Terrell Owens is apparently having a good week with the mother’s of his children.

Earlier this week, the mother of his youngest wrote a blog about how he’s trying to turn his life around.

Today, the Associated Press reports Owens has made child support payments and promised to make future payments to Melanie Smith, the Atlanta mother of his 7-year-old daughter.

Owens appeared in court there Thursday, and signed an agreement before a judge. Smith’s lawyer said T.O. made back payments he owed and agreed to pay legal fees.

Stories like this one underscore why he’s trying so hard to find work, but he may find the women in his life more forgiving than NFL coaches.
