Last year, dancer and choreographer Hayden Hopkins was spotted in the same suite as the Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis. The internet went on a frenzy and rumors came out that both were involved in a romantic relationship. Fast forward a couple of months later, Hopkins announced her pregnancy on Instagram and the news quickly gained traction.

The choreographer took to Instagram around a month ago and uploaded a photo of her on a beach somewhere. She captioned the photo with a single word, “baby.” Even back then people left her comments like, “Life on easy mode,” and “The Heir to The Raiders Throne!” But as it turns out, Hopkins had enough of it and came to clear the air that has been building up for a while.

She took to Instagram and X and posted a note of clarification for everyone to see. Per Hopkins, she bears a child of a man who goes by the name Joey, and not much is known about this person. She dubbed the rumors about Mark Davis being the father of the baby to be “wildly untrue”.

“Reports of Mark Davis being the father of my child are wildly untrue. 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,” wrote the Cirque du Soleil dancer and further clarified, “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 xx,” the statement further read.

However, with the rumor mill hard at work in the past, it seems even folks like Dov Kleiman made quite the wrong predictions.

Why is the media coming so strong with the ‘Mark Davis being the father’ narrative?

One of the reasons behind this is the fact that Davis and Hopkins were spotted sitting next to each other in the game against the Packers and another time in a game against the Los Angeles Chargers. At one point in time, Hopkins said, “Haha MD is a legend! He’s my neighbor/friend,” referring to Mark Davis by his initials. This might be the kind of news that led to people speculating about celebrity relationships.

Notably, Dov Kleiman had shared the news via X on Monday, writing, “Congrats! 26-year-old Hayden Hopkins, girlfriend of Raiders owner Mark Davis (70), is pregnant. Happy for the power couple.” However he was quick to delete the tweet as the ordeal reached Hopkins.

But that doesn’t mean eagle-eyed fans didn’t notice anything. Several people came out in the comments section of the choreographer’s post and called out Kleiman saying, “Sue @NFL_DovKleimanfor defamation,” and “@NFL_DovKleiman ur cooked buddy,”.

Another tweet even read, “Congrats to you! None of us believe anything @NFL_DovKleimansays, don’t worry!”

While the misunderstanding have been weeded out as of now, it remains to be seen when Hayden Hopkins introduces the mysterious Mr. Joey to the world!
