Both the couples soon married their current respective spouses. While, Nikki Bella settled with her Dancing with stars partner, Artem Chigvintsev. John Cena chose Canadian Engineer, Shay Shariatzadeh. Both Cena and Shariatzadeh share a jolly and happy relationship.

Although, the couple hardly make their relationship public, they are often spotted with each other during public events. The two seem to be in a comforting space with each other. Recently, during a promotional interview about Fast X, John Cena appeared on Today with Hoda & Jenna, for promoting his movie.

However, during the promotion, the hosts asked Cena about his private and married life. The 45-year-old would be defensive on the subject, and choose to not reveal anything about his private married life. However, he also justified his stance on it as well.

What did John Cena say about not sharing his private married life to the public?

Prior to his marriage with Shay Shariatzadeh, Cena was engaged to Nikki Bella for around a year. After proposing to Nikki Bella at WrestleMania 33, the couple would undergo an ugly public breakup, and separate from each other.

However, he appreciated their question, and replied further, “I really appreciate you asking, boy I do take the congratulations cause I couldn’t be happier. But I think a way for us to keep our intimacy is by keeping it intimate. “

Nikki Bella had once revealed that the main reason behind her and Cena’s breakup was their different point of view of life, and beliefs. While Bella wanted a child, Cena was strictly away from that prospect. However, with Shay Shariatzadeh, Cena might have found his soulmate, and the couple has been going strong for three years.
