Tyler Herro and his former girlfriend Katya Henry are heading into a legal dispute over custody and financial support for their two children.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Henry has filed a petition seeking primary custody and child support. The former couple share a daughter born in 2021 and a son born in 2023, and Henry says she has served as the children’s primary caregiver and handled most of their day-to-day decisions.
Henry says she wants the children to maintain a relationship with Herro, but is asking the court to establish temporary and permanent safeguards around that relationship. She did not specify what conduct she was referring to, writing that she had intentionally left those details out “out of respect for him.” Because the filing does not explain the allegation, anything beyond that language would be speculation.
The legal situation did not begin solely with Henry.
Herro had previously filed his own petition asking the court to establish a parenting schedule and determine the appropriate level of child support. In that filing, the Milwaukee Bucks guard said he had already been voluntarily providing financial support since the children were born. Herro later dismissed that case before Henry filed her own petition.
Henry is also pointing to the significant financial difference between the two parents. Her filing notes that Herro earns substantial income as a professional NBA player and asks the court to establish formal support accordingly. The amount being sought has not been publicly disclosed.
The two had been in a relationship for nearly seven years, according to Henry’s filing, making this more than a brief celebrity split. Their relationship began early in Herro’s NBA career and eventually included two children before the couple separated.
For now, the case remains unresolved.
There has been no judicial finding supporting Henry’s reference to Herro’s “historical conduct,” nor has she publicly detailed what she meant by it. Herro’s earlier filing also indicates that he was seeking a formal role in the parenting arrangement rather than walking away from it.
