Dancer, 26, responds to baby rumour with 69yo billionaire

Hayden Hopkins has responded to viral rumours she is pregnant with the child of 69-year-old billionaire NFL owner Mark Davis.

Oops. Dov Kleiman was wrong, again.

Kleiman, a much-derided NFL news aggregator on X, posted on Monday night that billionaire Las Vegas Raiders’ owner, Mark Davis, and dancer and choreographer Hayden Hopkins are expecting a child together after much internet chatter.

Dov Kleiman wrote on X that Mark Davis and Hayden Hopkins were expecting a baby together.

Hopkins has more than 200,000 followers on Instagram.

Except it wasn’t true.

Hopkins quickly dispelled the rumour, and Kleiman subsequently deleted his post on X.

“Reports of Mark Davis being the father of my child are wildly untrue,” Hopkins wrote on X. “I was pictured sitting next to him at a game in 2022 and have endured false rumours of a romantic relationship since. I was just a guest sitting in the owner’s box with other friends.

“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.”

Hopkins said she was happily pregnant with a man she named as "Joey".

Hopkins announced her pregnancy four weeks ago on her Instagram, which sparked plenty of comments about the baby potentially being Davis’.

Hopkins has performed for Cirque Du Soleil, and in 2022 shot down rumours that she was dating Davis after the two were pictured together.

“Haha MD [Mark Davis] is a legend! He’s my neighbour/friend. Fun game,” Hopkins wrote on Instagram in 2022.

She was spotted sitting next to Davis in his suite during a Raiders-Chargers game on Dec. 4, 2022, and rumours then surfaced that the two were involved romantically.

Davis is 69 years old and Hopkins is 26, which sparked much of the intrigue.

“Congrats! 26-year-old Hayden Hopkins, girlfriend of Raiders owner Mark Davis (70), is pregnant,” Kleiman wrote on X on Monday. “Happy for the power couple.”

Hopkins announced her pregnancy four weeks ago on her Instagram.

Hopkins posted this statement to social media.

Yes, Kleiman even got Davis’ age wrong.

Kleiman did not issue a retraction nor a clarification as of Monday night — he just deleted his post.

He works for BroBible, a sports blog founded in 2009, and is in his early 30s and lives in Israel.

He’s received ample blowback for taking reporters’ reports out of context and reproducing them for social media engagement.
