Jerry Jones must take a paternity test amid the ongoing legal dispute with 27-year-old Alexandria Davis. A judge ordered Jones to take a paternity test after rejecting an appeal from Jones in relation to Davis’ 2022 lawsuit. Jones has long denied that Davis is his daughter. She alleges that Jones “pursued” her mother in the mid and late 90s and that he agreed to support them if they did not reveal Davis’ lineage.
Jones has been married to his wife since 1963. All three of their children hold senior positions within the Cowboys front office. However, court documents appear to show that Jones had paid “millions of dollars” to Davis throughout her life. The original settlement between Jones and Davis allegedly called for Jones to pay Davis’ mother $375,000. Furthermore, Davis would receive a “certain monthly, annual and special funding” from a trust until she was 21. She would receive further lump sum payments when she turned 24, 26 and 28.

Is Jerry Jones Eyeing Bill Belichick For 2025?
Meanwhile, comments made by Jerry Jones this week might indicate that his future plans for the Cowboys may include Bill Belichick. “I know him personally and I like him. There’s no doubt in my mind we could work together. None,” Jones told Yahoo of his relationship with Belichick. While the Cowboys retained Mike McCarthy for the 2024 season, reports indicate that McCarthy will coach on an expiring contract. This is a common tactic used by Jones, making his coaches earn an extension from a do-or-die year.
McCarthy has coached the Cowboys to a trio of 12-5 seasons but just one playoff win in that same span. In his announcement stating his intent to keep McCarthy on through the end of his contract, Jones cited the former Packers coach’s history of success. However, could Jones’ latest comments mean that he is already looking toward the future? However, Jones did note that Belichick was not the sole piece missing from the Cowboys’ title drought.
