Nikki Bella recently spoke out to clarify her relationship status, firmly dismissing rumors that she is romantically linked to Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean. Speaking during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, she emphasized that she and DeJean are simply good friends while she is focusing on enjoying life without serious dating commitments.
Conversation Highlights Reveal Nikki’s Current Dating Outlook
When asked if she had started dating again, Nikki responded with a lighthearted refusal. She said,
“No. I’m having fun. I’m not, I’m having fun. Okay. Girls, have fun.”
Her sister Brie Bella joined the conversation playfully, offering to help by saying,
“But if anyone’s interested, send your resume to me.”
Nikki joked that Brie was “like the Tinder app,” a description Brie quickly embraced by saying,
“I am the Tinder app for Nikki.”
Nikki went on to clearly state,
“Yeah, I don’t need resumes. I don’t need to have that. I just want to have fun.”
Clarifying the Nature of Her Relationship With Cooper DeJean
Addressing the specific rumors tying her to Cooper DeJean, Nikki laughed and responded,
“Are you talking about my good friend?”
She further emphasized that both she and DeJean view their relationship as platonic. Supporting this, DeJean recently referred to Nikki in an interview with Kay Adams as “a good friend, yeah.” When Adams referenced Nikki’s RAW promo remark,
“Can you blame a girl for having good taste? I mean, Pro Bowl, baby,”
DeJean sidestepped by saying,
“Who’s she talking about? She’s saying she got good taste? I mean, she could be talking about anybody.”
Current Focus: Friendship and Professional Ambitions
For the time being, Nikki Bella and Cooper DeJean continue to publicly insist that their connection is based on friendship. Nikki remains focused on enjoying her life outside of romance, while she and her sister Brie, collectively known as The Bella Twins, are aiming to pursue success in WWE by targeting the Women’s Tag Team Titles.
