WWE superstar Nikki Bella is reportedly catching some feelings for Cooper DeJean.
A few weeks after Bella, 42, quietly featured DeJean, 22, in one of her social media posts, a source has come forward claiming that John Cena's ex is indeed intrigued by the Philadelphia Eagles cornerback.
"She's smitten by him and playfully talks about him to friends," a source told the "Daily Mail."
"She's really happy and it's an exciting time for her - but she is definitely keeping it as casual as possible, for now. She's just having fun and enjoying the single life," the insider added. "
"Cooper is in the middle of football season so he can't do much until it's over. That's why they're keeping it casual and not forcing anything."

"So blessed for the people around me, new friends and old, who make life so special and fun. 🤍✨🙏🏼," she captioned the post.
