The custody battle for their children between Milwaukee Bucks guard Tyler Herro and his ex-girlfriend Katya Elise Henry continues with Katya questioning Herro's claims.
According to TMZ, Henry claims that Herro only exercised a handful of overnight visits with their two kids from March 2025 when the couple split until she filed a case against him, despite Tyler claiming otherwise.
Henry says that they need to have shared responsibility for the kids, but with the condition that she has the "ultimate decision-making authority" concerning the health, education and extracurricular activities for the children.
Tyler Herro, ex-girlfriend in legal battle over child custody and support for their two children
As TMZ reported earlier, Tyler Herro and Katya Elise Henry split after nearly seven years of being in a relationship. Thus, the breakup sparked a legal dispute over their two young children.
Herro initially approached the court to legally establish a formal parenting schedule and calculate official child support, noting he had been providing voluntary financial assistance to Henry since giving birth. However, Herro abruptly dismissed his case days later.
Days following Herro's dismissal, Henry filed her own petition seeking primary custody and court-ordered financial support against the Milwaukee Bucks guard. She claimed she had been the primary caregiver and decision-maker for their kids.
While Henry stated that she wants the children to maintain a relationship with Herro, she requested that the court implement temporary and permanent safeguards for them. Her filing cited Herro's "historical conduct," though she stated she "intentionally omitted" the explicit details out of respect for him.
Henry's petition also highlighted the severe disparity in their respective incomes due to Herro's substantial NBA salary. In the end, the case is still ongoing for both sides.
Herro and Henry welcomed their first child, a daughter, in 2021 before having a son in 2023.
Herro is set for new beginnings in his NBA career after being traded by the Miami Heat to the Milwaukee Bucks as part of the blockbuster Giannis Antetokounmpo deal.
