Sunday night, the Orlando Magic were busy celebrating 20 years of the NBA team’s existence. As part of the “20 Years of Magic” celebration, more than 100 former Magic Dancers showed up at the Amway Arena - including this hot mama with a toddler in tow:
Who’s that? Why, it’s none other than Royce Reed, former girlfriend of Magic star Dwight Howard. And the little bundle of joy in her arms? That’s Royce & Dwight’s 1-year-old son, Braylon Joshua Robert Howard.
If you recall, little Braylon was the subject of a little controversy involving Dwight. Here was the older Howard, a superstar role model & very devout Christian, spreading the word of God ‘n’ such - and he goes out and impregnates a team dancer, who ends up having Dwight’s baby out of wedlock.
But Royce is back, and ready to show Dwight what he’s been missing out on. Pics of Dwight’s baby mama in action after the jump.
As offered up by the ORLANDO SENTINEL:
Baby mama said knock you out!
This move was very helpful during Braylon’s birthing process.
“I’m coming to get you, Dwight! Where’s my child support?”
But Royce can’t relive her Magic Dancin’ days forever, so it’s soon back to cradling Braylon, who’s busy shaking hands with an appreciative audience.

Dwight Howard is a beautifal man and his baby mother is alright too. I mean i wouldn't look at her twice let alone once. Exactly how old is she to be retired from dancing. I LOVE YOU DWIGHT

She danced/cheerleader at FAMU, shes about 28-30. She was a cutie back then, in too her self, you know young chick attitude (;but she not all that hot now. Im not dissing her but Dwight could have made a better choice.
Dont be so quick to make a decision on who will will be your baby mama.
2:41 pm on June 10th, 2009

11:27 pm on December 14th, 2009
Aww…lil Dwight is cute. I bet he’s a great father!!!So a fan of yours:)
11:55 am on December 23rd, 2009
He’s a great basketball player, but I am sorry to see that he can’t be a better role model. Too many unwed fathers and mothers raising kids. So sad…doesn’t matter that his dad is a big bball player….when will we break that cycle of unwed parents?
12:43 pm on February 5th, 2010
He is just another Christian hypocrite like evander holyfield.
2:11 pm on February 10th, 2010
Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone. Listen, I happen to be a great fan of Dwight’s. My son loves him as well. Okay,he had a baby out of wedlock, I’m not saying we should all go out and do this, but at least he is doing the stand up thing by claiming his son. He could be like so many other men period, black, white, orange, or green and deny his baby until the end of time. I will always be a fan of Supeman.
10:16 am on February 12th, 2010
gold digger, no class
4:34 pm on February 19th, 2010
Why is everyone attacking this woman like she got herself pregnant? Know the story before commenting. They were a couple for years before she became pregnant and she did trap him; it wasn’t immaculate conception they had sex and she became pregnant, he is as much to blame as her. Everyone that called her ugly or had something negative to say about her needs to get a life and stop hating on this woman. Just because Dwight can put a ball in the hoop ot doesn’t make him a saint, he date people and just because she fell for him it doesn’t make her a golddigger. No one has mentioned that she is now a single mother that bends over backwards to care for their child, everyone is too busy bashing her to think about that. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.
7:37 pm on February 21st, 2010
Please guys, stop. I know I made a mistake but I do not regret me actions, I have a healthy people loving son now and I love him and I ask that you respect this.
1:36 pm on April 11th, 2010
Everyone has an opinion….Mr.Howard and Ms. Reece were two consenting adults who came together and made a child.m I believe that they love their son and what they should do is both grow up and respectfullyn caren for him. Granted his child support payment would be great but that is the cost of a broken relationship. He needs to just pay the money and drop his lawsuit against her! It makes no sense..the best way to hurt a woman when she has a man by the balls or is telling the truth is to try to take her child from her and that proves what? He won’t have to pay child support,that he was the bigger person. Oh well to each his own but I sincerely wish their son the best and pray that he is happy when it is all said and done.
1:38 pm on April 11th, 2010
Typo to previous message that’s Ms. REED
sorry bout that but my opinion still remains no matter the names. You know what i’m talking about!
11:25 am on April 20th, 2010
tell em t.howard…well you live and learn…a saint is just a sinner who fell down…only God can judge him folks..but what you cant deny is his God-given talent…D.Howard comes from a family of God-fearing winners so he will shine and get through all the bull…..go howard go howard…take a bow for dem haters
11:49 am on April 20th, 2010
and another thing, d.howard you dont have to explain yourself to these idiots or anyone else..yea you came into the game proclaiming your love for God and in the process made some mistakes..thats life and at the end of the day your relationship with the man upstairs your family and friends are the only thing that matters..i dont judge no man’s sin for real…as for your baby mama…uh who is she again???..i caught an episode of that baller wife..basketball wife crap and uhhh yea obviously she has some issues..but again who is anyone to judge and frankly who the fuck cares…and t.howard i think ur right…i think dees hizos wish they were calling u sis-in-law…lol

