WWE star Nikki Bella ‘casually dating’ Eagles CB Cooper DeJean - Report
Nikki Bella reportedly spotted on dates with the young NFL star.
Nikki Bella and Cooper DeJean have become the latest sports-entertainment crossover story stirring headlines, and according to TMZ, there is indeed “a mutual attraction.”
The outlet reports that the WWE star and the Philadelphia Eagles rookie cornerback have spent time together, gone on dates, and share “mutual attraction,” though Bella remains “very single and enjoying life.”
Rumors first intensified after Bella attended multiple Eagles games, wearing DeJean’s jersey and posing in team-themed outfits as well as in front of DeJean’s locker. Those sightings fueled immediate chatter, especially as DeJean navigates the loudest stretch of his young NFL career.
With Philadelphia pushing for a rare back-to-back Super Bowl run, the rookie has become a central figure on the field and unexpectedly off it.
Is Nikki Bella and Cooper DeJean really dating?
A source told TMZ that while the pair have enjoyed several outings, Bella’s focus remains on her career and raising her son, Matteo. The report underscores that the situation is “casual,” despite speculation from other outlets.
The Daily Mail, for instance, framed Bella as “smitten,” while TMZ urged caution, emphasizing she is still simply enjoying her single life.
This chapter comes in the aftermath of Bella’s highly publicized divorce from Artem Chigvintsev in 2024. She recently said on “The Nikki and Brie Show” that she and Artem are “in a good place” and successfully co-parenting. The attention on her personal life is nothing new, but stepping back into the dating space, no matter how lightly, has still invited scrutiny.
DeJean has faced his own share of curiosity. He quietly ended a long-term relationship with his college sweetheart, Steph Wilfawn, shortly after becoming one of the Eagles’ breakout stars.
His meteoric rise was punctuated by a stunning Super Bowl moment, when he intercepted Patrick Mahomes and returned it for a touchdown in a blowout victory, instantly cementing his status as a Philadelphia folk hero.
Despite the noise, the Eagles’ locker room remains focused on football. DeJean’s responsibility is sharpening his coverage, staying locked in, and helping Philadelphia chase another Lombardi Trophy. Who he spends time with off the field is secondary to what he delivers on it.
For fans, Bella’s Eagles support, including playful trash talk aimed at Detroit Lions fans, adds entertainment to the story. For the team, the stakes are far more serious as playoff pressure peaks.
Are Nikki Bella and Cooper DeJean officially dating?
According to TMZ, the two have gone on dates and share a spark, but Bella is still “very single” and keeping things casual.
Does this impact DeJean during the Eagles’ playoff push?
Inside the team, the focus remains strictly on performance. DeJean is expected to be a key defensive contributor as Philadelphia chases back-to-back Super Bowl titles.
