WWE superstar Nikki Bella is confirmed to be dating Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Cooper Dejean.
Bella, whose real name is Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace, has been the subject of DeJean dating rumors for several weeks.
She has done very little to hide her affection for the young star. She’s turned up to games, appeared in a photo with the 22-year-old, talked up Philly on WWE broadcasts, and worn themed gear in the ring.
TMZ Sports cites a source close to the situation who has revealed that the 42-year-old WWE Diva has been spending time with the Super Bowl Champion, and they have been on a few dates.
“A source with knowledge tells TMZ … the WWE star and Philadelphia Eagles cornerback have been spending some time together and even been on dates … but Nikki is still very single and enjoying life,” the publication reports.
Even so, the source maintains that she’s single, with her young son, Matteo, being her priority. The wrestler also previously claimed she’s been practicing abstinence.
TMZ notes “there’s definitely a mutual attraction there — but again, it’s casual — and NB’s primary focus is on her career and raising her son, Matteo.”
Bella has been one of the Eagles’ most prominent fans in recent times. She shared social media posts from the team’s locker room after a visit to Lincoln Financial Field. She has also been to several games wearing DeJean’s jersey.
DeJean does not have a tough act to follow. John Cena is invisible, while things quickly went south with Artem Chigvintsev.
Meanwhile, the former Iowa star has remained in fine form in his second NFL season. He’s a Pro Bowler this season, having been crucial to the Eagles’ Super Bowl capture in 2024.
The Eagles are preparing to defend their silverware, with a first-round playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers set for Sunday.
Look out for Nikki.
