Hayden Hopkins shut down rumors that she is pregnant with the baby of Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis.
The professional dancer, 26, called reports claiming that Davis, 69, is the father of her child “wildly untrue” in a statement shared to her Instagram Story on Monday.
“I was pictured sitting next to him at a game in 2022 and have endured false rumors of a romantic relationship since,” she said, explaining, “I was just a guest sitting in the owner’s box with other friends.”
Hopkins added that the “continued media stories” about the fabricated gossip are “negatively affecting what should be [her] happiest days.”
She ended her message by saying that she and the actual father of her child are looking forward to becoming parents.
“Joey and I are excited to welcome our baby in the Fall,” she said.
Hopkins announced in April that she was pregnant and expecting her first child with a photo of her growing baby bump.
“baby,” she simply captioned the black-and-white snap in which she flaunted her belly in a white bra and skirt while posing on the beach.
However, the comments section of her post was inundated with social media users claiming she was pregnant with the billionaire’s child.
“The Heir to The Raiders Throne!” one person commented on the post.
“future Raiders owner incoming,” a second person wrote.
“Congrats on becoming one of the richest women ever in a few years!” another troll said.
Others defended the Cirque Du Soleil star and blasted the netizens for spreading false rumors.
“Real ones know this isn’t the raiders owners baby,” a defender said.
Hopkins did not confirm the identity of her baby’s father outside of writing “Joey” in her statement. Page Six has reached out for comment.
Rumors swirled that Hopkins was dating the NFL exec after she was photographed sitting next to him at a Raiders game in December 2022.
However, she clarified at the time that Davis, who has a reported net worth of $2.3 billion, was just her “neighbor/friend.”
Relationship rumors re-emerged Monday when BroBible sports commentator Dov Kleiman wrote on X that Davis was having a baby with the dance pro.
“Congrats! 26-year-old Hayden Hopkins, girlfriend of Raiders owner Mark Davis (70), is pregnant,” Kleiman wrote on X on Monday, citing the wrong age for Davis. “Happy for the power couple.”
Kleiman quickly deleted the tweet and has yet to issue a retraction.
