Joey Gallo of the Washington Nationals is going to be a father.
Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis is not.
TMZ Sports reported Gallo and Hayden Hopkins are expecting a child. The reveal follows "erroneous reports" that said Hopkins was having a child with Davis, who she was seen sitting by during a Raiders game in 2022.
Hopkins took to social media and said, "Reports of Mark Davis being the father of my child are wildly untrue. … These continued media stories are negatively affecting what should be my happiest days. Joey and I are excited to welcome our baby in the fall."

She also explained she was simply a guest with friends when she was sitting in the owner's box.
TMZ noted she was also visiting Davis' suite in part because of her work with the Raiders' dance squad and long-standing relationships with people in the organization.
As for Gallo, he has been in the major leagues since 2015 with stops on the Texas Rangers, New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, Minnesota Twins and Nationals. Washington signed him to a one-year deal ahead of the 2024 campaign, and he has appeared in 33 games this year.
