WWE superstar Nikki Bella has added fuel to the fire of dating rumors between she and Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean by wearing a kelly green outfit on the Monday, December 29 episode of RAW.
Video of Nikki Bella in the kelly green outfit on the December 29 episode of RAW went viral on social media, with people hailing the 22-year-old Philadelphia Eagles cornerback as the “white boy of the year,” a title that was previously held by Timothee Chalamet (according to Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards, at least).

Rumors of Bella and DeJean being in a relationship have been ongoing for a few weeks now, especially after Bella took to Instagram to post a photo of herself in DeJean’s locker and a video clip of herself walking into Lincoln Financial Field while wearing DeJean’s No. 33 jersey.
Beyond their celebrity status, DeJean and Bella spark public interest as a couple given their 20-year age difference: Bella is 42 years old, while DeJean, in his second year with the Philadelphia Eagles, is 22 years old.
Bella was previously married to her Dancing with the Stars partner Artem Chigvintsev, whom she married in 2022 before settling their divorce back in November and shares a five-year-old son with.
The 11-5 Eagles — the first back-to-back champions that the NFC East has seen in 20 years — will close out their 2025 regular season schedule on Sunday, January 4 at home against the Washington Commanders at 4:25 p.m. ET.