2:39 pm on April 21st, 2010
As I sat here and read I hav to say I was upset at most of the comments. There is no need to bad mouth the yung lady, it is very obvious that she is very attractive (even the blind can see that) if u say otherwise u are just a mean envious and bitter person. Everyone understands how a child is made, it takes 2. Their child is a blessing. Ppl need to remember that it’s not the consequence that is the sin, but rather the act itself. Yes he was professing his love for God and am sure now he doesn’t love God any less.It is bad he fornicated, it is bad wen every other Christian does it…being a star does not make him more accountable.
1:46 pm on April 26th, 2010
I AGREE WITH “DOESN’T MATTER.” PEOPLE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE FLESH IS WEAK. AND BEING A HUMAN BEING, YOU WAKE UP EACH DAY WITH FAULT IN YOU. IT’S UP TO THE PERSON TO TRY AND STAY IN THE RACE. YES, BOTH DWIGHT AND ROYCE WERE WRONG BY LAYING TOGETHER WITHOUT BEING MARRIED AND ON TOP OF THAT CONCEIVING A BABY; BUT YOU KNOW WHAT NAY- SAYERS… AS LONG AS THEY SEE THE FAULT IN THEIR OWN ACTIONS; THE THINGS YOU ALL PUT OUT THERE DOESN’T MATTER. EVERYTHING IN THEIR LIVES NOW HAS CHANGED; MEANING THEY BOTH HAVE SOME GROWING UP TO DO!!! I JUST HOPE THEY ARE BOTH SEEING THE BIGGER PICTURE… IT’S NOT ABOUT EITHER OF THEM, IT’S ABOUT THAT CUTE LITTLE BABY BOY THAT WAS CONCEIVED. WHAT YOU EXPOSE HIM TO AS HE GROWS HAS AN AFFECT ON HIM AS HE GETS OLDER. BOTH SHOULD DO WHAT’S RIGHT AND BUILD AN EVEN DEEPER RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD SO THAT WHEN THE ENEMY (HATERS & MEDIA ALIKE) COMES AT THEM, THE ARMOR OF THE GOD THAT THEY SERVE IS ALREADY IN PLACE… ROYCE PLEASE LEARN TO CARRY YOURSELF AS A RESPECTABLE YOUNG LADY, BECAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS, IT’S TIME TO LEAVE THE HALF- ASS OUT BUTT SHAKEN TO THE YOUNG CHILDLESS GIRLS. STEP INTO YOUR ROLE AS A WOMAN.
1:51 pm on April 26th, 2010
ANOTHER THING…. DWIGHT I SEE THAT YOUR DOING YOUR THINNG IN THIS P/O SERIES W/ THE BOBCATS. THEY ARE GIVING YOU HELL WITH THE FOULS BUT IT’S ALL GOOD. YOU AND THE ENTIRE ORLANDO MAGIC TEAM KEEP DOING YOUR THING BECAUSE I SEE THAT MANY BASKETBALL LOVERS ARE HATING ON YOU ALL… KEEP PUSHING AND MAKE THEM BELIEVERS….I’M A BIG FAN OF THE MAGIC AND FROM TEXAS…. GO ORLANDO… CHAMPIONSHIP BOUND!!!!!!
9:07 am on May 3rd, 2010
People sooo need to stop hating on this girl. The ladies know that if they had half a chance to sleep with dwight you probably would, so what did she do wrong? Ill tell you what, that how low can you go performance was NOT a good look. But all and all she can dance and is a pretty girl.
9:55 pm on May 16th, 2010
Royce is pretty better yet she is sexy as hell she needs some boobies but hey she is gorgeous, their baby is aight, he look like the grinch when he cries. her body is tight and that dancing thing do ur thing girl . D. Howward he aight the baby looks just like him, but him gettign better is the smae thing for her cause she could of got better. they need to work out the situation because one they got a child together be better parents if they arent already..

