There’s more clarity surrounding Hayden Hopkins’ pregnancy.
And the father is still someone involved in sports, just not Raiders owner Mark Davis.
After Hopkins shut down rumors and an erroneous report that she was having a baby with Davis, TMZ reported Tuesday that the dancer and choreographer is actually having a child with Nationals slugger Joey Gallo.
According to the outlet, Hopkins and Gallo, the ex-Yankee, planned to have the child together.
The revelation came after an eventful Monday in which a rumor circulated on social media, shared by NFL aggregator Dov Kleinman, that Hopkins, 26, was having a baby with Davis, 69.
Hopkins had announced her pregnancy on Instagram on April 25.
“Congrats! 26-year-old Hayden Hopkins, girlfriend of Raiders owner Mark Davis (70), is pregnant,” Kleiman wrote in a since-deleted post on X on Monday, getting Davis’ age wrong. “Happy for the power couple.”
During WWE’s “Raw” on Monday, color commentator Pat McAfee even chimed in about the rumor while talking about the match between JD McDonagh and Braun Strowman.
“A lot of people look at the size difference and think JD has no chance. Mark Davis is 70 years old and is expecting a child with a 26-year-old. Anything is possible in this modern world!” McAfee said.
Hopkins, who once sat next to Davis at a December 2022 Raiders game and brushed aside any notion that the two were romantically linked then, took to social media after the newest Davis rumor went wild.
“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 rumors 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.”
McAfee, for his part, apologized on his own show Tuesday after Hopkins dispelled the rumors.
“I apologize for perpetuating a lie,” McAfee said on his eponymous program that airs on ESPN.
“I understand how happy you guys should be at this moment. It would suck to have a 70-year-old billionaire looming over it. So I’d like to apologize to Hayden and let the world know, hey, we gotta make sure we get these things right. I spread lies in the middle of the Braun Strowman-JD McDonagh match last night. Mark Davis is not the father.”
It’s unclear how long Hopkins and Gallo, the MLB slugger with 202 homers in his career, have been together.
