Cowboys owner Jerry Jones avoids paternity test after striking late deal to end legal battle with 27-year-old woman claiming to be his daughter
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' legal battle with the 27-year-old woman claiming to be his biological daughter came to an abrupt end on Tuesday without the 81-year-old billionaire facing any paternity test.
Alexandra Davis, who first filed a paternity lawsuit against Jones in 2022, agreed to dismiss her pending lawsuits against the Cowboys owner 'with prejudice.' Jones, meanwhile, will drop his countersuit against Davis, which had included a $1.6 million demand to cover attorney fees.
'I will tell you that my defendants here were well-meaning,' Jones told the Texarkana, Texas jury, as quoted by the Dallas Morning News. 'Certainly in the case of the mom. She is a working mom.'
Davis previously claimed in legal filings that she was conceived as the result of an affair between the married Jones and her mother, Cynthia Davis, in the mid-1990s. Cynthia gave tearful testimony on Monday, where the Morning News reported she was actually seen hugging Jones.
It's unclear what changed between the parties to result in Tuesday's sudden ending to the legal drama. Jones' attorney did not elaborate when contacted by DailyMail.com.

'I'm happy this is resolved,' Jones told reporters in Texarkana on Tuesday. 'It's not something that I wanted to happen – or we wanted to happen – but I'm glad we resolved it.'
Jones' countersuit against Davis and her mother accused them of violating an agreement Cynthia reached with the Cowboys owner more than 20 years earlier.
That 1998 deal barred Davis and her daughter from suing Jones or supporting any lawsuit against him that would establish his paternity.
As part of that deal, Jones allegedly paid more than $3 million through trusts for Davis.
DailyMail.com asked Jones' attorney Chip Babcock if his client still denies fathering Davis.
In response, Babcock told DailyMail.com in an email that Jones 'continues to abide by the 1998 agreement and is pleased to have the litigation resolved.'
By dismissing her lawsuits with prejudice, Davis agrees to not sue Jones again in the future.
Cynthia, 62, testified Monday that she and Jones had a romantic relationship when she was working as an American Airlines employee in Little Rock during the 1990s.
The elder Davis said she was 'very desperate' after having Alexandra despite hiring attorneys to represent her in the 1998 settlement.
Cynthia said she would have signed 'anything they put in front of me.'
She said she regretted the agreement because it denied her daughter the chance to have a relationship with her father.
In the end, Jones avoided taking a paternity test and testifying in the case. What's more, his wife, Eugenia, and their children Charlotte, Jerry Jr. and Stephen could have also been called to the stand.
