Back in late 2019, John Cena spilled the beans on when did he meet Shay Shariatzadeh for the first time. Shariatzadeh joined the WWE legend on the red carpet at the premiere of Playing with Fire. On the red carpet, Cena opened up on when the duo first met.

"It's a wonderful day for a movie premiere and I got a beautiful date,"

"What's truly special about this one is that, no matter what projects I'm involved in in the future, this one will always have a special meaning because I got to film a special project and meet someone special."

The shooting of Playing With Fire took place in Vancouver, British Columbia. Now it doesn't matter whether it was fate or pure chance, but the lovebirds met during the shoot and things only got better from that point on. Ever since then, Cena and Shariatzadeh have been publicly spotted on various occasions, but the duo has made it a point to keep things as private as they possibly can. This is in stark contrast to Cena's previous relationship with Nikki Bella, which was featured heavily on Total Divas and Total Bellas.
