Hayden Hopkins has finally responded to the rumors that she's pregnant with Mark Davis’ baby.

Rumors began swirling after the professional dancer shared a black-and-white photo showing her growing baby bump.


The 26-year-old took to social media to release a statement shutting down the gossip surrounding the father of her baby after fans questioned whether she has been intimate with 69-year-old Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis.

It comes after the dancer was pictured next to Davis at a game two years ago, and since then, the star has claimed she's been fighting against these rumors.

"Reports of Mark Davis being the father of my child are wildly untrue," she said in a post published to both X and Instagram on Monday.

She continued: "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," she added.

Have a look at the full statement below:


Taking to Instagram back in April, Hopkins announced that she was expecting her first baby with a black-and-white picture on the beach showing off her baby bump.

Kind messages poured in for the performer, with many congratulating her on the newest chapter in her life.

"Manifested this precious angel... I'm so happy for you, crying!!" wrote one user, while another added: "You’re gonna be the best mom, love you."


However, the post was also riddled with people cracking jokes about the alleged "affair" between her and the Raiders owner.

"I bet your eyes were closed the whole time," this Instagrammer commented, while another user added: "The Heir to The Raiders Throne!"

A third also chimed in writing: "Future Raiders owner incoming."

Those comments have now been shut down by the star herself, as she gets ready to welcome her little one with her partner in the fall.

News of the rumors was re-sparked after BroBible sports commentator Dov Kleiman wrote on X that Davis was having a baby with the 26-year-old.

“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.”

While Kleiman quickly deleted the tweet, he has not yet addressed the statement.

But in an update on Wednesday (May 29), TMZ has reported that the father of Hopkins' unborn child is MLB player and Washington Nationals star Joey Gallo.
