In fact, the two never even dated.
Mark Davis, the American businessman and the owner of the Las Vegas Raiders of the NFL and the Las Vegas Aces of the WNBA, keeps his personal life private, especially his romantic life.
There is little publicly available credible information on whether he is married, dating, or has children.
However, what is known is that despite constant rumors and speculations, he is not dating, nor has he ever dated, dancer, choreographer, and influencer Hayden Hopkins.

The speculations began in December 2022 when Hopkins was seen sitting next to Davis in his private suite during a Raiders game.
This public appearance led to assumptions about a possible romantic relationship between the 69-year-old NFL team owner and the 27-year-old dancer.
The age difference and the high-profile nature of both individuals fueled the narrative despite a lack of concrete evidence.
In May 2024, the rumors intensified when Hopkins announced her pregnancy on social media.
Some media outlets and social media users speculated that Davis was the father of her child.
Addressing these claims, Hopkins stated,
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.
She further clarified that she was merely a guest in the owner’s box alongside other friends and that these continued media stories were negatively affecting what should have been her happiest days.

She had the baby, Capulet Lilac Gallon, in October 2024.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, she wrote,
Capulet Lilac Gallo. Heaven on earth, arrived a few days ago 🤍

Talking about misinformation, many tabloid sites have mentioned that Carol Davis is Mark Davis’s wife. However, this is not true.
Carol Davis (née Sagal) is Mark Davis’s mother and the widow of Al Davis, Mark’s late father, a professional football executive and coach.
Carol is still involved in the family business as a part owner of the Raiders and the Aces.
In conclusion, Mark Davis has never been married, and his alleged relationship with Hayden Hopkins turned out to be only rumors fueled by irresponsible journalism and social media pages making jokes about the stereotypical “rich old man and young attractive girlfriend” trope.
