How Did John Cena and His Girlfriend Meet?

Now that we know about Cena and his new love, the next question that pops to mind is how did the two meet? Because not everyday an engineer falls in love with a professional wrestler.

According to life and style magazine, John and Shay first met in Vancouver. The actor was filming Playing With Fire between February and March last year.

Throughout March and April, Cena was out with “mystery girl” Shay. A few months later, the couple made their official appearance at a movie premiere in October 2019.
