Speculation around a possible relationship between WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella and Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean has intensified after Bella appeared at a recent Eagles game wearing the player’s jersey.
Bella posted a video on Instagram on Sunday showing herself walking into Lincoln Financial Field wearing DeJean’s No. 33 Eagles shirt. She captioned the clip: “Walking into Sunday like… ‘Been there, WON that,’” adding the hashtag #FlyEaglesFly.
The post quickly reignited online chatter that began earlier this month, when Bella shared images taken inside DeJean’s locker at the Eagles’ stadium. Her latest appearance drew a wave of reactions in the comments, including eagle emojis from several followers — notably from her twin sister, Brie Bella.
Social Media Moments Fuel Relationship Rumours
Talk around the pair first gained traction after Bella shared footage from a home Eagles game that briefly showed the interior of DeJean’s locker. In another post-game clip, the two were also seen appearing close together, further fuelling speculation among fans.
While neither Bella nor DeJean has publicly confirmed a relationship, repeated appearances linked to the Eagles have kept the rumour mill active, particularly across Instagram and X.
Bella’s Public Praise for the Eagles
Bella has also openly praised the Eagles in recent weeks. Appearing on WWE Monday Night Raw in Michigan, she took a playful jab at the crowd while highlighting Philadelphia’s success.
She told the audience: “I am a legend, I am a Hall of Famer and I am a former champion… but you know what, how would you people know what champions look like? I mean, you root for the Lions. Let’s be honest, the Lions wish they were as good as the Philadelphia Eagles.”

Past Relationships and Current Focus
Bella was previously married to professional dancer Artem Chigvintsev, whom she met on Dancing With the Stars. The couple married in 2022 and finalised their divorce in November last year. They share a five-year-old son, Matteo.
DeJean, 22, is in his second season with the Philadelphia Eagles and enjoyed early success in his career. He won a Super Bowl during his rookie season after Philadelphia defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40–22 in February.
The Eagles are set to face the Buffalo Bills in Week 17, with kickoff scheduled for 4:25 p.m. Philadelphia has already clinched the NFC East title and enters the matchup at 10–5.
