Dolphins linebacker Xavien Howard, slammed online by a woman claiming to be her daughter’s father, claims he told family ‘the baby is not his’ despite DNA test results
Xavien Howard is quietly becoming top-of-the-line cornerbacks within the NFL, helping the Miami Dolphins clinch the No. 1 seed within the AFC playoffs. While he should be praised for his play, Howard has seen his name dragged down the drain amid accusations of being a “bumbling dad.”
The allegations began in September when Aly Marie – an Instagram/adult film model under the name @itstaithefivefooter – claimed she was pregnant with Howard’s child. She claimed that the 30-year-old had a “fetish for getting pregnant” and that he tried to persuade her to terminate her pregnancy.

She also said she was contacted by one other of his kid’s alleged moms. Tai sent screen shots from a conversation with the second woman and in them the woman said she was pregnant with considered one of his children and he had one other 4 “all babies on the way”.
Now the woman who allegedly texted Tai has come forward to speak about her experience with Howard. Denisha Owens, the alleged second mother, took to Instagram to condemn him for causing this “drama.”
She has over 2,800 followers on Instagram, however it appears her posts have been deleted or archived. Only five appear, including a pinned post from Aug. 18 that features a photo of her and her daughter, Xara Howard.
On December 4, Owens shared 4 other posts criticizing the Dolphins player. One post is a carousel of crudely photoshopped images calling Howard a coward, pasted onto the highest of a jumpsuit with stock images. Owens stated that she needed help turning the photos into real rompers for her daughter.
Owens said she was going to print the DNA test on the second page “because (Howard) has been going around telling the family that my child is not his child and that I photoshopped the DNA result.” She then attached a photo to this post “Non-invasive prenatal paternity test” from the DNA Diagnostics Center of December 21, 2022.
The test showed there was a “greater than 99.9%” probability that Howard was the daddy of their unborn child. Owens said she was going to make a T-shirt with Maury Povich’s famous phrase “you are the father.”
“I also get a shirt made out of it with Maury saying, ‘YOU ARE THE FATHER.’ Honey, you’ll be able to keep my daughter’s name out of your mouth. Worry about why you have got a lot money and that you just are missing side teeth.
Fans were divided in Owens’ comments over the IG tirade, with some calling out the woman. Fans said: “I don’t blame you but was he a killer dad to the other kids before you got pregnant? That would be a sign to get TF out of there immediately” and “Delete that boo.”
Owens continued in one other post, writing, “Please worry about the epidemics you have on your penis, Mr. Howard.” She then threatened to reveal alleged messages between them wherein Howard asked to be shot within the back because he had contracted an STD from one other woman.
”…she burned you. I won’t give this woman’s name because I don’t desire anyone else involved. But you see, there’s a reason I stayed silent. Meanwhile, proceed the drama,” Owens wrote.
In the caption, she added: “You say she’s not your baby COOL! What a guy who argues along with his own child. It’s a pity that neither of your moms gets together with you. You post your kids on social media such as you’re “daddy of the year,” but you do not see any of your kids.
She insisted his 4-year-old son “doesn’t like” him and referred to other claims that suggest he hits children. Howard has not responded to the most recent allegations presently.
In a recent post on her page, Owens shared a jumpsuit that included a stock photo of Howard and a copy of the alleged DNA test results. “Xavien Howard is my killer dad,” it read at the highest. “He tells people I’m not his child, but DNA has proven it to be a lie,” it added at the underside.
She ended her caption by saying she modified her daughter’s last name from Howard.
On her Instagram Story, Owens responded to the claim that Howard “told you he didn’t want this baby.” She said: “You only want to get her in case you want to sleep with me, but you tell your whores ‘she’s lying, she’s my baby.’
She also claimed that Howard recently lied concerning the “second baby boy you just had,” telling those that asked him that he attended a baby shower for a “homegirl.” She remarked, “You lie so much, that’s why that nose is so damn big.”
Howard was in a long-term relationship along with his ex-girlfriend Keeli Long. They have two daughters: Ava, 8, Skylar, 6, and a 4-year-old boy named Xavien Jr.
