Nikki Bella is setting the record straight: despite the flirty vibes on Monday Night RAW, she's still very much single. The WWE star addressed the buzz with NFL player Cooper DeJean after fans chanted his nickname during her promo. While there's mutual attraction and some casual dates, Bella insists she's enjoying life on her own terms.
Oh, the drama! Nikki Bella, the 41-year-old WWE Hall of Famer, spilled the tea to TMZ Sports right after her appearance on Monday Night RAW in Philadelphia. Fans couldn't resist and started yelling 'Coop' at her in the ring—hello, Cooper DeJean shoutout? Brie Bella chimed in with, 'I actually think they're saying Coop,' and Nikki fired back, 'Can you blame a girl for having good taste?' 😏
Social media went wild, assuming this was the ultimate couple confirmation. But hold up—Nikki shut it down quick. 'Nope, single,' she told TMZ when caught up with in NYC post-show. No Valentine's Day deets either; she dodged that question like a pro wrestler evading a pin.
Don't get it twisted, though. Sources previously told TMZ that Nikki and Cooper have been casually seeing each other—dates, hangouts, the works. Mutual attraction? Absolutely. But Nikki's keeping it light, focusing on her career and her son, Matteo. She's out here living her best single life, thank you very much.
Meanwhile, Cooper's across the country in San Francisco, prepping for the Pro Bowl on Tuesday night. Bet his teammates are grilling him nonstop about this. Are they just friends with killer chemistry, or is there more brewing? Nikki's playing it cool, but the internet's not letting this one go easy. Eyes emoji for days.
