Nikki Bella Cooper DeJean dating rumors (Getty Images)
Nikki Bella has heard the chatter for months, but she is not entertaining it anymore. The former WWE star addressed her relationship status with clarity during a recent podcast appearance, shutting down speculation linking her to Philadelphia Eagles rookie Cooper DeJean.
For Bella, the focus is not on rumors or labels. It is on stability, routine, and raising her son. The noise around her personal life may have grown louder, but her stance has not shifted, and she made that much clear in a brief, direct response.
What did Nikki Bella say about Cooper DeJean dating rumors
Finally, Nikki Bella has something to say about her dating rumor with Cooper DeJean. Bella did not circle around the question when it came up on the Angie Martinez IRL podcast. She answered it the way she has increasingly chosen to handle the topic, with simplicity and certainty.
“I’m single,” she said, leaving little room for interpretation.That answer reflects more than just a label. Bella spoke openly about where she is in life right now, and it does not include actively pursuing a relationship. “I love being single,” she said. “I love my space. I love how I do my routines. I love my aesthetic of my home now of just like it’s me and my son.”

It is a picture of someone who has found a rhythm that works. Between raising her 5-year-old son Matteo, managing business commitments, and staying connected to WWE, Bella described dating as something that feels like an added responsibility rather than a natural fit.
“It’s probably because I haven’t met the person who’s made me want to make space for that,” she said. The comment carries a quiet honesty. It is not a rejection of relationships entirely, but an acknowledgment that nothing so far has been compelling enough to disrupt her current life.The rumors tying her to Cooper DeJean did not come out of nowhere. They built gradually after Bella’s visit to Philadelphia late last year, when she shared clips from inside the Eagles locker room.
One video placed her near DeJean’s locker. Another showed the two smiling together, enough to spark online speculation.That interest only intensified as Bella attended Eagles games wearing his jersey. Reports in January suggested the two were “casually dating,” though both stopped short of confirming anything publicly. Bella even played along briefly during a WWE appearance in Philadelphia, responding to chants with, “Can you blame a girl for having good taste? Pro Bowl, baby.”Still, neither she nor DeJean ever defined the relationship. Bella had already hinted at her single status earlier, saying she had not “even kissed someone in so long,” while DeJean kept his answers vague during Super Bowl week. Since then, he has been linked to other names, adding more layers to an already speculative story.Nikki Bella’s latest comments cut through all of that. Not with drama, but with a steady reminder that, for now, her life is exactly how she wants it.
