In a twist that could only come from the world of celebrity sports drama, rumors are swirling around Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis and his much younger "girlfriend", Hayden Hopkins. Is Davis, nearing 70, about to become a dad?

Hayden Hopkins, a 26-year-old dancer and choreographer, took to Instagram to announce her pregnancy, sparking a frenzy of speculation. With a significant age gap between the Raiders' owner and Hopkins, this storyline has all the makings of a summer blockbuster, just in time to get us through the off-season lull.

For those with a short memory, Hopkins and Davis became a hot topic last year when she was seen in his suite during a Raiders game. The sighting quickly went viral, igniting rumors of a romantic relationship between the two. But just when the story seemed to be getting juicier, Hopkins dropped a bombshell.

Hayden says Mark Davis is not the dad

On Sunday night, Hopkins set the record straight on social media. She addressed the swirling rumors and clarified her relationship with Davis. "Reports of Mark Davis being the father of my child are wildly untrue," she wrote on her Instagram story. "I was pictured sitting next to him at a game in 2022 and have endured false rumors of a romantic relationship since. I was just a guest sitting in the owner's box with other friends."

"These continued media stories are negatively affecting what should be my happiest days. Joey and I are excited to welcome our baby in the fall xx."

So, there you have it. The 70-year-old Mark Davis will not be having his first child anytime soon, contrary to popular belief. It turns out this Raiders' tale is nothing more than a classic case of mistaken identity and overzealous speculation.
