WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella is reported to be casually dating second-year Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean, a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to TMZ Sports.

Bella, 42, and DeJean, 22, "have been spending time together and even been on dates," according to the source, who added that "Nikki is still very single and enjoying her life." The two reportedly share a "mutual attraction," however, the source said Bella's "primary focus is on her career and raising her son, Matteo."

Nikki and her twin sister, Brie, have long been fans of the Eagles and the WWE legend sparked dating rumors when she recently wore DeJean's jersey to multiple games, as well as Eagles-inspired wrestling gear during her match against Raquel Rodriguez and WWE Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer on December 29.

“It’s crazy because I actually haven’t been touched or done anything in so long,” Bella initially said when addressing the rumors on the December 18 episode of her podcast, The Nikki & Brie Show. “It’s funny when people call me a w***e when I actually haven’t had intimacy in a really long time, or even thought of kissing.”

“I haven’t even kissed someone in so long. It’s kind of crazy,” she added. “I was thinking of this last night—do I even know how to kiss?”

DeJean was selected by the Eagles at No. 40 overall in the second-round of the 2024 NFL Draft and was selected to the Pro Bowl for the first time in 2025. The former Iowa standout recorded an interception for a touchdown during the Eagles' Super Bowl LIX win against the Kansas City Chiefs last February.
