Jerry Jones and Alexandra Davis Reach Settlement

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Alexandra Davis, a woman claiming he is her biological father, have reached a settlement that ends ongoing legal disputes, including Jones's countersuit alleging breach of a 1998 confidentiality agreement. The resolution came abruptly during the second day of a trial in Texarkana, where Jones had been contesting a defamation lawsuit brought by Davis. Under the terms of the agreement, Jones will not be required to take a paternity test, and Davis has agreed to dismiss all pending lawsuits against him. Jones has claimed to have financially supported Davis and her mother for many years, amounting to approximately $3.2 million, and maintains that a previous agreement prohibits any legal claims regarding paternity. Both parties expressed relief at the conclusion of the case, allowing Jones to focus on his upcoming football commitments. The details of the settlement remain undisclosed, but it reinforces the confidentiality terms established in the earlier agreement.
