Report: Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones Paid Millions to Woman Who Filed Paternity Suit

In early March, 25-year-old Alexandra Davis filed a paternity lawsuit against Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, claiming that Jones is her biological father and alleging that he paid her mother hundreds of thousands of dollars in 1996 to keep the information confidential.

Earlier this week, Jones and his legal team requested a dismissal of the civil suit after alleging that Davis attempted to extort him for money prior to filing the lawsuit.

Now, in a new report from ESPN’s Don Van Natta Jr. released Thursday, it was revealed that Jones has paid nearly $3 million to Davis, which included her full college tuition to SMU and a $70,000 Range Rover that Jones purchased on the plaintiff’s 16th birthday.
