Hayden Hopkin is speaking out about the rumors circulating about who the father of her unborn child is.
Over the holiday weekend, various media outlets reported that Hopkins was pregnant with Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis’ baby. The rumor was started by NFL blogger Dov Kleiman, who posted a since-deleted report on X (formerly known as Twitter) that she was pregnant. It was then speculated that Davis was the father.
“Congrats! 26-year-old Hayden Hopkins, girlfriend of #Raiders owner Mark Davis (70), is pregnant. Happy for the power couple,” the original post read (Davis is notably 69 years old).
However, the former Cirque du Soleil dancer cleared the air and denied that the 69-year-old is her baby’s father. “Reports of Mark Davis being the father of my child are wildly untrue,” she stated.
Revealing how she was connected to Davis in the first place, Hopkins wrote, “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.”
Hayden Hopkins then called out the media for the false reporting. “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.”
Hopkins announced her pregnancy last month. She did not reveal who the father is, other them his name is Joey. She appeared next to Davis in his owner box during the Raiders game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Dec. 2022. The picture is still featured in her 2022 Instagram Story highlights on her account.
Kleinman has yet to write a retraction for the claim. He previously worked for Brobible before departing from the media outlet in Nov. 2023.
Pat McAfee Apologizes For Claiming Mark Davis Got Hayden Hopkins Pregnant on ‘WWE Raw’
Without realizing that the news was just a rumor, Pat McAfee publicly claimed that Mark Davis got Hayden Hopkins pregnant during WWE Raw on Monday, May 27.
During a match between Braun Strowman and JD McDonagh, McAfee confidently declared, “A lot of people look at this size difference and think J.D. has no chance. Mark Davis is 70-years-old and is expecting a child with a 26-year-old. Anything is possible in this modern world!”
During the latest episode of his show, McAfee issued an apology. “I apologize for perpetuating a lie,” he said. “I understand how happy you guys should be at this moment. It would suck to have a 70-year-old billionaire kind of looming over the entire — so I would like to apologize to Hayden and let the world know, hey, we’ve gotta get these things right.”
He continued by adding, “We’re obviously a part of this. I spread lies in the middle of a Braun Strowman-JD McDonagh match last night. Mark Davis is not the father. But we would like to congratulate Joey and Hayden Hopkins on a beautiful baby coming this fall. Congrats on doing it. It’s bulls—.”
