Former NBA star Eric Williams, husband of Basketball Wives star Jennifer Williams, allegedly had a child with another woman last year. The child was kept secret until now and the mother of the child wants child support from Williams. The baby’s mother, Tavia Serena Cannon, filed a complaint for support in Pennsylvania last week and claims the child was born October of last year. TMZ has the story:

Former NBA star Eric Williams – the estranged husband of “BB Wives” star Jennifer Williams – allegedly had a secret child in 2011 … and now the baby mama wants him to pony up some child support ASAP.

Tavia Serena Cannon filed a Complaint for Support in PA last week, she claims she had a child with Eric in October 2011. Cannon says she makes $300/week babysitting and wants Williams to fork over some cash and medical coverage for the kid.

Here’s the rub … at the time the baby was allegedly conceived — Jan/Feb 2011 — the former NBAer was still married to Jennifer … who didn’t file for divorce until June 2011.
