WWE star Nikki Bella has poured cold water on her dating prospects after drifting away from Super Bowl champion Cooper DeJean, going as far as to claim that she is currently celibate.
The 42-year-old made headlines with rumors she was in a whirlwind romance with the Eagles star 20 years her junior, but that came to a crashing halt when he was instead spotted cozying up to a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.
DeJean is now official with the glamorous Abby Summers after the pair posted about their day at the Kentucky Derby, and Bella, real name Nikki Garcia, has been left on the sidelines.
Speaking about her dating life with US Weekly ahead of this weekend’s WWE SummerSlam, she said: ‘I’m pretty much like a nun at this point. Super celibate. I should just put on a ring.’
She then added: ‘I wish I was out there getting wild. I just don’t have the energy for it.’
It has certainly been a busy few months for the wrestling star, after she un-retired to return to the WWE and furthered her business aspirations with a wine company and podcast alongside her twin sister Brie.

She is also a single mom to her six-year-old son Matteo, whom she had with Russian-American dancer Artem Chigvintsev.
The pair got divorced in 2024 off the back of his domestic violence arrest, though prosecutors decided not to pursue charges against him.
Bella was consistently linked with NFL star DeJean at the start of the year, with the pair both leaning into the rumors.
When she appeared in the wrestling ring on Netflix, commentators even speculated about the romance and her choice of outfit, in a very fitting Philly green.
She shared videos of herself at Eagles games and in front of his locker, while DeJean himself also commented to say that they were ‘good friends’.

He added: ‘She is [a legend], she’s amazing at what she does. She’s been doing it for a long time.’
After that, though, things went quiet and it appears the pair went their separate ways.
While DeJean, now 23, has moved on, Bella remains on the hunt for a new man.
‘I still keep my eyes open,’ she admitted. ‘There’s been some prospects.’
