John Cena is often touted as the greatest of all time in the WWE and has also made it big in the world of Hollywood. It’s tough to keep balancing a career in movies and professional wrestling but being loyal to his fans in the WWE, he often comes back to TV to compete in one-off matches, the last one being at the biggest Wrestlemania of all time in Hollywood.
For the past several years, John Cena had managed to keep a low profile regarding his current relationship. Many may not know but the 43-year-old superstar is actually married for the past couple of years or so. His spouse’s name is Shay Shariatzadeh, whom he met in 2019 at a restaurant while filming for the movie Playing with Fire in Vancouver, Canada as she was also working in the productions unit.
Why WWE’s Nikki Bella Called Off Her Wedding With John Cena
As per the local sources, John Cena got married to Shay, for the first time in October 2020 at an attorney’s office in Tampa, Florida, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Then in July 2022, the couple had gone through a second wedding at the Rosewood Hotel Georgia in Vancouver, Canada, where close family and friends were in attendance. This might appear to be a strange act for many.
John Cena protected his current relationship from public eyes
Unlike John Cena’s relationship days with Nikki Bella, he’s been extremely private about his relationship with Shay. Hence, it’s tough to tell why the couple decided to tie the knot not once but twice. As indicated by Ringside News, the pandemic could have played a role in making that decision to have a second wedding just like many other couples had to postpone their plans for a wedding due to the same reason.
It is possible that John Cena and Shay Shariatzadeh wanted to have a traditional ceremony with their beloved ones, a moment that they never got to have during their courtroom marriage back in the fall of 2020. Hence, they decided to go through with the nuptials, two years later. In the process, they also reaffirmed their commitment to each other and celebrate the occasions with dear ones.
