Nikki Garcia sent NFL fans into a frenzy on Sunday after sharing a pregame Instagram post wearing Cooper DeJean’s Philadelphia Eagles jersey, adding fresh fuel to the dating rumors surrounding the WWE alum and the 22-year-old defensive star.
Walking confidently into what appeared to be throwback stadium footage, Garcia captioned the clip, “Walking into Sunday like…. ‘Been there, WON that.’ #FlyEaglesFly.” Dressed in DeJean’s No. 10 jersey and Eagles-branded sweatpants, she showcased her signature game-day enthusiasm — but this time fans fixated less on football and more on the possible message behind her outfit choice.
Fans React to the Jersey Choice
Within minutes, Garcia’s comments section lit up with speculation. Many noted the jersey wasn’t just team spirit — it was DeJean’s. “In the Coop jersey too!” one fan wrote, while another added, “She wants to keep the rumor alive.”
The growing buzz follows weeks of online chatter linking the pair, who share a 20-year age difference, after Garcia posed by DeJean’s locker during a recent visit to Philadelphia. She posted a heartfelt caption thanking friends and the city, calling it “truly THE city of brotherly love!”
Nikki Addresses the Rumors — Sort Of
Despite the rising speculation, Garcia recently hinted on The Nikki & Brie Show podcast that she hasn’t been romantically involved with anyone for a long time. In a candid moment, she said she hasn’t “even kissed someone in so long,” joking she might need to “make out with [her] pillow” to make sure she remembers how.
She also clapped back at critics who labeled her unfairly, stating the truth is far from what people assume about her dating life.
Garcia finalized her divorce from Artem Chigvintsev in 2024, with whom she shares her 5-year-old son, Matteo. She told Us Weekly earlier this year that she’s been “dating herself” and embracing a new chapter centered on self-care and rediscovery.
Cooper DeJean Keeps Quiet
DeJean has remained silent about the rumors. The Eagles standout, fresh off leading his team to a Super Bowl victory at the end of his rookie season, has only publicly discussed his past girlfriend, Steph Wilfawn, praising her support during his rapid rise to NFL stardom.
He acknowledged the whirlwind of sudden fame, noting his phone has been “blowing up” ever since the Super Bowl, and emphasized how much steady support meant to him during that time.
Jersey Signal or Friendly Support?
Whether Garcia’s jersey moment was playful fan spirit or something more remains unclear — but it certainly hasn’t slowed the internet’s curiosity. With neither star confirming nor denying their rumored connection, fans will likely stay tuned for the next clue that pops up on social media, especially as Garcia continues to show her unwavering love for the Eagles.
