Before secretly tying the knot with Shay Shariatzadeh, WWE legend and Hollywood star **John Cena** had a romantic history that captured the attention of millions. His love life, filled with high-profile relationships and shocking twists, was almost as dramatic as his wrestling career
💔 **The Secret Affair with Mickie James (2007-2008)**
In 2007, Cena was rumored to be secretly dating fellow WWE star **Mickie James**. However, their relationship lasted only a year before coming to an abrupt end. At the time, Mickie’s ex-husband, **Kenny Dykstra**, claimed that after discovering the affair, he immediately requested to be transferred from **RAW**—where Cena and James were competing—to **SmackDown**, effectively distancing himself from the drama.
💍 **A Short-Lived Marriage with Elizabeth Huberdeau (2009-2012)**
Following his breakup with James, Cena moved on and got engaged to his high school sweetheart, **Elizabeth Huberdeau**. The couple tied the knot in **July 2009**, but their marriage only lasted three years. One of the key reasons for their split? Cena strongly believed he didn’t want children, fearing that his demanding career would prevent him from being a present father. This difference in priorities ultimately led to the end of their marriage.
🔥 **The WWE Power Couple: John Cena & Nikki Bella (2012-2018)**
Shortly after his divorce, Cena entered a highly publicized relationship with fellow WWE superstar **Nikki Bella** in late **2012**. The pair quickly became WWE’s most talked-about couple, and their relationship even became a major storyline in the reality show **Total Divas**. Cena and Bella’s romance reached its peak when they got engaged at **WrestleMania 33 in April 2017**, but just a year later, the engagement was called off.
💔 **Bella moved on with professional dancer Artem Chigvintsev, to whom she is now engaged. But what about Cena?**
💎 **A New Beginning: John Cena & Shay Shariatzadeh’s Secret Wedding (2020)**
After three high-profile relationships, Cena surprised fans when he was spotted with **Shay Shariatzadeh** in early **2019**. Unlike his past romances, Cena kept this relationship relatively private. According to **TMZ**, the couple reportedly filed for a marriage license in Florida in **October 2020**. Just days later, on **October 12**, they officially tied the knot in a secret ceremony in **Tampa, Florida**.
Shariatzadeh, a **Canada-based technology executive with Iranian roots**, is vastly different from Cena’s past partners, making fans wonder: **Has John Cena finally found his forever love?**
