NFL star Cooper DeJean has sparked a social media frenzy after being seen with a Cowboys cheerleader, despite being romantically linked with WWE’s Nikki Bella.
The Eagles cornerback, 23, has been linked with 42-year-old Bella ever since they posed together at Philadelphia’s training camp over the summer, just months before she attended the team’s win over the Las Vegas Raiders in December.
After sharing a video that highlighted her time at Lincoln Financial Field, fans spotted the stunning wrestler sitting at his locker inside the team’s changing room.
Meanwhile, on a recent episode of Monday Night Raw, Bella joked that she has ‘good taste’ after the crowd began chanting ‘Coop’ at her in the ring.
While the public hints lead fans to believe that the two stars were in fact dating, it appears that isn’t the case after DeJean was spotted with another girl this month.
On March 28, DeJean was seen cozying up to Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Abby Summers at an Iowa basketball game at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
Cooper DeJean has seemingly poured cold water on rumors that he’s dating Nikki Bella
DeJean was checking out his alma mater when eagle-eyed fans identified the woman that he was with in the crowd, immediately sparking dating rumors.
Summers has become a recognizable face after starring in the Netflix docuseries ‘America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders’.
She is also a former Ohio State dance team member. On Instagram, she boasts 188,000 followers, along with a further 460,000 followers on TikTok.
Summers is also the founder of the ‘Colab Collective’ clothing brand. The nature of their relationship remains unclear after their public sighting.
His apparent date with Summers came just one month after DeJean addressed rumors that he was dating WWE star Bella, after being grilled by sports host Kay Adams on her FanDuel show ‘Up & Adams’.
As he discussed the prospect of being a ‘fun uncle’ when Eagles teammate and good friend Reed Blankenship’s baby is born this year, Adams teased the NFL player by asking: ‘And Aunt Nikki Bella?’
DeJean laughed before saying: ‘Good one. I don’t know about that, she’s a good friend.’

Adams then read out the quote from Bella about having ‘good taste’ before DeJean said: ‘Who’s she talking about? She could be talking about anybody.’
The Super Bowl winner also added about his rumored lover’s wrestling talent: ‘She is [a legend], she’s amazing at what she does. She’s been doing it for a long time.’
Meanwhile last month, when asked by the Daily Mail for her plans for Valentine’s Day, Bella revealed, ‘You know I’m doing it with my son. So we’ll be either building Legos, riding trains or doing something fun.’
Her sister and tag-team partner, Brie Bella, added, ‘We always make it a family event. We always take the kids out, we do something really cute.’