6:36 am on May 24th, 2010
It takes two to tangle. There is nothing wrong with this woman. Most of you need to get a life!
5:14 pm on May 26th, 2010
she not ugly but she not cute.but anyway i cant believe that child support crap beacuse he make millions he can give it to her any day so its what eva .yep it do take two to tangle but still its not just his fault she wanted to fuck him so much she should have had it. and do yall not see her on basketball wives yea real mature who does stuff like that and she posted shit about and stufff know wonder dwight suein her i would do it to but thats all i got to say about that
10:01 pm on May 26th, 2010
My goodness…this is a mess!! This is my first time seeing his baby momma, and I agree with dee…she’s not cute & she’s not ugly. I really expected something different for Dwight. Hey, who knows? Maybe she tricked him…maybe she poked hole(s) in the condom. Anyway, so many women do stuff like this all the time, and I will never understand why. So many women try to set up men to get that extra money (child support) the the next 18 years. Sad..just plain sad.
3:29 am on May 27th, 2010
Wow! If you haven’t seen Basketball Wives, she is annoying and fake! Dwight could have done sooooo much better… and if she did want to be a good mom, she should’ve never danced like that on the show, during that contest… I’m not hating, I’m just sayin!!
9:56 pm on May 27th, 2010
even thought howard is my hubby she still een gat nothing lol nice baby lil howard there and dwight could do better fa tru what kinda role model is she to her son ?
12:30 am on May 28th, 2010
All of u all on ths site talkn bout hvn baby’s out of wedlock and gold diggn and all are hypocrites ur selves. Ur not goin to tell me tha every single one of u hvnt had sex w/o bein married.ummm that’s called a sin also.Judging others is also one. And, u fems that r calln her ugly r hatn and the dudes r gay, and the ones who r not need 2 stop lyin cuz u wld knck her off also..4 the one’s who say he cld do better, like with who? that white chic is was with? lol right. that negro is no model either, he’s rich and can play ball and if he wanted 2 do u you wld gv it up 2 him also. My baby????? but she’s a gold digger??? u heifers r just jealous u didn’t get 2 him 1st. You can’t sleep with sum1 and knock them up then pretend like she doesn’t exist …so i guess she put a gun 2 his head and made him do it..lol..u ppl r really funny…they need 2 do a reality show called dumb a**es and cast all of u.
11:54 pm on June 7th, 2010
Royce is BEAUTIFUL. She has talent…..Don’t fault her because she cared about a man who was too stupid to wear a condom. She has a beautiful son and it’s just a matter of time until his father forgets he exists.
8:17 pm on June 12th, 2010
She is ugly and she gets around! So sad..
4:35 pm on June 16th, 2010
i don’t care what anyone said’s about my man i just want him to know i love him so much she’s just stuck with a child like every other woman rising kids
2:55 am on June 18th, 2010
IT IS WHAT IT IS. IS A SHAME THAT A BABY A IS IN THE MIDDLE. I THINK PEOPLE NEEDS TO BE MORE RESPONSIBLE WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO SEX. BOTH PARTIES SHOULD BE A SHAME. WORK THIS MESS OUT FOR THE BABY.
3:30 am on June 21st, 2010
I THINK ROYCE IS VERY PRETTY SHE IS THE PRETTIEST ONE ON THE BASKETBALL WIVES SHOW. I HOPE SHE TAKES DEWHITE HOWARD TO THE CLEANER. HE IS NOT GOOD LOOKING AT ALL, HE HAS A FAT HEAD
8:39 am on June 21st, 2010
Dwight is ugly very ugly at that sorry… But he does need to drop that white bitch and bewit his son and royce, since he’s such a fuckin christian.
1:37 am on June 23rd, 2010
isnt this chick on basketball wives? didnt she make that dancing video with ludacris and t.o. next to her? ya thats what i thought…. a hoe…. is he with her? no… thank you
2:21 am on June 23rd, 2010
First order of business: the woman is NOT ugly!!! Now, that we’ve cleared that. He’s a low down, good for nothing bastard that lucked up with a bball career….. Negro, making dollars like that, and not raking care of his kid? If you ask me, he’s the Ugly one! I really don’t care who on here knows him personally or whatever!!! Deadbeat dads are pathetic, and it makes me sick to my stomach to see them living the luxury life, and enjoying the spoils of wealth, and do nothing for your own flesh!!!! I think his career should be to scoop poop off the highways!!! At least he’d have one thing in common with his work! Ol Shitty ass dude!
3:06 pm on June 26th, 2010
Royce’s face is busted
4:14 pm on December 27th, 2010
How about you people learn how to spell before you discuss people on this site!

