Eagles Star's Ex Reflects on the Past as Dating Rumors with Reality Star Heat Up

The former girlfriend of Philadelphia Eagles standout Cooper DeJean is reflecting on the past year as speculation about the NFL player’s romantic relationships continues to circulate.

Stephyn Wilfawn, who previously dated the Eagles cornerback, shared a series of photographs through her Instagram Story on Sunday, December 28, to mark the close of the year.

“Saying goodbye to the most transformative year, expressing gratitude for everything,” she wrote. “2026, I’m prepared for you.”

DeJean, 22, was not featured in any of the images and has largely been removed from Wilfawn’s social media presence.

The only evidence of their relationship is a post from December 2024, when Wilfawn and a group of Eagles WAGs traveled to Baltimore to support Philadelphia’s game against the Ravens.

“This one’s for the ladies,” Wilfawn captioned the images.

Wilfawn initially posted a photograph of herself and DeJean via Instagram in July 2024 — which has since been deleted — and she was present to witness him return an interception for a touchdown in Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs in February.

It remains unclear when Wilfawn and DeJean ended their relationship.

What is clear is that interest in DeJean’s love life has never been greater.

DeJean and professional wrestling icon and reality television personality Nikki Garcia have been fueling dating rumors for weeks, which intensified on Sunday, when Garcia, 42, was observed wearing a DeJean jersey prior to the Eagles’ matchup with the Buffalo Bills.

“Entering Sunday like this,” Garcia captioned a video via Instagram of herself wearing DeJean’s jersey. “Been there, DONE that.” #flyeaglesfly.

The video of Garcia was filmed at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field, while Sunday’s game took place at Buffalo’s Highmark Stadium, so the exact date the video was recorded is uncertain.

However, Garcia clearly embraced the discussion surrounding her alleged romance with the Eagles star, which has been a topic of conversation since she posed for a photo inside DeJean’s locker earlier this month.

“So grateful for the people in my life, both new and old, who make everything so enjoyable and exciting,” Garcia wrote via Instagram at the time.

Garcia expressed her appreciation to the Eagles organization for “spoiling me and my crew this weekend!”

“Fly Eagles Fly! Truly the city of brotherly love!” she added.

Garcia — who was previously married to Artem Chigvintsev from 2022 to 2024, with whom she shares son Matteo, 5 — attempted to dismiss speculation about her dating status during a recent episode of her podcast.

“It’s surprising because I actually haven’t been intimate with anyone in quite some time,” Garcia said on the December 18 episode of “The Nikki & Brie Show,” which she cohosts with her twin sister, Brie. “It’s funny when people label me in a certain way when I haven’t had any physical connection in a very long time.”

Nikki stated she hadn’t “even kissed someone in a long time.”

“It’s, like, a bit strange,” she added. “I was contemplating this last night, ‘Do I still remember how to kiss?’ You know, when it’s been such a long period? I mean, I’m about to kiss my pillow just to be sure I haven’t forgotten.”
