It took 19 months but Josh Gordon has FINALLY acknowledged in court that he IS the father of a little girl named Emma … and he seems to be making an effort to be a part of her life.
Gordon has been involved in a paternity case with Christina Lockhart since last year — a Cleveland area woman who’s reportedly on welfare and had been seeking child support from Gordon.
Lockhart got a DNA test back in September that showed the troubled NFL star is the dad … but Gordon finally acknowledged it in court on Wednesday.
The good news … Gordon says he wants to be involved in Emma’s life and has been granted “reasonable parenting time with the child as agreed upon by the parties.”
A hearing has been called for April — when the two sides are could begin hashing out a child support agreement.
Gordon’s had a rough year — his NFL comeback stalled when he entered rehab again in October.
