Jerry Jones has found his name in the highlights yet again, and this time, it’s not about his colossal business empire or football team. Instead, it’s about a lawsuit he faces from his alleged daughter, Alexandra Davis, a 27-year-old from Texas. The lawsuit was initially filed about two years ago, and now, Davis has Jerry Jones cornered, and it’s getting serious by the second.

Jones met Alexandra’s mother, Cynthia Davis, back in 1995. Their rumored relationship led to Alexandra’s birth. Jerry Jones and Cynthia allegedly agreed that the mother would not be vocal about their relationship, and in return, Jones set up a trust fund for both. However, more information has surfaced since then.

Per public information, Alexandra Davis is a congressional aide. She grew up in North Texas, and the mother-daughter duo appeared in the third season of the Dallas reality TV show Big Rich Texas. They were labeled as “living off a trust fund” on the show. But now, the daughter chose to step out of the shadows and make this matter public.

Davis lives in Washington DC and told a couple of sources that Jones offered about $375,000 to her mother to keep hush about the ordeal. Initially, Alexandra asked the court of law to be freed from the shackles of being quiet and let Jerry Jones acknowledge her as his daughter.

“Fatherless and in secret and in fear that if she should tell anyone who her father was, she and her mother would lose financial support, or worse,” said Alexandria Davis in a comment.

Per ESPN, it was pointed out that Jones paid about $3 million to the woman, a full tuition fee to attend SMU, and a $70k Range Rover that was gifted to Alexandra on her birthday.

“On numerous occasions, I have made payments on behalf of Mr. Jones to Cindy and Alex Davis,” said Jones’ lawyer, Don Jack, in a statement.

Recent developments in the case

Per recent developments, the congressional aide has reached the court to get Jerry Jones to take a DNA test to prove his paternity. The original case to void the agreement between Jones and Cynthia was put to rest when Alexandra decided that she would instead seek to prove that Jerry Jones was her father.

“Alexandra has just decided that she wants to go ahead and proceed with parentage and DNA testing,” said Jay Gray, one of Alexandra’s lawyers, and added, “She wants to remove any doubts that Jerry’s her father.”

If the verdict is ruled in Davis’ favor, she can legally put the name “Jones” on her birth certificate. Earlier, Jones’ lawyer called Alexandra out by saying she was trying to defame Jerry Jones. The attorneys pointed out that Davis wanted a $20 million settlement from Jones and that these were Alexandra’s efforts to extort money from the Dallas Cowboys’ owner.
