Hayden Hopkins clarified that she is not pregnant with Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis’ child, despite claims made by NFL news aggregator Dov Kleiman on social media.
In a statement shared on Monday, May 27, Hopkins, 26, denied the rumors, stating, “Reports of Mark Davis being the father of my child are wildly untrue. I was pictured sitting next to him at a game in 2022 and have endured false rumors of a romantic relationship since.”
She shared, "I was simply a guest in the owner's box with some friends. The ongoing media coverage is putting a damper on what should be a joyful time for me. Joey and I are looking forward to welcoming our baby in the fall xx."
In a now-deleted post from X, Kleiman stated that the dancer and Davis, 69, were expecting a child following photos of them together.
The blogger mistakenly mentioned that Hayden Hopkins, the 26-year-old girlfriend of #Raiders owner Mark Davis (70), is pregnant and congratulated the couple.
Hopkins recently announced her pregnancy on Instagram without revealing the father of her unborn child. She shared a photo of her baby bump on the beach with the caption "Baby."

Some fans believe that the baby is not owned by the Raiders' owners. One user commented, "Real ones know this isn’t the raiders owners baby," while another fan added, "The Heir to The Raiders Throne!"
The dating speculations started in 2022 when Hopkins was spotted sitting beside Davis in his luxury box during the Raiders’ match against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Hopkins posted a picture on her Instagram Story from her seat at the game, as reported by The U.S. Sun.
In the caption, she referred to MD as a legend and mentioned that he is her neighbor and friend. She also commented that the game was fun.
Hopkins, originally from Seattle, has lived in Vegas since 2017 when she took on the role of La Belle in Treasure Island’s Cirque Du Soleil’s Mystere. Since being spotted with Davis, she has steadily increased her Instagram following to over 200,000 followers.
She won national dance titles and lived in New York City while getting a dance degree. Hopkins appeared on the covers of Dance Spirit and Dance Informa magazines. She danced with Jason Derulo and was on Good Morning America.
On the other hand, Davis does not have kids. He also owns the Las Vegas Aces of the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA).
