Former Atlantan ‘America’s Next Top Model’ runner up chasing child support from NFL player


Former Atlantan Nik Pace, who was runner up on “America’s Next Top Model” four years ago, has sued New York Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards for child support, asking for up to $70,000 a month.
She gave birth to Braylon Jr. in August in Atlanta. The pair are not married. (The story broke in The New York Post today.)
Randy Kessler, an Atlanta attorney who represents the football player, said his client filed in Fulton County to be recognized as Braylon Jr.’s dad in June, two months before the baby’s birth.
But to Edwards’ surprise, 25-year-old, Pace is trying to get the case moved to New York, where she now lives. Pace’s attorney Raoul Felder told me today that Edwards deliberately filed in Georgia because the state has less generous child support laws than New York. He also says she has not lived in Georgia for a long time.
Hogwash on both counts, said Kessler.
“He took affirmative actions to declare himself the father,” Kessler said. “He filed in Georgia because that’s where she lived at the time. He hopes to resolve this amicably.”
Edwards, according Fox Sports, is making $5.45 million this year
