Philadelphia, PA — The City of Brotherly Love might just have found its newest power duo.
On Tuesday night, Eagles rookie cornerback Cooper DeJean was spotted enjoying dinner with Hollywood star Kiernan Shipka — the 23-year-old actress best known for her breakout role as Sabrina Spellman in Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
The two were seen dining at The Philadelphia Grille
, a cozy spot in Center City known for its warm lights and vintage Eagles décor. Witnesses described the scene as effortlessly natural — both dressed casually, laughing and talking comfortably
over pasta and wine as candlelight flickered across their table. “They looked happy, like two people just enjoying the night,” one diner recalled.
Soon after, a photo taken through the restaurant window went viral, showing Shipka smiling brightly while DeJean leaned in mid-laugh — a snapshot that instantly lit up social media. One user posted:
“Philly might have just become Hollywood East — Cooper DeJean and Kiernan Shipka? This is wild.”
Shipka, born in Chicago, has long been regarded as one of Gen Z Hollywood’s most accomplished talents , transitioning seamlessly from her Mad Men childhood fame to leading roles in psychological and horror films such as Totally Killer and Wildflower.
As for DeJean, the rookie corner has been one of the Eagles’ most promising young standouts, earning praise for his poise, versatility, and leadership beyond his years. His calm demeanor off the field only adds to his growing mystique among fans.
When asked about the viral moment after practice, DeJean chuckled and said briefly:
“We grabbed dinner, that’s it. She’s great company — that’s all I’ll say.”
Still, fans aren’t convinced the story ends there — especially after Shipka was later spotted wearing an Eagles cap while leaving the restaurant.
Whether it was just dinner or the start of something more, one thing’s for sure — Cooper DeJean and Kiernan Shipka just turned a quiet Philly evening into a viral sensation, proving sparks can fly even in the heart of the City of Brotherly Love.
