Tyler Herro‘s year from hell continues to get worse. The guard was limited to just 33 games for the Miami Heat last season, the lowest mark of his career, before missing the playoffs for the first time since being drafted after Miami fell to the Charlotte Hornets in the Play-In Tournament.

The 6-foot-5 guard was then traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in a blockbuster deal involving Giannis Antetokounmpo, which certainly wasn’t easy on him, considering he had established himself over the last two seasons as the top scorer for the South Beach franchise.
His offseason troubles only compounded from there, as he got into an altercation during the summer with former teammate Bam Adebayo, where Herro got the short end of the stick after taking a punch to the head. Today’s news suggests that the 2025 NBA All-Star has entered a custody and support battle with his baby mama, Katya Henry.
“In her filing, Katya asked the court for primary custody. She said she wanted their kids to see Tyler, but due to his ‘historical conduct,’ which she ‘intentionally omitted’ out of respect for him, ‘safeguards and parameters should be implemented on a temporary and permanent basis in order to ensure the safety and well-being’ of the kids. Katya said there is a large disparity in income due to Tyler being a professional athlete, who earns a substantial sum of money. The case is ongoing.” “TMZ” reported earlier today.
This could be a major blow to Herro’s public image
The couple had been together for the last seven years, specifically since Herro was drafted 13th overall by the Heat in 2019. During that period, the couple welcomed two children, a daughter born in 2021 and a son born in 2023, making this split extremely complicated.
In his filing, the 2022 Sixth Man of the Year asked the court to determine the amount of child support he would have to pay his ex, while also stating that he had been voluntarily paying his ex support since she gave birth, but the court dismissed his case a few days later.

Shortly after, Henry filed her own petition claiming she was the primary caregiver to their children, given that the NBA star is on the road with the team most of the time. Judging by the data obtained by “TMZ,” Henry is apparently insinuating “a history of violent behavior” as well.
This is definitely not a pleasant situation for the newest member of the Bucks, and it remains to be seen whether this will affect his play. If Henry’s claims prove true, it will be a major blow to Herro’s public image.
Herro now joins a growing list of NBA stars facing off-the-court drama following recent high-profile cases involving Luka Doncic and Anthony Edwards. Meanwhile, critics online have been quick to speculate whether the sudden move from sunny Miami to chilly Milwaukee added extra tension to the split.
Regardless of the noise, the NBA has another viral, high-stakes legal case on its hands.
