Cooper DeJean won’t have a tough act to follow.

WWE superstar Nikki Bella is confirmed to be dating Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Cooper Dejean.

Bella, whose real name is Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace, has been the subject of DeJean dating rumors for several weeks.

She has done very little to hide her affection for the young star. She’s turned up to games, appeared in a photo with the 22-year-old, talked up Philly on WWE broadcasts, and worn themed gear in the ring.

TMZ Sports cites a source close to the situation who has revealed that the 42-year-old WWE Diva has been spending time with the Super Bowl Champion, and they have been on a few dates.

“A source with knowledge tells TMZ … the WWE star and Philadelphia Eagles cornerback have been spending some time together and even been on dates … but Nikki is still very single and enjoying life,” the publication reports.

Even so, the source maintains that she’s single, with her young son, Matteo, being her priority. The wrestler also previously claimed she’s been practicing abstinence.

TMZ notes “there’s definitely a mutual attraction there — but again, it’s casual — and NB’s primary focus is on her career and raising her son, Matteo.”

Nikki Bella Is All About The Eagles Nowadays

Bella has been one of the Eagles’ most prominent fans in recent times. She shared social media posts from the team’s locker room after a visit to Lincoln Financial Field. She has also been to several games wearing DeJean’s jersey.

DeJean does not have a tough act to follow. John Cena is invisible, while things quickly went south with Artem Chigvintsev.

Meanwhile, the former Iowa star has remained in fine form in his second NFL season. He’s a Pro Bowler this season, having been crucial to the Eagles’ Super Bowl capture in 2024.

The Eagles are preparing to defend their silverware, with a first-round playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers set for Sunday.

Look out for Nikki.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.


From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
