• Nikki Bella & Top Sports Star Are Casually Dating
WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella’s personal life is back in the spotlight, but not in the way it was a year ago. Following a high-profile divorce in 2024, Bella has quietly re-entered the dating world, and recent public appearances have fueled curiosity about Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean. According to TMZ, the two have spent time together privately, including going on dates, though nothing exclusive or serious is currently in place.
Sources told TMZ that while there is mutual interest, Bella remains single and is not pursuing a committed relationship. Her focus continues to be her career and raising her son, Matteo.
Speculation around Bella and DeJean picked up after she attended multiple Philadelphia Eagles games wearing DeJean’s jersey, prompting online chatter that the connection went beyond fandom. TMZ reports that those appearances were not coincidental, but also stressed that the situation remains casual.
The attention marks a notable shift for Bella, whose split from Artem Chigvintsev generated significant headlines. Since then, she has publicly stated that the two are on stable terms as co-parents.
Bella addressed that dynamic previously on The Nikki and Brie Show, saying she and Chigvintsev are in a good place and prioritizing their child.
