Cirque du Soleil dancer Hayden Hopkins is having a baby with a Major League Baseball star not from Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis.
Hopkins, 26, has dismissed rumors in recent days that Davis is the father of her unborn child.
Hopkins was spotted on camera sitting next to Davis, 69, in an NFL VIP section during a 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 those rumors are completely false TMZ saying the child belongs to Joey Gallo, a utility man for the Washington Nationals, and was a planned pregnancy, according to the newspaper.
Hopkins lashed out on social media Sunday at those who continue to fuel rumors of a romance between her and the Raiders’ owner, accusing them of ruining the happiest time of her life.

“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 negatively impact what should be my happiest days.
“Joey and I are looking forward to welcoming our baby in the fall xx.”
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, Davis was caught on camera expressing his frustration as Hopkins sat next to him wearing a black Raiders baseball cap.
As TMZ reports, her visit to the owner’s suite is due to her work with the team’s dance crew – the Raiderettes – and long-term communication with players and coaches in the organization.
But despite this, such appearances only led to 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.

‘Setting up the future of those children and yours. Cha-Ching,” a second added.
“Future Raiders owner coming soon,” a third wrote.
