Nikki Bella has reignited dating rumors after sharing a new Instagram video that immediately caught fans’ attention. Over the weekend, the former WWE star posted footage of herself confidently walking through Lincoln Financial Field while wearing a Philadelphia Eagles jersey linked to rising NFL player Cooper DeJean.

Captioning the clip, Bella wrote, “Walking into Sunday like… Been there, WON that.” She also added the hashtag #FlyEaglesFly. Notably, she disabled comments on the post that fueled further speculation among fans.
Bella, 42, and DeJean, 22, first sparked romance chatter earlier this month when she shared content from another visit to the Pennsylvania stadium. At the time, she described feeling grateful for the people in her life, writing that she felt “so blessed” by both new and longtime friends who make life fun and meaningful.
During that visit, Bella posed smiling in front of DeJean’s locker and later spent the evening out at a bar with the much younger athlete. Fans quickly connected the dots, especially after noticing that the two follow each other on social media and frequently like and comment on each other’s posts.
Bella, whose real name is Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace, was last publicly linked to Artem Chigvintsev. The former couple divorced in 2024 after two years of marriage and now co-parent their five-year-old son, Matteo. Earlier this year, Bella spoke candidly on the Nikki & Brie Show podcast about the possibility of finding love again. She said she could “definitely” see herself falling in love, but made it clear she was not rushing into a new relationship.
Bella spoke candidly about her hesitations around dating, particularly with someone younger. She said she wants to feel fully confident in herself before reentering that part of her life, including feeling comfortable in her body after becoming a mother. Bella also made it clear that she has no plans to marry again or have more children.
