An Eagles player and a Cowboys cheerleader are dating, and the NFL has no idea what to do with itself.Okay so the Kentucky Derby gave us a lot this past weekend. Great outfits, great horses, great vibes. But nobody was ready for Cooper DeJean and Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Abby Summers to pull up to Churchill Downs together and just casually blow up the entire NFC East.The Eagles’ cornerback and the Cowboys’ cheerleader showed up on the Kentucky Derby red carpet together, looking absolutely adorable.
Cooper DeJean and Abby Summers make relationship public at Kentucky Derby
Summers then posted a TikTok of the two of them showing off their outfits, and that’s when the internet lost it. Her Cowboys cheer teammate Kleine Powell jumped straight into the comments and wrote “Derby day aka hard launch day,” and another teammate, McKenna Gehrke, followed up with “BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!” So yes. Its official. The people have confirmed it.Here’s the thing, though, if you were paying attention, the signs were already there. Back in March, DeJean and Summers were spotted together at the Elite Eight game between Iowa and Illinois. DeJean went to Iowa, so it made sense he’d be there. What didn’t quite make sense in the best possible way was the Cowboys cheerleader sitting right next to him.Neither of them said anything at the time, and the internet was left to speculate. Even Jason Kelce couldn’t help himself, posting on “He’s pulling a Trojan Horse.” Honestly Jason said everything that needed to be said.Before Abby Summers, the internet was CONVINCED Cooper DeJean had something going on with WWE star Nikki Bella, who is 42 by the way, which the internet could not stop talking about. It started when Bella showed up at an Eagles game last December and posted photos and videos with DeJean at training camp over the summer. Fans were spiraling. But DeJean shut it down pretty quickly. He went on Kay Adams’ show and flat out called Nikki Bella a “good friend,” nothing more. Nikki never really confirmed or denied anything either. So that chapter? Closed. Abby Summers has entered the chat and she is clearly not a situationship. The Kentucky Derby red carpet appearance was a whole statement.The 23-year-old Eagles cornerback is one of the best young defensive backs in the league right now. He won a Super Bowl as a rookie and has been making plays ever since. He’s kind of a big deal.Abby Summers is a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, and yes, those from the Netflix show America’s Sweethearts. She’s been on the squad for two seasons and before that she was on the Ohio State dance team. Basically both of them are that girl and that guy respectively.
upcoming Eagles vs Cowboys games could turn this into a viral sideline moment
Here’s where it gets fun. The Cowboys and Eagles play each other at least twice this season. So at some point, Cooper DeJean is going to be on one sideline and his girlfriend is going to be on the other. The cameras are going to have a field day. Cowboys fans are already not thrilled. Eagles fans think it’s hilarious.And honestly? Good for them. Love in the NFC East is brave. We’re rooting for it.
