A judge has ordered Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to take a paternity test as part of a legal dispute with a 26-year-old woman who claims the billionaire is her biological father.
A Texas judge issued the order for genetic testing Thursday in a paternity case brought by Alexandra Davis, whoshe was conceived from a relationship Jones had with her mother in the mid-1990s.
One of Davis' lawyers, Andrew Bergman, confirmed the decision, but did not immediately offer any other comment. In March, Davis sued Jones in Dallas County, asking a judge to void a legal agreement she said her mother, Cynthia Davis, reached with Jones two years after she was born. The 1998 settlement allegedly said that Jones would support them financially as long as they didn't publicly say he was Alexandra's father — something the married owner of the Cowboys denied.
On Thursday, Associate Judge T. Jones Abendroth wrote that"after careful consideration" she would grant Davis' motion to have Jones undergo genetic testing. Davis' original lawsuit claimed that Jones"pursued" Cynthia Davis, who was also married at the time, after they met while she was working for American Airlines out of Little Rock, Arkansas.
