Cooper DeJean sparks dating rumors with Cowboys cheerleader after Nikki Bella fling

It looks like Cooper DeJean's reported fling with WWE star Nikki Bella was short lived, as the 23-year-old Philadelphia Eagles cornerback stepped out with someone new. 

Over the weekend, DeJean stopped by his Alma Mater, the University of Iowa, to take in a college basketball game with Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Abby Summers. 

It wasn't the best game to watch, as the Hawkeyes suffered a crushing loss to Illinois, but that's besides the point. 

The NFL star was dressed casually for the outing, rocking a T-shirt and grey shorts, while Summers matched his vibe in a simple black tank top. 

Shortly after DeJean was spotted at the game, social media lit up speculation that the Eagle's star had moved on from Bella. 

"Dropped Nikki Bella for a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader," one person commented on X. 

"Wait wasn’t he just dating that Bella twin?!" a second wrote.

"I swear he's with a different girl every time," a third said. 

"So will she cheer for him when he's playing the cowboys??" another added.

Inside Cooper DeJean's short-lived fling with Nikki Bella

Prior to stepping out publicly with the Cowboys cheerleader, DeJean was linked to Bella.

The romance rumors took off last year after the WWE twin showed up at Eagles training camp wearing custom gear and posing with DeJean on the field. 

She added fuel to the fire by attending several Eagles home games, most notably a matchup against the Raiders, where she donned a DeJean jersey, and by documenting her time partying with the NFL CB after a game.

In January 2026, a source confirmed to "TMZ" that the pair were casually going on dates. 

But it looks like that's all water under the bridge now.
