The owner of the Dallas Cowboys has been accused of paternity by a 25-year-old woman claiming to be her biological father, who connected her family to the mystery after he allegedly stalked her mother.
Alexandra Davis, who lives in Washington, D.C., filed a lawsuit last week against 79-year-old billionaire Jerry Jones, alleging that he paid her and her mother, Cynthia Davis Spencer, $375,000 to keep quiet about their relationship, which began in 1995. The Dallas Morning News reported.
According to the lawsuit, Davis was bound by a confidentiality agreement signed by her mother, a former American Airlines ticket salesman, when she was only one year old, which established two mother-daughter trusts for as long as they kept Jones’ name. . paternity is a mystery.
Davis, who works as an aide to US Rep. Ronnie Jackson, “lived her fatherless life in secret and in fear that if she told anyone who her father was, she and her mother would lose financial support or worse.” says in the lawsuit.
She asked the court to release her from a confidential agreement that her mother agreed to when she was a child, and to be legally recognized as the daughter of Jones, whose net worth is estimated at $10.7 billion.
The Dallas Morning News reported that Davis Spencer and her daughter were “Cindy and Alex,” the cast members of the third season of the Dallas reality show Big Rich Texas. The duo were newcomers in the final season, where Davis Spencer was listed as a single mother “living off a trust fund”.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has filed a paternity suit against Alexandra Davis, 25, who claims the 79-year-old billionaire is her father, who paid her and her mother to keep quiet.

Davis (right, pictured with her mother on a 2013 reality show) asked the court to release her from a confidential agreement her mother agreed to when she was a child and legally recognize her as Jones’ daughter.
Davis Spencer was working at the American Airlines ticket counter in Little Rock, Arkansas when Jones allegedly courted her. The paternity suit alleges that he avoided family after Davis was born on December 16, 1996.
Jones of Dallas, Texas is married to Eugenia Jones, 75, over 59, and they have three children: Steven, 57, Jerry Jr., 52, and Charlotte Jones Anderson, 55.
Jim Wilkinson, a spokesman for Jones, and attorney Andrew Bergman declined to comment on the lawsuit.
The lawsuit alleges that Jones began courting Davis Spencer in 1995 when she was working at an American Airlines ticket counter in Little Rock, Arkansas, just as she was divorcing her husband.
It goes on to say that Jones “ditched and avoided” Davis after she was born in Little Rock on December 16, 1996.
“The cumulative effect of the aforementioned agreements and Cynthia’s divorce proceedings resulted in [Davis] never have a legal father,” the lawsuit says.
“Defendant Jones’ only role in the plaintiff’s life to date, other than shunning her, has been to make her never reveal his identity.”
A DNA test between Davis and ex-husband Davis Spencer showed that he was not the legal father and should not have paid child support, the lawsuit alleges.
Davis claims that as soon as Jones learned that Davis Spencer was going to be a single mother, he negotiated a “hush money” agreement.
Jones has been married to Eugenia (left) for over 59 years.
The couple is pictured at the 11th annual NFL Honors with their family.
Jones allegedly agreed to “provide, by indirect means and with a hidden identity, continued financial support to Cynthia and Claimant for as long as Cynthia remained silent on the fact that he was [Davis’] father,” the lawsuit says.
“If Cynthia had failed to maintain such silence, the support would have ended at the discretion of Defendant Jones, and Cynthia would presumably have broken the deal.”
The settlement, according to the lawsuit, also included monthly and annual payments to Davis until she was 21, with additional payments set at the time she turned 24, 26 and 28.
According to the lawsuit, Davis grew up in Dallas and graduated from Southern Methodist University. The lawsuit also mentions Davis Spencer’s health problems, but does not provide specific details.
The lawsuit against Jones was placed in the Dallas County courts earlier this week but was temporarily closed the following day pending a March 31 hearing.
