Renner Started PJ Washington’s Child Support Rumours
Born August 23, 1998, Washington was traded to the Mavericks at the trade deadline in February 2024, helping the team reach the 2024 NBA Finals.
Off the court, Washington’s personal life has also garnered significant attention, particularly surrounding the rumors about his child support payments to Brittany Renner.
In a podcast on Tonight’s Conversation, Britanny has shared that she doesn’t receive her 200k per month child support from her baby daddy, Washington.
She has also gone on to say that due to the low amount that PJ has been paying, his child support payments do not fund her and her son’s lifestyle.
Britanny goes on saying despite the situation, she tries her best and “does the damn thing” to just keep on going and provide for their young son.
She has revealed her child support amount by saying
For whatever reason, that number circulates, but I provide for my child. I get $2,500 a month.

A lot of people judge that, but it’s like, you can’t rely on your child’s father to provide for you, so you have to make a way, you know? So, it’s like, I’ve never been about money, it’s never been about that, but it’s like, especially me not getting $200,000.

PJ and Britanny Announced Their Pregnancy For Their Son In March 2021
Despite all this bad blood between them, PJ and Britanny were once a happy couple in love with each other.
PJ Washington and Brittany Renner’s relationship began around late 2019 and early 2020, reportedly after meeting at the University of Kentucky, where Washington played college basketball.
Their connection gained public attention when Washington liked several of Renner’s Instagram posts and invited her to a basketball game.
By April 2020, their relationship had progressed, with a since-deleted Instagram post hinting they were quarantining together during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In March 2021, the couple announced Renner’s pregnancy, expressing excitement about their first child.
Their son, Paul Jermaine Washington III, was born May 5, 2021. They shared their joy on social media, referring to each other as baby daddy and baby mama.
However, by July 2021, their relationship had ended, with Washington hinting at significant issues through an X (formerly Twitter) post.
The breakup sparked controversy due to their eight-year age gap, leading to accusations of grooming against Renner.
Renner, who’s six years older than Washington, was widely accused of trapping him, which she has denied and has said,
If I’m 30 years old and I’m talking to your son, that’s 12 years younger than me, what’s the problem?Think about JAY-Z and Beyoncé. Whether you’re talking about me or JAY-Z, what’s the difference?

Furthermore, Brittany also revealed that she was on birth control until PJ Washington expressed his desire for them to have a child, despite her being open to waiting for kids.
Following their separation, the two focused on co-parenting, alternating custody days, and ensuring their son’s well-being.
While Renner admitted the relationship did not work, she explained how they both make time to see their son, alternating between days of the week.
She even praised Washington for being very much present and caring of him, ensuring the child is being well cared for. She has also shared the custody schedule by saying,
If we have a schedule where it’s alternating — I get Monday and Tuesday. He gets Wednesday [and] Thursday…we alternate Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Am I a single mom then, still? Or it’s just because I’m single, I don’t have a partner? ‘Cause his father is very much present and takes care of him. I mean my son, I ain’t gonna lie … he’s in a multimillion-dollar house, he gets dropped off in a Lamborghini, he ain’t hurting for nothing.

Despite the breakup, both remain committed to raising their child and maintaining a co-parenting relationship.
