NBA star Tyler Herro is set to open the 2026-27 season on Wednesday night.
Herro was part of the blockbuster Giannis trade, that sent the Milwaukee Bucks star to Miami. Herro, a Wisconsin native, is back playing in his home state. He’ll make his regular season debut for the Bucks on Wednesday evening, as they take on the Washington Wizards on the road.
Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. E.T. on Wednesday night.
But, ahead of tipoff, Herro’s baby mother, Katya, has accused him of sending “inappropriate” text messages.
Katya Elise Henry claims that Tyler Herro has sent her a bunch of “aggressive” and “inappropriate” texts since their split.
“As TMZ first reported, Katya asked the court to set boundaries on communication between her and Tyler … specifically, she wants all convos to take place in a court-monitored app. She claimed he has sent her a bunch of “aggressive” and “inappropriate” texts since their split,” they reported.
Tyler Herro is denying this, though
The new Milwaukee Bucks star claims that this is untrue.
“In his filing, Tyler claims that is BS. He said he communicates with Katya like any former couple talks to each other. He admits neither party has used “perfect” language but is adamant his messages have been “reasonable,'” they reported.
“He said there is no message sent by him that would require Katya to run to court. Tyler also said there is nothing wrong with him asking Katya to talk to his mom about scheduling custody of their kids, which Katya complained about.”
The couple split in 2025.
They share two children.
Katya, like Herro, has a big following on social media, with more than 7 million followers on her Instagram page, and millions more across other platforms.
