A nearly two-and-a-half-year legal battle involving Jerry Jones has finally come to an end as he has reached a settlement with a woman who says she is his biological daughter.

In March 2022, Alexandra Davis sued Jones in Dallas County, asking a judge to void a legal agreement she said her mother reached with Jones two years after she was born.

That agreement allegedly said Jones would support them financially as long as they did not publicly say he was Davis' father - Jones had filed a countersuit, citing a breach of contract.

Jones agreed to drop his countersuit if the women dismissed pending lawsuits against him, including one where the Dallas Cowboys owner was ordered to take a DNA test, according to media reports.

As part of Tuesday’s agreement, the 1998 settlement will remain in effect.

"It was resolved. It was unfortunate," Jones said, per the Star-Telegram. "It was sensitive to me and my family… It was resolved. I certainly am where I want to be."

"I regret that it came to this, and I’m glad that it is resolved to everyone’s satisfaction," he also said, via NBC Dallas-Fort Worth.
