However, one person who stole his attention and has kept it that way over the past few years is his wife, Shay Shariatzadeh. The couple started dating back in 2019 and got married in a private ceremony in 2020. Cena and Shariatzadeh have been seen together almost every time Cena is out in public, but the couple has managed to keep their life quite private.

John Cena was previously involved in a relationship with WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella, which ended with the couple calling off their engagement back in 2018. Cena and Shariatzadeh have not revealed a lot about their relationship over the years, until recently, when Cena opened up on how he met his wife.

“So this goes in line with kind of my whole life by accident. It was Super Bowl about six years ago...In walks a group of four, and I can't take my eyes off of Shay. They're in the booth right across from us, so I'm watching their TV, they're watching mine, and I'm just doing this. My team is winning and I don't give a f***. And I don't have the bravery to break the ice. And her friend comes up. It's like, hey, can I have a picture with you? I'm like, only if I can get a picture with her. And she's, well, to be honest, I didn't want a picture with you. I was asking for her anyway. I'm like, you're kidding me,” revealed John Cena.
