Cirque du Soleil dancer Hayden Hopkins will have a baby with a Major League Baseball star, not Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis.
Hopkins, 26, has been pushing back against rumors in recent days that Davis He is the father of her unborn child.
Hopkins was seen on camera sitting next to Davis, 69, in the VIP section of an NFL game at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas in December 2022, sparking romance rumors.
At the time, the artist posted a photo from her seat, but later explained that she was simply friends with Davis and nothing more.
But those rumors are completely false – with TMZ saying the child belongs to Joey Gallo, a utility man for the Washington Nationals, in what the outlet reports was a planned pregnancy.
Hopkins took to social media on Sunday to lash out at those who continue to fuel rumors of an affair between her and the Raiders owner, accusing them of ruining what should be the happiest time of her life.

“I was photographed sitting next to him at a game in 2022 and have endured false rumors of a romantic relationship ever since.
‘I was just a guest sitting in the owner’s box with other friends. These continuous stories in the media are negatively affecting what should be my happiest days.
“Joey and I are excited to welcome our baby in the fall xx.”

“The MD (Mark Davis) is a legend,” he told a social media commenter. ‘He is my neighbor/friend. Fun game.’
The couple was also seen last year when the Raiders took on the Green Bay Packers.
On that occasion, Davis was caught on camera expressing his frustration as Hopkins sat next to him wearing a black Raiders baseball cap.
As TMZ reports, his visit to the owners’ suite stems from his work with the team’s dance team, the Raiderettes, as well as his long-standing communications with players and coaches in the organization.
But despite this, such appearances only served to increase speculation that the couple were dating.
“How nice of Mark Davis to take his granddaughter to the game today,” one wrote.
‘Ayo, who is that girl Mark Davis is sitting with? See you, Mark,’ commented another.
The boy’s real father is Washington Nationals utility man Joey Gallo.
