Cirque du Soleil dancer Hayden Hopkins, 26, says Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis, 69, is NOT the father of her baby as she slams ‘wildly untrue’ rumors
Cirque du Soleil dancer Hayden Hopkins has dismissed the Las Vegas rumors on social media Raiders owner Mark Davis is the father of her unborn child.
Hopkins, 26, was seen on camera sitting next to Davis, 69, in the VIP section of an NFL game at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas in December 2022, sparking romance rumors.
The artist posted a photo from her seat at the time, but later said she was just friends with Davis and nothing more.
But on Sunday night, Hopkins lashed out at those who continue to fuel romance rumors, accusing them of ruining the happiest time of her life.
Hopkins moved to Vegas in 2017 to take a role with Cirque du Soleil at the Treasure Island Hotel
“Reports that Mark Davis is the father of my child are completely untrue,” Hopkins wrote.
‘I was pictured sitting next to him at a match in 2022 and have since faced false rumors of a romantic relationship.
‘I was just a guest sitting in the owner’s box with other friends.
“These constant media stories are negatively impacting what should be my happiest days.
“Joey and I are looking forward to welcoming our baby in the fall xx.”

Davis, left, and Hopkins were also pictured sitting together at a Raiders game in 2023. She said they were just friends, but the rumors persisted.
She previously responded to comments that they were in a romantic relationship.
‘M.D [Mark Davis] is a legend,” she told a social media commenter.
‘He’s my neighbor/friend. Fun game.’
The pair was also spotted last year when the Raiders took on the Green Bay Packers.
On that occasion, David was caught on camera expressing his frustration as Hopkins sat next to him wearing a black Raiders baseball cap.
But such appearances only fueled further speculation that the pair were dating.
“How nice of Mark Davis to take his granddaughter to the game today,” one person wrote.
“Ayo, who is that girl Mark Davis is with??? See you, Mark,” another commented.

Last month, Hopkins posted a black-and-white photo of herself standing on the seashore, with a small pregnancy bump clearly visible.
She simply captioned the photo: “Baby.”
The photo generated a large number of comments suggesting the baby was Davis’s.
“The heir to the Raiders throne!” wrote one poster.
‘Setting up the future of those children and yours. Cha-Ching,” a second added.
“Future Raiders owner coming soon,” a third wrote.
