Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean has been spending time with WWE Superstar Nikki Bella . According to TMZ Sports, DeJean and Bella (also known as Nikki Garcia) have been on some dates, but the two are not a couple. The outlet said there is “mutual attraction” between the two, but it’s “casual,” and Bella’s focus is on her career and raising her son Matteo.

There were rumors that Cooper DeJean and Nikki Bella are an item after Bella was spotted at a couple of Eagles games wearing a DeJean jersey. This news comes after Bella divorced Artem Chigvintsev in 2024.

When Bella first heard the rumors of her being with DeJean, she debunked the claims. “It’s crazy because I actually haven’t been touched or done anything in so long,” Bella said on the December 18 episode of The Nikki and Brie Show , per Yahoo. “It’s funny when people call me a whore when I actually haven’t had intimacy in a really long time, or even thought of kissing.”
