A judge has ordered Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to take a paternity test as part of a legal dispute with a woman who claims the billionaire is her biological father.
A Texas judge issued the order for genetic testing Thursday in a paternity case brought by Alexandra Davis, who previously alleged in a separate lawsuit she was conceived from a relationship Jones had with her mother in the mid-1990s.
Attorneys for Jones did not immediately respond to requests for comment Friday but said in court filings that they intend to appeal the decision. One of Davis' lawyers, Andrew Bergman, confirmed the decision but did not immediately offer any other comment. In March, Davis sued Jones in Dallas County, asking a judge to void a legal agreement she said her mother, Cynthia Davis, reached with Jones two years after she was born. The 1998 settlement allegedly said that Jones would support them financially as long as they didn't publicly say he was Alexandra's father -- something the married owner of the Cowboys denied.
The 80-year-old Jones and his wife, Gene, were married in 1963. They have three children, and all have front office roles with the Cowboys. Jerry Jones is the team president and general manager.
