Nikki Bella and Eagles’ Cooper DeJean spark dating rumors after WWE star’s locker room post
New power couple alert?
Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean, 22, and WWE star Nikki Bella, 42, are at the center of wild dating rumors that have engulfed much of social media.
Speculation revved up this week after Nikki — who finalized her divorce from “Dancing with the Stars” pro Artem Chigvintsev last November— recapped her experience at last weekend’s Eagles game in Philadelphia, where the reigning Super Bowl champions steamrolled the Raiders, 31-0.

During her Sunday Funday at Lincoln Financial Field, Nikki toasted with fellow guests in a box and made her way to the field before checking out the locker room, where she posed for a snap in DeJean’s locker.
The two also posed together while out and about, as captured in Nikki’s video post.
“So blessed for the people around me, new friends and old, who make life so special and fun,” Nikki captioned her Instagram post.

DeJean also commented on a separate post from Nikki with an eagle and red heart emoji.
Nikki, a WWE Hall of Famer alongside her sister, Brie, returned to wrestling during January’s women’s Royal Rumble and has since been a regular on television programming.
Her Philadelphia appearance came shortly after his losing in a championship match at November’s Survivor Series: WarGames premium live event.

As for DeJean, the Eagles’ second-round pick in 2024, he was most recently involved with Steph Wilfawn, who supported him in New Orleans during the Birds’ Super Bowl win in February.
The Eagles enter Week 16 atop the NFC East at 9-5, and can clinch their third division title in four years and second straight when they visit the Commanders (4-10) this Saturday.
