In a jaw-dropping twist, it has been revealed that the real father of Hayden Hopkins’ baby is not Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis, but MLB star Joey Gallo. This revelation comes after a whirlwind of erroneous reports and rampant speculation over the weekend.
The drama began when several NFL social media accounts falsely claimed that Hopkins, who was spotted alongside Davis at a Raiders game in 2022, was pregnant with his child. This sparked a frenzy among football fans, who assumed that the blonde beauty was romantically involved with the team owner.
However, TMZ Sports revealed that the 26-year-old dancer and choreographer is actually expecting a child with Gallo, a current member of the Washington Nationals.
Hayden’s real relationship with Davis
Contrary to the baseless rumors, Hopkins and Davis have only had cordial interactions, and her presence in the owner’s suite was due to her professional involvement with the Raiderettes dance squad and her communications with the team’s players and coaches.
Hopkins addressed the misinformation on Instagram, saying, “Joey and I are excited to welcome our baby in the fall.” Although she didn’t reveal the father’s full name, the dancer expressed her frustration over the false reports, stating, “Reports of Mark Davis being the father of my child are wildly untrue.”
The dancer set the record straight by saying, “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.”
Her pregnancy has been affected by rumors
The mix-up has caused significant distress for Hopkins during what should be a joyous time in her life. She lamented the negative impact of the rumors, saying, “These continued media stories are negatively affecting what should be my happiest days.”
Gallo, who planned the pregnancy with Hopkins, has remained silent on the matter, but the couple is looking forward to welcoming their baby in the fall. The story serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of spreading unverified information, as it has cast a shadow over a special moment for the expecting parents.
