WWE star Nikki Garcia is currently rumored to be dating Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean –– who is 20 years her junior.
But the 42-year-old, who wrestles under the stage name Nikki Bella, flew solo as she ran a series of errands in Napa, California on Monday.
The WWE Hall of Famer appeared to go makeup free as she braved the wet winter weather.
She donned a chunky pair of red gumboots and had thrown her brunette locks up in a messy ponytail with a red clip.
Despite the pouring rain, Garcia was able to hit up a bodega, a cafe, a nail salon and a grocery store.

Her wet outing comes after insiders told the Daily Mail that Garcia is ‘smitten’ with her 22-year-old toyboy.
Rumors of their romance initially emerged back in the summer after fans spotted Garcia looking cozy with DeJean on the sidelines at Philadelphia’s training camp.
Just a few months later, the former Total Divas star attended the Eagles’ 31-0 blowout win against the Las Vegas Raiders, where she appeared to have VIP access.
Fans drew attention to one photo included in the video, which showed Garcia sitting comfortably at the locker of rookie cornerback DeJean.
Further adding fuel to the fire, Garcia donned what appeared to be an Eagles-themed outfit for her match against Raquel Rodriquez and Stephanie Vaquer on Netflix’s WWE Raw.
Garcia, who previously dated actor and WWE legend John Cena for six years, was seen ringing in the new year at a lavish masquerade-style event at Liam’s Den & Bubble Bar at The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas last week.
Nikki and her sister Brie hosted the event, which was centered on a curated wine experience featuring their new Napa-based brand, Bonita Bonita.
Just a few days prior, on December 28th, Garcia fueled the dating rumors once again after sharing a video of herself wearing a DeJean jersey while attending a game at Lincoln Financial Field.

To add to the speculation, DeJean was had also been seen in attendance at a WWE show in Philadelphia, with wrestler Grayson Waller brazenly claiming in a podcast that he was only there in the front row ‘because he wanted to see Bella.’
Neither of the high-profile sports stars have confirmed nor denied the rumors.
Last month, Garcia suggested that there was nothing going on between the two of them after claiming she has not had in intimacy in a ‘really long time’.
‘It’s crazy because I actually haven’t been touched or done anything in so long,’ she said in response to the DeJean rumors on her SiriusXM podcast, The Nikki & Brie Show.
‘It’s funny when people call me a w***e when I actually haven’t had intimacy in a really long time, even think of kissing,’ she explained.
‘I haven’t even kissed someone in so long. It’s, like, kind of crazy. I was thinking of this last night: “Do I know how to kiss?” You know when it’s been so long? I mean, I hope so. I’m about to make out with my pillow to make sure I still got it.’

Back in November, Garcia admitted that she’d started posting thirst traps to social media to get attention following her brutal 2024 divorce from former Dancing With The Stars pro Artem Chigvintsev.
The WWE star made the bold admission while celebrating her 42nd birthday with twin sister Brie on their podcast.
Dressed in a plunging black top and bedazzled choker, Garcia gushed, ‘I’m all about thirst traps lately!’
She added, ‘Do it while you got it. I love thirst traps now because I need attention at times and that’s the only time I get attention.’
Garcia also said that she hadn’t even been ‘texting with anyone’, so she’s turned to social media to feed her need for attention.
‘Because I don’t text with anyone or do any of that stuff, so that’s where it feeds me, so sometimes your girl needs to post a thirst trap just to feel a little something,’ she explained.
‘At least I can own it. I love when other women do it. I make sure to give them lots of love, because yeah, sometimes you just need that.’
