Getting to Know Braylon Howard: Some Fascinating Facts About Dwight Howard's Son!

Braylon Howard is a well-known celebrity kid. Howard is best recognized for being the son of Dwight Howard, who's famous for playing basketball with the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA, and Royce Reed, who is an actress.  

Braylon Howard's Early Life

Braylon Howard was born on November 18, 2007, in the United States. Howard's real name is Braylon Joshua Robert Howard. His dad is Dwight Howard, the basketball player, and his mom is Royce Reed, the actress. 

Howard is an American, and his zodiac sign is Scorpio.  As for school, Braylon is still in the early stages of his education, and we don't know where he goes to school yet. 

How Wealthy is Braylon Howard?

Braylon Howard enjoys a comfortable life because his father is a famous NBA player. However, Howard is still in school and doesn't earn his own money.

Howard's dad, Dwight Howard, on the other hand, is quite wealthy. As of 2023, his dad's net worth is over $140 million. He also makes about $23 million every year, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Braylon Howard's Siblings

Braylon Howard isn't the only child in the family. Howard has four younger siblings: Trey Howard, David Howard, Jade Howard, and Layla Howard. What's interesting is that all of them have different moms.  

Unfortunately, we don't hear much about the mothers in the media. One of Howard's siblings, David, was born to his father's ex-girlfriend, Melissa Rios. Sadly, Melissa passed away due to an epileptic seizure on March 27, 2020, when David was just six years old. 

Braylon is the oldest brother, and he has a great relationship with all his brothers and sisters. They even go on vacations together. 

Braylon Howard's Mother Takes Legal Action Against His Dad

After Braylon Howard's parents separated, his mother, Royce Reed, went to court. She filed something called a "paternity suit" against Dwight Howard, Braylon's dad. This suit was filed in the Orange County Circuit Court. 

In this legal action, Reed wanted the court to officially confirm that Dwight was Braylon's dad. She also wanted the court to decide things like child support and other responsibilities dads have. Additionally, Royce asked for help with medical expenses for Braylon.  

Now, here's another part of the story. Royce and Dwight were on a reality TV show called "Basketball Wives." But there were some rules about them talking about each other in public. It turns out that Reed broke these rules. She said some not-so-nice things about Dwight on Twitter, not just once but 11 times!

Because Royce broke these rules, Dwight took her to court. For every time she broke the rules, there was a $500 fine. And guess what? Those tweets reached a million people. So, Dwight said Reed owed him a whopping $550 million.

But Reed's side of the story is different. Her representative said that the information she shared came from a legal document, not just made-up stuff. 

The Troublesome Allegations Against Braylon Howard   

Braylon Howard, Dwight Howard's 16-year-old son, has recently become entangled in a troubling scandal. He has been the target of multiple charges, including inappropriate sexual behavior with minors and allegations of neglect by his mother.   

According to court documents obtained by The Shade Room, while the two boys were at Royce Reed's house, Braylon reportedly forced the minor son of Royce's boyfriend to perform a sexual act. Howard reportedly told investigators that he "made (minor child's name withheld) masturbate me because I was angry at him," and that this happened twice. Braylon also claimed that his "anger triggers him into acting out sexually."  

Royce informed detectives that he has been seeing a sexual treatment counselor at TrueCore Behavioral Solutions for the past eight months in reaction to her son's inappropriate behavior. However, when her son informed the counselor about the incident, it was reported to the Department of Children and Families, and Reed was charged with third-degree criminal child negligence on March 10th.

Braylon and Dwight were in the news a year or so ago for their strained relationship. Because of this, the child went out of his way to expose his father. After much pushing from the media, Dwight eventually responded to his own child's charges against him.   

When the back-and-forth subsided, there was hope that the relationship had been mended and that all individuals involved were in a better place now. But that is certainly not the case, as Braylon recently took to social media to voice his disgust for his father, stating that Howard has never been around or played with him.
