According to the Beaumont Enterprise newspaper, court filing notes that Dirk Nowitzki may be expecting his firstchild.

Nowitzki’s former girlfriend Crista Ann Taylor, the woman that was recently arrested at Dirk Nowitzki’s home, named the NBA Star as the father of her unborn child and a paternity test has been ordered by the court.

And if paternity tests show that the 7-0 German is the father, Nowitzki has filed for full custody of the unborn child.

The AP reports that though “…neither Nowitzki nor Taylor is specifically named in the petition… the petitioner is identified as ‘D.N.’ and the respondent as ‘C.T.’ ”

Taylor was arrested at the Nowitzki home on May 6 and was administered a pregnancy test when she was booked into the Dallas County jail after her arrest last month and the test came back positive, The Dallas Morning News has reported.

The yet-to-be-born child is reportedly Taylor’s fourth.

Gerrick Fallon, a roommate close to the situation says that the 38-year old already has three biological children from three different fathers.  All three are now teenagers, an 18-year-old girl, 15-year-old boy and 14-year-old girl, and Taylor has little to no involvement in raising them.

“(Taylor’s) mother always took care of the children because Cristal was either incapable or unwilling to take care of them,” Fallon said. “Because she was always [in trouble] or on the run.”

She is being held at the Jefferson County jail in Beaumont, Texas. Taylor has been jailed from accusations that she paid off  almost $11,000 in dental work with a credit card she didn’t have permission to use. She also faces a probation violation charge in Missouri.

Taylor is scheduled to return to court July 24 for her trial.
