Most people just know about Dwight’s son Braylon that he has with Basketball Wives Star Royce Reed. That is the only child that he publicly acknowledges.

For years it has been known that Dwight has had other children, but the relevance of that information wasn’t important. That changed when information came out that Dwight was seeking sole custody of his son from Royce Reed. If you recall Dwight has a gag order against Royce where she basically can’t say his name in public or that he is the father of her child. When Royce has possibly said anything in violation of that order Dwight has sued her. It is to protect his image, one that has been carefully crafted. 

There are also unconfirmed rumors there may be two other women who claim to have children by Howard a woman named Emili in Seminole, FL and another woman of Caribbean descent. If true that would bring the count close to Shawn Kemp levels.
