It turns out that Nikki Bella might be an even bigger Eagles fan than previously thought.
The WWE hall of famer, 42, reportedly is dating Philadelphia cornerback Cooper DeJean, 22, after rumours were sparked when the pair were spotted together last month.
According to TMZ, citing a source with knowledge of the situation, the former WWE women’s champion and the Eagles sophomore have been spending some time together recently and have been on dates.
However, the outlet reports that Bella is “still very single and enjoying life.”
Bella also remains focused on raising her five-year-old son, Matteo, whom she shares with Dancing with the Stars pro Artem Chigvintsev.
Bella and Chigvintsev — who finalized their divorce in November 2024 — split after he was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence, however Nikki said on an episode of her podcast that she and Chigvintsev are “in a good place” and are co-parenting.
What started the dating rumours?
The couple sparked dating rumours after being spotted last month following Philadelphia’s 31-0 thrashing of the Las Vegas Raiders, which Bella attended.
Bella posted a photo dump of her weekend experience at the game and also of her out having a good time in the City of Brotherly Love.
“So blessed for the people around me, new friends and old, who make life so special and fun,” she captioned a video of her Sunday Funday.
“Thank you Big Dom @daveophilly @nickyryan @philadelphiaflyers & @livecasinophl for spoiling me and my crew this weekend!”
Seen together at a club
Two parts of her whirlwind weekend video in particular caught the keen eyes of fans.
First, Bella was seen sitting in DeJean’s locker stall with a big smile on her face, then later she appeared to snuggle in close to him while sitting on a bench at a night club.
It also didn’t go unnoticed that DeJean commented on Bella’s post, replying with eagle and heart emojis.
It wasn’t the first time that Bella, a big fan of Philadelphia sports teams, has been spotted with DeJean. On a visit to an Eagles practice during training camp, Bella posed for a photo with the second-year player.
Bella, who was born in San Diego, also has shared many posts of herself attending Phillies and Flyers games in Philadelphia in the past few months.
What are Bella and DeJean up to?
A WWE hall of famer alongside her twin sister, Brie, Bella came out of retirement to return to WWE last January and has remained active in the company and been featured in several high-profile matches.
She recently has been sporting Eagles-themed ring gear and taunting wrestling crowds in rival cities, boasting about the team’s success.
As for DeJean, his Eagles won the NFC East and will begin their Super Bowl defence on Sunday in the playoffs at home against the San Francisco 49ers. It is unknown if Bella will be in attendance.
