John Cena and Nikki Bella have broken off their engagement and ended their relationship, according to a short statement they released through Us Weekly.
While this decision was a difficult one, we continue to have a great deal of love and respect for one another. We ask that you respect our privacy during this time in our lives.
A short time after the Us article went live, the Bella Twins also tweeted the statement.
The couple, who have starred in Total Divas and its spinoff Total Bellas, as well as being veteran WWE Superstars, famously got engaged at WrestleMania 33, just over a year ago. It makes sense when you think about it, however, that their lives have gone in different directions since then. They used to be on the same touring schedule as wrestlers, but now John is only wrestling part time while starring in major Hollywood movies like his recent comedy Blockers, while Nikki is helping run multiple businesses and still doing the reality TV thing, including a recent run on Dancing with the Stars. In a previous interview with Us Weekly, John Cena spoke about the difficulties of maintaining their relationship:
I would never ever want Nicole to be in a position where she says, “I’m holding you back from doing this because I feel it’s wrong for us.” And I would never say that to her. That’s why she’s super busy and sometimes we don’t see each other for months at a time, but when we do see each other, it’s our time together. I think, for now at least, that is certainly what’s making this work.
That very telling “for now” appears to have since come to an end. As they move on with their lives and careers, those of us watching from home can only wish them each the best.
Why does The Miz always wind up being right about everything

+1 I can’t wait for him to roast John about this.

Whoo boy. If this doesn’t lead to D-Bry getting drafted to Raw and kicking Cena’s ass to defend his sister-in-law’s honor, what are we even doin’ here?
Cena has that part-time free agent thing going on. They can have that match anywhere.
Everyone assumed that Braun Strowman would throw a ring, but it turned out to be Nikki Bella

+1 But give Braun time.
This is not surprising i always thought this whole relationship was for tv cameras
I guess Miz wasn’t lying haha
Well, this is awkward.
*Cena waves hand in front of face
“I just can’t see a future with us.”
Great, now Cena’s gonna get married three more times just to get his win back.

Cena’s really committing to this free agent stuff huh?
They broke up because Nikki couldn’t see him.
So, Miz and Maryse retroactively win that feud, right?
I would think it would have to happen in the ring.
I think we’ve determined that Jern has a fear of rings, tho.
Seeing myself out now…
Nice of him to wait until after WM and the HoF ceremony to break off his high profile engagement. Real company man that Jern Cena.
I promise you this was over the kids thing. Nikki wants to be a mom and Cena doesn’t want children. I can understand both parties on this one, and I’m fairly confident that since Nikki got him to break on the marriage thing, she put her foot down on the kids thing, and Cena said no.
I co-sign this suspicion
Least funny comment
True, though. Listen to Cena on the ID10T podcast a couple of weeks ago. He’s robotic in his answers – could be this whole thing wearing him down, could just be the way he is in interviews – but he comes damn close to dropping this on Hardwick. He talks about the difference of opinion on having kids, too. He paid lip service to being willing to change, but it seemed like an unbridgeable gap.
Superstar Shake-Up started early.
Triple h is currently standing in a bathroom looking into a mirror saying, ‘so Bryan, the thing is, without John and Nikki we really don’t need the flat Bella around anymore. She a B+ cup at best.’
Mmm I don’t know, motherhood has been good to Brie.
Amen @Endy_MionEndy
Tuxedo Mask out here stealing my lines. Brie lookin healthy after baby. Thank You Birdie *Clap*Clap*Clap* *ClapClapClap*

She’s single? The Make-A-Wish Foundation really knows how to come through!

God, is there anything Ciampa WON’T ruin?
…ok, I’m curious as to how he figures into this.
Because he’s pure evil and everything bad and wrong in the world is due to that fuckface.
Spirit Squad Kenny, quick! Now’s your chance to swoop in and woo Nikki and make Cena look like a dick.
Doesn’t Spirit Squad Nicky have dibs though?
I thought it was Kenny that was in that whole scenario where Cena cheated on his wife with Mickie James while she was dating/engaged to Kenny. Ah well, one of those poor sods.
I meant that Dolph dated Nikki at one point before she and Cena became a thing, so it’s a case of rebound-oriented Nicky vs. revenge-oriented Kenny for the fair Bella’s hand.
Ahhh gotcha. I sense a tag team, playa!
I mean, it’s not WrestleMania XX main event levels of retroactive embarassment, I suppose.
At least no one could have predicted Benoit would murder two of the three people who congratulated him in the ring.
So does this make Miz and Maryse the Jay-Z and Beyonce of the WWE? I mean forgetting the fact that Beyonce is the Miz of that relationship
Uce and Naomi perhaps.
It’s like John helped the Undertake un-retire just to set a precedent for undoing WM 33.
+1 HA HA HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
Its a work!
She got tired of being a beard for power bottom John
