INFLUENCER Hayden Hopkins is reportedly having a child with baseball slugger Joey Gallo — and not Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis.
The 26-year-old Cirque Du Soleil dancer is pregnant with her MLB star boyfriend, per TMZ.

Gallo currently plays for the Washington Nationals and is a two-time All-Star.
The TMZ report adds that the pregnancy was “planned.”
“Joey and I are excited to welcome our baby boy in the fall,” Hopkins wrote on Instagram on Tuesday.
Hopkins was photographed alongside Davis, 69, at an NFL game in November 2022.
She denied rumors of a relationship between the two, confirming that Davis was a “neighbor and friend”.
Following news of her pregnancy earlier this week, Hopkins was again forced to deny that she and Davis were ever in a relationship.
“Reports that Mark Davis is the father of my child are completely false,” the mother-to-be posted on Instagram Stories.
“I was photographed sitting next to him at a game in 2022 and since then I have endured false rumors of a romantic relationship.
“I was just a guest sitting in the owner’s box with other friends.”
ESPN analyst Pat McAfee was forced to apologize on air after making comments about Hopkins’ pregnancy on Monday’s WWE Raw.
“A lot of people look at the size difference and think JD doesn’t have a chance,” McAfee said.
“Mark Davis is 70 years old and expecting a 26-year-old son. Everything is possible in this modern world!”
After Hopkins confirmed that Davis was not the father, McAfee backtracked during his ESPN show on Tuesday.
“I apologize for perpetuating a lie,” the former NFL punter said.
“I understand how happy you should be right now.
Since then, I have endured false rumors of a romantic relationship.

“It would be terrible to have a 70-year-old billionaire hovering over this.
“So I’d like to apologize to Hayden and let the world know, hey, we need to make sure we get these things right.
“I spread lies in the middle of the match between Braun Strowman and JD McDonagh last night – Mark Davis is not the father.”
Hopkins is an award-winning dancer and was in the Las Vegas box in the fall of 2022 due to her work with the team’s Raiderettes.
She moved to New York to open her own dancewear brand, HHxx, after gracing magazine covers at age 19.
Hayden made her Cirque Du Soleil debut in April 2017 after moving to Sin City from the East Coast.
Her baby with two-time Gold Glove winner Gallo is due in the fall.
