Speaking of which, Us Weekly reports that Miss Nikki Baby, 35, and Gelo, 27, have been entangled in a months-long court battle over their kids. They share a son, LaVelo Anthony Ball, born July 19, 2023, and a daughter, LaNiyah Nicole Ball, born December 3, 2024. Talk about drama!
If you’ve been following, you know these two had a messy public split back in February after three and a half years together. Nikki, the former reality star, alleged Gelo just up and walked out on her and their babies. She even claimed he got someone else pregnant and was starting a whole new family.
But the drama didn’t stop there. While they were breaking up, Gelo secretly tied the knot with a woman named Rashida Nicole in February. Then, by late June, they announced a baby was on the way. Just days later, July 9, news dropped that Gelo filed for divorce from Rashida. Chile, the plot thickens!
Fast forward to December 2, Rashida announced the birth of their daughter, Lilo Legacy Ball. And guess what? Gelo wasn’t even there for the delivery! She went on to blast him as a deadbeat and even publicly apologized to Nikki for their past online beef. Wild, right?
Nikki Baby’s Books Are Open: Monthly Income and Expenses Revealed in Child Support Battle
Now, ten months post-split, Nikki is pulling back the curtain on her and Gelo’s finances as this child support case heats up. In court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Nikki’s lawyer claims Gelo told them he’s bringing in a whopping $666,666 every single month. Phew!
“In a single month, LiAngelo makes more than Nicole’s entire net worth, including her cash, checking, investments, 50 percent equity in a Beverly Hills condominium and her equity interest in a Rolls Royce.”
Apparently, Gelo’s net worth was a cool $3,894,562.55 as of May 2025. The documents break it down: $6,453,546.55 in assets against $2,558,984 in debts. Sounds like he’s doing alright, wouldn’t you say?
Following up on those big numbers for LiAngelo, Nikki filed her own financial breakdown on November 24. She laid out her monthly income and expenses, listing her occupation as an “influencer.” She claims her current monthly take-home is around $4,167.
It’s a huge drop, she admits. Her average monthly income last year, in 2024, was $10,000, but now it’s reportedly $0 from her main gig. Good thing she’s still pulling in $2,000 a month from her lingerie and clothing company. Plus, she’s sitting on $20,000 in cash and banks, and $441,502 in real estate.
Nikki explained that her pregnancy from March to December 2024 significantly impacted her earnings. And since welcoming her little one, she hasn’t returned to her work as a real estate agent.
Nikki Baby Needs Help: Loans From Parents for Living Expenses Revealed
Her monthly expenses? A staggering $36,349.27! But she clarified that a big chunk of that, $31,120.70, is covered by others. Here’s a peek at her spending: $9,750 for rent, $200 for health care, $4,400 for child care, $2,000 on groceries, $1,000 on DoorDash (we all know that struggle!), $1,431 for utilities, $384 for her cell phone, and a cool $8,975 for “hygiene, health, social, and literary.” That last one got us scratching our heads!
On top of that, Nikki listed a $28,000 minimum payment on her American Express. Her car situation isn’t light either: $2,375 for a Range Rover lease, and another $5,800 for a second car. The real tea? She owes her parents, Anthony and Marcelle Mudarris, $156,725 for living expense loans. And don’t forget the $97,000 in lawyer fees for this very child support case. It adds up!
Us Weekly also revealed that on December 10, Nikki pushed back against LiAngelo’s requests for her bank statements, jewelry purchases, cosmetic and plastic surgery documents, and travel expenses. Looks like she’s not about to reveal *all* her secrets! These two are set to face off in court again later this month. We’ll be watching!
