In 2022, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was sued — Alexandra Davis alleged she was his daughter. The lawsuit was later dropped when Davis instead sought testing to prove paternity and establish Jones as her legal parent.
Alexandra Davis claims that the billionaire owner of the Cowboys paid her mother, Cynthia Davis, $375,000 to stay quiet about their relationship. Davis also filed a defamation lawsuit against Jones and two other men, saying they “initiated a deliberate plan” to portray the billionaire’s “own daughter … as an ‘extortionist’ and a ‘shakedown artist’ whose motivation was money and greed.”
The news opened questions into Jones’ family tree. How many kids does Jones have in total, and what have they gone on to do?
Jerry Jones’ Family
Jones was born in Los Angeles, California, to John “Pat” and Armenita Jones. The family moved back to North Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1945 where he grew up.
Jerry’s wife, Eugenia, was born in 1944 and is 70 years old. She and Jerry married in 1963. Eugenia attended the University of Arkansas and is a former Miss Arkansas.
Eugenia is a member of the Texas Cultural Trust Board and is on the board of directors of AT&T’s Center for the Performing Arts. She is also a co-chairperson of the Meadows School of the Arts.
“Gene” Jones, who’s been referred to as the “Mother of the Dallas Cowboys,” is often seen around Dallas at various events, but has remained fairly private when it comes to her personal life.
Jerry Jones was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017 and chose his wife to be his presenter at the event.

The Cowboys owner, president, and general manager announced the decision in a press release that stated his wife is the “backbone of our family… Her influence guides and inspires all of us. She is my closest advisor, my best friend, and it is only fitting that she present me.”
