Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones gave millions to woman who filed paternity lawsuit, lawyer says

Jerry Jones has paid nearly $3 million to the woman who says she is his biological daughter, including her full tuition at SMU and a $70,000 Range Rover on her 16th birthday, and to her mother, according to the Little Rock, Arkansas, lawyer who delivered the payments on behalf of the Dallas Cowboys owner.

Lawyer Don Jack told ESPN that he made regular payments on Jones' behalf to Alexandra Davis, the 25-year-old Congressional aide who filed a paternity lawsuit against Jones on March 3, and her mother, Cynthia Spencer Davis, whom Jones met in 1995 when she was a ticket counter agent for American Airlines in Arkansas.

«On numerous occasions I have made payments on behalf of Mr. Jones to Cindy and Alex Davis,» Jack said in a statement. A longtime friend of Jones, Jack said he struck an agreement on Jones' behalf with Spencer Davis in 1995, paying her $375,000 and providing «for monthly payments for child support which ultimately totaled over $2 million.»

Jones has not acknowledged that Davis is his biological daughter. Asked why he used the term «child support» in his statement, Jack said, «I used the term child support because that's what the agreement calls it.» Asked if the «child support» payments indicate that Jones is Davis' father, Jack paused for five seconds before saying, «I am not going to answer that one. My statement speaks for itself.»

Asked why Jones paid millions to Davis and her mother if Davis was not his daughter, Jones spokesman Jim Wilkinson declined to comment.

Jack and Wilkinson declined to release a copy of the agreement that set up two trusts that have paid Davis and her mother more than $1.3 million over the past 25 years. Two additional lump sum payments are due to Davis when she turns 26 years
