WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella has reportedly been spending time with Philadelphia Eagles rookie cornerback Cooper DeJean, according to TMZ.
The 41-year-old wrestling star has been spotted on dates with the 21-year-old NFL player, though sources indicate Bella considers herself single and the relationship remains 'casual' at this stage.
TMZ noted that Bella has attended recent Eagles games, fueling speculation about the budding romance. DeJean, who was drafted 40th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft from the University of Iowa, is currently in his rookie season with the playoff-bound Eagles.
Nikki Bella's Personal Life
The reported relationship comes months after Bella's divorce from Dancing with the Stars professional Artem Chigvintsev. She filed for divorce in September 2024 following Chigvintsev's arrest on felony domestic violence charges in August. The Napa County District Attorney later declined to file criminal charges. The former couple shares one son, Matteo, born in 2020.
Bella previously had a high-profile relationship with WWE superstar John Cena. The two dated from 2012 and became engaged in 2017, but called off their engagement in April 2018.
Her Current WWE Run
On the wrestling front, Bella returned to WWE in September 2024 at Bash in Berlin and has been active on the Raw brand. She recently competed against Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer at Survivor Series and in a three-way match also involving Raquel Rodriguez, with Vaquer retaining her title in both contests.
