Nikki Bella has spent the past week shutting down wild fan accusations, but now shes at the center of a brand-new headlineone linking her to a rising NFL star nearly half her age.
According to the New York Post, the WWE Hall of Famer is rumored to be dating Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean after the two were seen together during Nikkis recent visit to Lincoln Financial Field.
The dating rumors exploded after Nikki posted a video recap of her Sunday Funday at the Eagles-Raiders game, where Philly shut out Las Vegas 31-0. In the Instagram clip, Nikki is seen hanging out in a private suite, heading down to the fieldand even posing inside DeJeans locker. Fans were quick to point out that she also posed for a photo with DeJean himself.
DeJean didnt exactly pour cold water on the speculation either. He dropped a not-so-subtle comment on another of Nikkis postsan eagle emoji and a red heart. Thats all fans needed to connect the dots.
Nikkis Philly appearance came after she addressed internet trolls calling her a whore over false rumors that she was hooking up with fanssomething she forcefully denied. In fact, Nikki claimed she hasnt even kissed anyone in ages, joking that she might need to make out with a pillow just to practice.
But now? Fans think that dry spell might be over. The 42-year-old star finalized her divorce from Dancing with the Stars pro Artem Chigvintsev last November, leaving the door open for a fresh start. And while nothing has been officially confirmed, the locker room photoand the cozy vibeshave social media buzzing about whats next.
Meanwhile, Cooper DeJean is riding high in his own right. The Eagles 2024 second-round draft pick is becoming a fan favorite in Philly, helping lead the team to a 9-5 record heading into Week 16. With the NFC East title within reach, DeJeans winning streak might just be extending off the field too.
Whether its just a friendly game-day hangout or something more, Nikki Bella and Cooper DeJean have everyone talkingand neither of them seems in a rush to shut it down.
