Mark Davis, businessman and the controlling owner of the NFL’s team, the Las Vegas Raiders, is already 69 years old but has never been married and has a wife.
It’s not that Mark never wanted to have a family of his own. He was hoping for his marriage to happen in his life even after he turned 60.
While having an exclusive talk with ESPN in 2014, he had said,
I’ll go back to drinking if we win the Super Bowl or I get married. The first one will be because I’ll want to, the second because I’ll have to.

Unfortunately, his wish remained unfulfilled. However, many thought that Mark Davis’ bachelorhood ended after he sparked a relationship rumor with the famous Cirque du Soleil dancer Hayden Hopkins after they appeared sitting next to each other in an NFL game in December 2022.
On April 26, 2024, Hayden announced her pregnancy news via her Instagram, and several online portals started reporting that Hayden was pregnant with Mark’s child.
But, in reality, Mark and Hayden never had a romantic connection, and neither were they going to welcome a child together. The dancer debunked all the rumors, sharing a post on her Twitter that read,
Reports of Mark Davis being the father of my child are wildly untrue. I was pictured sitting next to him at a game in 2022 and have endured false rumors of a romantic relationship since.

Further, she also clarified that the father of her child is not the Raiders owner, Mark, but her partner, Joey.
Mark Davis spent his life taking care of his mother, Carol, and his father, AI Davis’ business after he passed away!
It was his father, Allen Davis, who was the actual owner of the Los Angeles Raiders. After he passed away on October 8, 2011, Mark Davis and his mother, Carol, inherited the ownership.
Since Carol is already in her 90s, Mark manages everything concerning the Raiders team, and it is no wonder that he is responsible for taking care of his mother as well, who needs a wheelchair to assist her in moving.

The mother-son duo was last spotted at the Las Vegas Raiders VIP opening watch party in 2020.
During the celebration, Mark adoringly introduced his mom as ‘The First Lady of Raider Nation,’ Las Vegas Review-Journal reports. It appears like his family and business are all he has always had.
That said, it doesn’t mean Mark Davis has never been in a relationship. He may have, most probably in his youth, but it’s just that Mark Davis never made it to marriage.
