Steph Wilfawn’s boyfriend, Cooper DeJean, has a lot of admirers, but no one challenged her position as the only girl in the Philadelphia Eagles’ corner’s life—until now.

DeJean attended his first Kentucky Derby during the weekend with some of his Eagles teammates, including Reed Blankenship and Eli Ricks. Before taking his seat near the racecourse, DeJean chatted with the media.

The reporter interviewing the 22-year-old revealed that someone was looking for him. “Someone said they want to hang out with you?,” the reporter said. DeJean asked if it was Kay Adams. The reporter replied, “She said she’s willing to party [and hang out with you].”

Alright, I’m down!

Cooper DeJean added

Adams interviewed DeJean after the Eagles won Super Bowl LIX. He spoke about his parents’ role in his life because it’s not easy for a small-town boy from Iowa to break into college football, let alone the NFL, and win a ring. DeJean revealed it was very emotional after lifting the Lombardi trophy in New Orleans.

They’ve supported me my whole life—they’ve put work into me… To see them in that [Super Bowl touchdown] moment—someone took a video of them after I had scored the touchdown, of my parents in the stands. I’ve never seen my dad get that excited before about a play I made. That was definitely pretty emotional, watching that back.

He also spoke about receiving a message from fellow Iowa graduate and WNBA star Caitlin Clark after the Super Bowl triumph, even though she’s a Chiefs fan.

Yeah, yeah. She sent me a nice message congratulating me. So that was nice of her, being a Chiefs fan and all.

Who is Cooper DeJean dating?

Steph Wilfawn is the one dating Cooper DeJean, at least since April 2024. Wilfawn is a student at the University of Iowa, where she studies enterprise leadership and human relations and is projected to graduate in May 2026. She currently works as a certified technician at Forefront Dermatology in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Who is Kay Adams dating?

Adams’ dating life is rather complicated compared to DeJean’s. The 39-year-old sports presenter/host has been around in the scene for a while.

Last year, she was suddenly linked with former Giants, Vikings, and current Colts quarterback Daniel Jones. She stirred up the internet while interviewing Giants guard Jermaine Eluemunor.

You got that Brian Flores defense, week 1. You gotta protect your boy, my boy. The world, the internet thinks my boy. I don’t want to talk about it. A girl can’t win. I’m trying to hype up your boy. Is he keeping that beard? I believe in you. Go protect my boyfriend.

Kay Adams told Eluemunor

Eluemunor’s job was keeping Jones safe when he was still part of the New York club. Despite the links, Adams denied that she was dating Jones.

Even though Jones turned out to be a dud, there’s another guy with whom Adams has been linked for a few years. ESPN’s Pat McAfee questioned NBA insider Shams Charania whether something was going on between him and Adams in November last year. Charania dodged the question by claiming that Adams was only a colleague with whom he liked working.

I think she’s amazing at what she does. I enjoy going on her show. Obviously, she has, to me—like with you, similarly, you make me feel comfortable when I’m on your show. She makes me feel very comfortable.

Shams Charania told McAfee

It’s fair to assume that Adams is currently single. Cooper DeJean, on the other hand, is happy with Wilfawn.
