Where are Cynthia Davis and Alex Davis Now?

In March 2022, Alexandra “Alex” Davis filed a lawsuit against Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. According to the documents submitted by Alex, Cynthia and he had apparently been in a relationship in the mid-1990s, leading to Alex’s conception.

At the time of the alleged relationship, they both were married to other people. While Cynthia was estranged from her husband, Jerry had been married to Eugenia Jones for almost 30 years.

In April 2022, she dropped the lawsuit and decided to go ahead with DNA and parentage testing.
