After playing his college football with the Georgia Bulldogs, James Cook was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft. Since then, he’s become an integral part of the team’s success, becoming the Bills first running back to rush for over 1,000 yards in a single season since 2017 and tying a franchise record set in 1975 for scoring 16 rushing touchdowns in a single season. Cook has also made two Pro Bowls.

Now, members of the Bills Mafia want to know as much as they can about the star back, including who he’s in a relationship with.

Here’s more on his girlfriend, Bella Cvetanovski, and where you may have seen her before.

When Cook and Cvetanovski went public with their relationship

For those who were wondering if the running back had a special someone in his life, Cook let everyone know he did with a social media post in 2024 when he gave Cvetanovski a shoutout.

Cook took to Instagram with a series of photos of them together and captioned those: “The person who keeps me grounded and inspires me every day. Grateful to have you by my side, Bella.” 

Cvetanovski is the captain of an NFL cheerleading squad

Cvetanovski was born and raised in Michigan. She attended the University of Cincinnati for one year before transferring to Oakland University, where she studied public relations and advertising.

Today, Cvetanovski is an NFL cheerleader and the captain of the Detroit Lions squad.

If you’re thinking about that rule prohibiting professional cheerleaders from dating players, it’s only if they’re on the same team, so it doesn’t apply to Cook and Cvetanovski.

Cooks’ lady is also a social media influencer with more than 11,000 followers. In addition to posting about cheerleading, she has shared content about fitness and nutrition.

Cvetanovski is a former Detroit Pistons dancer

Before she joined the Lions cheer team, Cvetanovski was an NBA dancer with the Detroit Pistons.

She discussed her time with that team in an interview with the Oakland Post, saying, “I fell in love with the style of dance and the environment, so I knew that this is what I wanted to do. The audition process for DPD requires much more than a standard audition process. There are two full days of tryouts and cuts are constantly being made. We learn a variety of routines ranging from jazz to hip-hop and also go through an interview.”

Cvetanovski also talked about how she made nutrition a part of her daily lifestyle.

“I am always creating new recipes … I am now more comfortable in knowing what my body needs, I know what will keep me full and camera ready at the same time,” she explained. “That being said, I am also a normal girl who loves to relax and eat desserts as well.”
