UPDATE: Nikki Garcia has sent NFL fans into a frenzy after posting a pregame Instagram video wearing Cooper DeJean’s Philadelphia Eagles jersey, igniting fresh dating rumors just moments ago. The clip features Garcia confidently walking into what appears to be throwback stadium footage, captioned, “Walking into Sunday like…. ‘Been there, WON that.’ #FlyEaglesFly.”
Sporting DeJean’s No. 10 jersey and Eagles-branded sweatpants, Garcia’s enthusiastic display has observers focused less on football and more on the implications of her outfit choice. Within minutes, fans flooded her comments section with speculation about the significance of the jersey. “In the Coop jersey too!” one fan exclaimed, while another suggested, “She wants to keep the rumor alive.”
This buzz comes after weeks of online chatter linking the WWE alum and the 22-year-old defensive star, particularly following Garcia’s appearance by DeJean’s locker during a recent visit to Philadelphia. In an emotionally charged post, she expressed gratitude for her friends and the city, calling it “truly THE city of brotherly love!”
Despite the escalating rumors, Garcia hinted on The Nikki & Brie Show podcast that she has not been romantically involved for a long time. In a candid moment, she said she hasn’t “even kissed someone in so long,” even joking she might need to “make out with [her] pillow” to remember. She also addressed critics who misjudge her dating life, stating that the truth is far from public assumptions. Garcia finalized her divorce from Artem Chigvintsev in 2024 and is focused on self-care while raising her 5-year-old son, Matteo.
Meanwhile, Cooper DeJean has not commented on the rumors. The Eagles standout is fresh off leading his team to a Super Bowl victory at the end of his rookie season and has only publicly acknowledged his past girlfriend, Steph Wilfawn, praising her support during his rapid rise to NFL stardom. He noted that his phone has been “blowing up” since the Super Bowl, emphasizing the importance of steady support during his newfound fame.
Whether Garcia’s jersey moment was mere fan spirit or a sign of something deeper remains unclear. However, the internet’s curiosity is palpable. With neither star confirming nor denying their rumored connection, fans are likely to stay tuned for the next social media hint, especially as Garcia continues to show her unwavering love for the Eagles.
