Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is being sued by a 25-year-old woman in North Texas claiming that he is her biological father.
The Dallas Morning News reported on Wednesday that in a lawsuit filed last week in Dallas County, Alexandra Davis said that she was conceived when Jones had a relationship with her mother, Cynthia Davis, in the mid-90s.

The court documents show that Davis and her mother reached a settlement stating that Jones would support them financially as long as the public didn’t identify him as her father. According to the court documents, a hearing is scheduled for March 31.
Cynthia Davis, who was separated from her husband when she met Jones, was working as a ticket counter agent for American Airlines at the airport in Little Rock, Arkansas, according to the court documents. That’s when Jones “pursued” Davis, and they began to have a relationship, but it’s unclear for how long it lasted, per the documents.

Shortly after Alexandra Davis was born on Dec. 16, 1996, Cynthia divorced her husband. When the couple got divorced, it was determined through DNA testing that Alexandra was not the child of Cynthia’s husband. He didn’t have to pay for child support, and Alexandra did not have a legal father, court documents showed.
Following the test results, Cynthia Davis told Jones that he was Alexandra’s father, the lawsuit states. Jones told Cynthia that he was not able to have any children, the court docs show.
