Milwaukee Bucks guard Tyler Herro and Katya Elise Henry, the mother of his two children, had already been living in separate homes for more than a year when they filed competing petitions over custody and support in August, according to court documents obtained by TMZ Sports.
The records undercut the impression that the legal fight followed an abrupt household breakup. Henry’s filings indicate she moved out of Herro’s eight-bedroom, nine-bathroom, 9,019-square-foot Miami mansion in February 2025, after the pair lived there together from September 2021 through January 2025. She and the children then moved into a four-bedroom, four-bathroom, 2,844-square-foot home a few miles away, the documents say.
That timeline means the former couple had been maintaining two Miami households for roughly 18 months before both petitioned a court on Aug. 20. Herro later dismissed his case in less than a week. Henry’s petition remains active.
Herro and Henry were never married. They share a daughter born in 2021 and a son born in 2023. Both asked a court to establish a parenting plan.
In his filing, Herro asked the court to set a parenting schedule and determine child support. He said he had been paying support voluntarily since the children were born. He withdrew that petition days later. TMZ and subsequent reports have not detailed why.
Henry described a romantic relationship of nearly seven years and said she had been the children’s primary caregiver and decision-maker. She asked for primary custody and for the court to set child support, citing Herro’s NBA salary and what she called a large disparity in their incomes.
She also asked for “safeguards and parameters” on a temporary and permanent basis, saying they were needed for the “safety and well-being” of the children because of Herro’s “historical conduct.” She wrote that she “intentionally omitted” those details “out of respect for him.” The public filings, as reported, do not describe the conduct. Neither Herro nor Henry has issued a public statement addressing the allegation.
The case is ongoing. No hearing outcome or temporary order has been reported.
TMZ reported Herro continued liking Henry’s Instagram posts until Aug. 12, then stopped following her. The petitions were filed eight days later. Social-media interaction is not proof of a relationship status, but the gap between the move-out date and the filings helps explain why some observers treated the court fight as a surprise.
