dailyloe.com – Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Abby Summers attended the 2026 Kentucky Derby on May 3 as a guest of Philadelphia Eagles player Cooper DeJean. Their appearance together has sparked rumors of a romantic relationship between them.
Cooper DeJean, known for his role as a standout defensive back for the Eagles, previously dated former University of Iowa student Stephyn Wilfawn. The two were seen arriving together at the red carpet event, indicating a possible budding romance.
Photos released by the Kentucky Derby show Summers and DeJean together, further fueling speculation about their relationship. They were also spotted together at Iowa’s Elite Eight loss in March 2026, leading to playful commentary about their possible romance.
Comments from fellow cheerleaders highlight the budding relationship, as one noted on TikTok, referring to the event as a ‘hard launch day’ for the couple. Abby Summers’ relationship with DeJean comes after her team, the Cowboys, missed the NFL Playoffs in 2025.
DeJean has been recognized as one of the top defensive backs in the league, contributing to the Eagles’ Super Bowl win two seasons ago. Despite a setback in 2025, the Eagles are preparing for a strong rebound in 2026.
Both teams, the Cowboys and the Eagles, are scheduled to meet at least twice during the upcoming season, with the official NFL 2026 schedule to be released later this month. This developing relationship between a Cowboys cheerleader and an Eagles player adds intrigue to the rivalry.
