*Former NBA star Dwight Howard and his ex-wife reached a child support settlement after he requested a payment decrease..
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, the monthly payments are being lowered from $12k down to $3k. In his petition over child support, Howard noted, “there has been a significant change” in his income. Per Radar, his salary for the 2021-22 season was $2 million. The outlet writes, “In 2015, when Howard signed the initial deal for $12k per month, he was pulling in over $20 million per season in the NBA.”
Howard filed court documents last year requesting a decrease in his child support. He and Tiffany Render share a 13-year-old daughter and Howard has 4 other kids.
Most recently, Howard caught major heat on social media after sharing a video of his young son’s intense workout. As we reported previously, in the clip posted to Instagram, Howard’s son David is seen crying while working out on an exercise bike. The boy pleads with his father that he is in pain but Howard orders him to continue training.
“I can’t! I can’t! It’s too hard!” David cries but the NBA star urges his son to “go hard on the last set.”

In the video’s caption, Howard wrote: “I’m just teaching my kids what it means to be resilient, to be determined and to have discipline. Every day is a battle and some battles are going to be harder to win than others, but we have to fight them until we WIN! And if we WIN the day every day we’ll never lose in the end ! We have to finish every mission we begin and follow through. That’s the most important part ! Never say you can’t! Remember Philippians 4:13 … YOU CAN and you will! Just follow through. That’s how you be Great.”
Meanwhile, reality star Royce Reed blasted her ex Dwight as “evil” and for “pretending” to be a father after he posted the video of himself training his children.
Reed, who shares a 15-year-old son with Howard, claims he asked her to be the “matriarch” in his “polygamy quest,” RadarOnline.com reports.
“Not someone PRETENDING to be a parent for 1 day out of 365 for the cameras. Don’t make Thursdays turn into Truth Thursday,” Reed posted on social media.
In related news, Howard was recently hit with a lawsuit accusing him of sexually assaulting a man he allegedly met on Instagram.
