In a video from the segment, the twins entered to loud boos. Nikki Bella tried to read the room, asking, “Is that for the Eagles not getting in the Super Bowl or for us?” but Brie suggested it could be about her dating Cooper DeJean. Brie said, “I actually think they’re saying ‘Coop,’” while her sister looked visibly flustered.
However, Nikki recovered immediately, but she didn’t shut it down. Instead, she smiled through it and fired back with a pointed joke that sounded like a subtle nod to the rumors, saying, “Can you blame a girl for having good taste? I mean, Pro Bowl, baby.”
Off the scene, the speculation about Nikki dating DeJean has been building for months. Page Six noted that Nikki first sparked the chatter in December when she posted from Philadelphia and included moments tied to DeJean, including a clip in his locker and footage that appeared to show the two looking cozy while celebrating a win. Later, she posted a video from Lincoln Financial Field wearing a jersey honoring the defensive back, before reportedly turning off comments.
And while Nikki hasn’t confirmed anything directly, TMZ described the situation as casual, while also claiming that Nikki was still single at the time.
