Jennifer Williams‘ ex-husband Eric Williams is being financially pursued by his alleged baby mama, who is demanding he pays her child support. Tavia Serena Cannon alleges she had a secret child with the former baller in 2011 and has filed a claim for the payout, according to TMZ who have obtained the court papers.

Here’s what went down:

Tavia Serena Cannon filed a Complaint for Support in PA last week, she claims she had a child with Eric in October 2011. Cannon says she makes $300/week babysitting and wants Williams to fork over some cash and medical coverage for the kid.

Here’s the rub … at the time the baby was allegedly conceived — Jan/Feb 2011 — the former NBAer was still married to Jennifer … who didn’t file for divorce until June 2011.

Sources close to Jennifer tell TMZ this news comes as a shock. They claim the “BB Wife” had NO CLUE about the child. Their divorce is still pending in a NJ court.

This is not the first child for Eric. In 201o, a woman named Brandy accused Eric of being a deadbeat dad who wouldn’t take a paternity test so she decided to tweet Jennifer a pic of her 18 month old son Jaden just to confirm that the baby does exist:

Sources close to Jen say she is shocked by the claim and had no clue Eric had fathered a child behind her back.

Damn Jen is not having a good year!
