Cooper DeJean Responds After Nikki Bella Seemingly Admits To Dating Him On WWE Raw

Cooper DeJean has responded to rumors about him dating WWE superstar Nikki Bella.

Since returning to the Stamford promotion in June last year, Nikki has fielded many questions about her dating life, including one involving sleeping with her fans.

There were also rumors that she was dating fellow wrestler Grayson Waller, which she denied as well.

In December 2025, she was spotted multiple times with Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean. It kick-started another round about her personal life, the talking point being their 20-year age gap.

The February 2 episode of WWE Raw came from Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. Nikki Bella, who officially reunited with her twin Brie Bella, addressed the crowd.

Nikki seemingly misheard the chants for boos, as she teased the audience by taking a jab at the Philadelphia Eagles.

Brie then explained to her that they were probably chanting “Coop,” which was in reference to Cooper DeJean. Nikki then replied by saying, “Can you blame a girl for having good taste?”

While neither party had officially confirmed dating each other, Bella’s interaction with the Philly crowd got the fans talking.

Cooper DeJean Responds To Nikki Bella Dating Rumors

Cooper DeJean recently appeared on the Pat McAfee Show, where the NFL star was put on the spot by the host regarding his rumored relationship with Nikki Bella.

The 22-year-old minced no words while responding.

I don’t think I have a public relationship.

McAfee thought it best not press the issue further, telling everyone to move along since they had now heard it from the horse’s mouth.

Also on the Raw episode, Brie and Nikki Bella made their intention clear about chasing the Women’s Tag Team Championship, currently held by Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky.
