Cooper DeJean, Nikki Bella Dating Rumors Addressed by Eagles Star After WWE HoFer's Viral Raw Video

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean commented this week on WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella acknowledging him during Monday night's episode of Raw.

Last month, TMZ Sports reported that Bella and DeJean had gone on some "casual" dates, which prompted fans to chant, "Coop!" at Bella during Monday's Raw in Philadelphia.

Nikki responded by saying, "Can you blame a girl for having good taste? I mean, Pro Bowl, baby."

Janine Rubenstein of People (h/t People.com's Michael Nied) asked DeJean about the viral moment during media availability in San Francisco for Super Bowl LX week, and DeJean responded by saying, "It was crazy to kind of see that. I don't know. I didn't really expect that. Obviously it was in Philly, so..."

DeJean also appeared on Up & Adams with Kay Adams on Wednesday, and Adams pressed him on his rumored relationship with Bella:

The 22-year-old Pro Bowler and First Team All-Pro called Bella a "good friend," and added that she "could be talking about anybody," in reference to her comments on Raw.

DeJean went on to say that Nikki is "amazing at what she does," and has been "doing it for a long time."

Despite the rumors and her comments on Raw, the 42-year-old Bella continues to insist she is not in a relationship, as she told TMZ Sports this week that she is single.

Right now, Nikki seems to be focused on winning some championship gold, especially after the surprise return of her twin sister, Brie Bella, in the women's Royal Rumble match last weekend.

On Monday's edition of Raw, Nikki and Brie announced their intention to go after the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships, which are currently held by Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky.
