Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones has been ordered to take a paternity test as part of an ongoing lawsuit from 27-year-old Alexandra Davis, who claims that Jones is her biological father.
The decision was handed down by Judge Sandra Jackson. Davis first filed a lawsuit against Jones in 2022 to be recognized as Jones' daughter.
Davis' attorney Kris Hayes told the Dallas Morning News this is a "huge victory" for Davis and other families.
Hayes said, "Alex is in a position where she really no longer has to hide her truth or live under the thumb of fear and maybe she's going to finally get some peace and we hope other families will have that same benefit from the judge following the law."
In the lawsuit filed March 3, 2022, Davis alleged that she was conceived when Jones and her mother had a relationship in the mid-1990s.
According to court documents, Jones and Davis' mother reached a settlement in which Jones agreed to financially support them so long as they didn't publicly identify Jones as Alexandra Davis' father.
The lawsuit stated that Davis wasn't bound by that agreement, but she later dropped that lawsuit and instead sought testing to prove Jones is her father.
An attorney representing Jones could not be reached for comment.
