Dallas Cowboys’ Season-Opening Press Conference Delayed as Owner and GM Jerry Jones Testifies in Paternity Counter Lawsuit

The Dallas Cowboys’ first press conference of training camp has been postponed due to team owner and general manager Jerry Jones’ involvement in a legal battle with a 27-year-old woman who claims to be his biological child.

Alexandra Davis filed a paternity lawsuit against the billionaire in 2022, and although her lawsuit and subsequent defamation lawsuit have been dropped, her attorneys are considering an appeal. However, before that can happen, a decision needs to be reached on Jones’ countersuit.

Jones has denied fathering Davis, and the two parties are currently engaged in a legal dispute. The Cowboys are returning to Oxnard, California for training camp, marking the 18th consecutive year that they’ve prepared for the season along the Pacific.

Davis initially sued Jones in 2022 to be recognized as his biological daughter. In February, Jones was ordered to take a paternity test, but the results of that test have not been revealed.

Davis alleges that she was conceived as the result of a relationship between Jones and her mother, Cynthia Davis, in the mid-1990s. Court documents say that Jones and Cynthia Davis reached a settlement in which he agreed to support them financially as long as they didn’t publicly identify him as Alexandra’s father.

The suit filed by Alexandra on March 3, 2022, sought to have a court declare that she wasn’t bound by that agreement. Later, she dropped that suit – instead pursuing a way to legally prove that Jones is her father through testing.

A ruling by another judge previously compelled Jones to be subject to a genetic test, but Jones’ lawyers appealed. The ruling on February 19 is the result of that appeal.

During that hearing, three attorneys representing the Cowboys owner argued that a man who was married to Cynthia when Alexandra was born was her presumed father. Davis’ attorneys said that wasn’t true, producing court documents from Arkansas stating in ‘plain and apparent words’ that the man who was married to Cynthia at the time wasn’t her father.

Hays argued that because Alexandra Davis doesn’t have a presumed father, Jones must either admit paternity or agree to a test.
