Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Cooper DeJean is constantly denying the rumors about a potential relationship with WWE star Nikki Bella. Although his recent actions seem to be contrary to his claims in front of the media. He was attending a celebrity event sponsored by Xfinity ahead of the Super Bowl. According to Sportskeeda, he was present there with Brie Bella, who’s the twin sister of Nikki Bella.
On the Kay Adams Show, Cooper DeJean had an awkward moment about the prevalent stories surrounding him and Bella. At Adam’s joke, “Uncle Cooper DeJean… Aunt Nikki Bella?,” DeJean couldn’t help but blush red. He clarified that he and Bella are simply friends and the two are not dating.
During the VIP Guest bartending event, it wasn’t just Cooper DeJean and Brie Bella who caught the spotlight. Saquon Barkley and AJ Brown were also present with them as Xfinity members who were allowed to attend the event. DeJean’s team up with Bella after the constant nagging about dating her twin sister may not affect him, but Nikki Bella isn’t interested in dumping the rumors either.

At Least Nikki Bella Hasn’t Rejected Him Outright
Nikki Bella has faced the same treatment as Cooper DeJean, and she is more than happy to hint at a potential relationship between them. During the Monday Night Raw held at the Xfinity Arena, Nikki Bella seemingly confirmed the same. Her sister teased her with the name of Cooper DeJean, and Bella playfully agreed, saying, “Can you blame a girl for having good taste? I pro-bo, baby.”
The ‘pro-bo’ is a reference to Cooper’s first time in the NFL Pro Bowl in 2026. Before this, Bella and her social media were the reason behind this wild speculation amongst the fans and the media. She attended an Eagles game on December 14, where they won the 31-0 over the Raiders.
After she posted her snaps on December 16, Cooper DeJean reacted with a heart and an eagle emoji in the comments section. The next day, Bella posted a video of her posing in front of Cooper’s locker room. Her actions have only added fuel to the fire, which started on September 5 after her appearance at an Eagles practice on September 5.
Bella was last confirmed to date Steph Wilfawn until February 2025. She was married to professional dancer, Aretem Chigvinstev, in 2022 and filed for a divorce with him in 2024.
