NBA superstar Jimmy Butler is taking his baby mama drama off court after agreeing to settle their differences in private, DailyMail.com can reveal. The Heat forward, 35, filed papers last month asking a Miami judge to slap down ex-girlfriend Kaitlin Nowak's demand for a $10,000-per-month nanny.

Butler insisted the $55,000 he pays his former flame every month in child support is more than enough to meet the needs of their three kids Rylee, Brayan, and Kian, according to the court filings published by DailyMail.com in December. But late Friday Butler, 35, withdrew his motion for temporary relief, indicating in a court filing that the pair had instead entered into 'ongoing settlement discussions.'.

The six-time All-Star has been the biggest story in the NBA for the past week after he stunned Miami by requesting a trade. But DailyMail.com revealed he was also secretly embroiled in year-long paternity battle that went unreported because a Miami judge agreed to seal the records.

That changed last month when Butler's attorney filed a scathing court motion calling on Nowak, 34, to explain how she spends the 'tremendous' sums of money her ex gives her. The filing further noted Nowak's alleged 'refusal' to get a job - adding: 'It must be pointed out that the father and mother were never married.
