WWE Superstar, John Cena explained why he doesn’t want children

Well-known WWE wrestler, John Cena has disclosed his reasons for not wanting to have children, opting out of parenthood altogether.

TopNaija confirms that the 47 year old John Cena, admired by both children and adults since he came into WWE in 2002, has been married to SHay Shariatzadeh since 2020.

This, however, is the second time he got married following his separation from three-year union with Elizabeth Huberdeau.

The 16-time WWE champion holds a Guinness World Record as the most requested celebrity by children through the Make-a-Wish Foundation, an organization that makes dreams come true for kids with serious illnesses.

Going close to the age of Jubilee, John Cena seems to remain firm on his parenting stance, meaning his choice to remove having children from his bucket list.

He discussed his stance on parenthood during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show in January 2022. “I really enjoy my life. I have been riding a lightning bolt for quite some time now,” he said.

“I have been given opportunities to do some things that man, I didn’t even dream of, and I had some pretty lofty dreams.”

For Cena, time is the crucial factor. He believes he simply doesn’t have enough of it to bring a new life into his already busy schedule.

“It’s hard work. It’s hard work to balance the time. I need to run myself correctly,” he added.

“It’s hard work to be the best partner and husband I can be to my loving wife. It’s hard to keep connections with those in my life who I love, and it’s also hard to put in an honest day’s work.

According to People, the demanding pace of his career has greatly influenced Cena’s choice to remain child-free.

He worries about the potential of being an absent parent, a scenario he finds unacceptable for a child’s upbringing.

Cena’s perspective reflects a deep awareness of the serious commitments that come with raising a child.

This is coming after the wrestler declared his retirement from wrestling.

During his speech at the Money In The Bank event in Canada, he revealed that his final matches will take place at the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and WrestleMania 41 in 2025.

“I have been doing this a while, I’ve been in WWE for over two decades,” he said, addressing the fans. “And in that time I’ve seen incredible waves of prosperity like we’ve got right now.

“WWE is the hottest ticket in town, no doubt. And I’ve also seen tremendous hardship. I wanna say thank you, thank you so much for letting me play in the house that you built.”