12:59 am on January 3rd, 2011
I never knew Royce was a mother on the show (only watched a few episodes and couldn’t ever make it through one entire program) All these women act like white trash or ghetto whores. Just wanted to say Reese acts like she has the mentality of a high school girl, definitely not a mother. I was shocked to find out she was actually a mom. Doesn’t matter who the father is. She needs to grow up and actually be a mom. Sorry the show portrays her as a sleazy little over the hill dancer. Hey, but she has a great attitude and is so fun to be around right? Wonder what he son will think when he sees the show when he gets older. Embarrassing!!!
4:32 pm on January 7th, 2011
That aint his baby.. To popped Dwight is hot the baby is not.

i think that royce got alot of haters royce girl dont worry do u and u will be fine let the drama go
3:54 am on February 27th, 2011
I won’t insult Royce’s looks because she is not responsible for her looks, we are all born with our face and she’s doing it her way.
I also won’t insult Royce’s body because she didn’t choose that either, she is rockin what she was born with and that’s okay.
My opinion is that she appears to be extremely insecure within herself but overcompensates by “stepping up” to those who can squash her. It’s a fool’s ploy to jump into anything before you are really ready and it appears she has done that.
Okay so she had a few drinks and did the dance that was not the issue, it was that she did her dance, it was fine until the other woman came out who made her look like an eager little ten year old. Then she jumps in FRONT of the other woman and tries to take over the spotlight…why? Then the other girl calmly USES her as if to say, you are no threat.
She pulled every single ploy “I will suck my finger” I will shake my butt HARD” I will flip my hair and I will dance dance DANCE…I will even come BACK and dance when it isn’t my turn not because I want the tickets but because dammit I will change these people’s minds …they probably don’t think I’m as pretty or shapely …but I will show them.
And after all that desperate energy and jumping around…she still was not the winner! She had to share the prize, that more than anything was what was sad.
She was not genuine she looked frantic,. The other girl didn’t break a sweat and she still got tickets.
12:07 am on March 15th, 2011
Is this a joke? More than half of you cannot spell. And then the other half (probably more than half) probably has their own issues to deal with. Wasting time having serious/stupid comments about ppl who you will probably never have the pleasure of mtg. And if you did, you wouldn’t say these things to their faces. Get a life.
9:05 pm on April 26th, 2011
Why do people think that a Christian is suppose to be perfect? God is the only perfect being who makes no mistakes. Being Christian doesn’t mean you do no wrong. We are only human. I can only pray for all of them.
2:13 pm on May 2nd, 2011
