Jerry Jones ‘ordered to take paternity test’ to determine if he is the biological father of Alexandra Davis, 27 – who claims to be the Dallas Cowboy owner’s daughter

A Dallas County judge upheld a decision that forced Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to take a paternity test to determine whether or not he is the biological father of a 27-year-old woman.

That woman, Alexandra Davis, sued Jones in 2022, claiming the sports team owner was her father.

Judge Sandra Jackson issued the order after a hearing on Feb. 19, but documents showing that decision were not revealed until Wednesday by the Dallas Morning News.

Davis’ attorney, Kris Hayes, called the ruling a “huge victory,” adding, “Alex is in a position where she really no longer has to hide her truth or live under the thumb of fear and maybe they finally get some rest. and we hope that other families will have the same benefit if the judge follows the law.

She claims she was conceived in the mid-1990s as a result of a relationship between Jones and her mother, Cynthia Davis.

Alexandra Davis, 27, first sued Jones in 2022 to be recognized as his biological daughter

Jones’ lawyers appealed a decision that forced him to take the test, but lost the appeal

Court documents show that Jones and Cynthia Davis reached a settlement in which he agreed to support them financially as long as they did not publicly identify him as Alexandra’s father.

The lawsuit filed by Alexandra on March 3, 2022 sought to have a court declare that she was not bound by that agreement. She later dropped that lawsuit – instead looking for a way to legally prove that Jones is her father through tests.

A ruling by another judge previously forced Jones to undergo genetic testing, but Jones’ lawyers appealed. The ruling of 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 this was not true and submitted court documents from Arkansas stating in “clear and unambiguous terms” that the man married to Cynthia at the time was not her father. Cynthia and that man have since broken up.

Hayes argued that because Alexandra Davis has no putative father, Jones must either admit paternity or agree to a test.

Jones and Davis are also parties to another legal matter in a U.S. district court, when Davis sued him for defamation in March 2023. That lawsuit was both dismissed and refiled in the fall.
