and support from her followers.
While the paternity case unfolds, Howard seems to be enjoying her time as a new mother. In addition to her newborn daughter, she shares a son named Jason with rapper Lil Baby. Howard’s personal life has often been the subject of media attention, particularly regarding her relationship with Lil Baby and her involvement in social media and influencer circles.
As for Edwards, rumors have swirled that he welcomed three children this year, including a daughter with his current girlfriend, Shannon, who reportedly gave birth to their child in March.
However, the paternity case involving Howard adds a new layer of complexity to the NBA star’s personal life, with the legal process now set to determine the truth.
For now, Ayesha Howard is basking in the glow of her new role as a mother to a baby girl, sharing tender moments with her followers while keeping certain aspects of her personal life under wraps.
The upcoming court hearing could provide more answers, but until then, Howard appears focused on cherishing her time with her newest family member.
