John Cena recently appeared on the Club Shay Shay podcast, discussing his decision not to have children. 

He expressed that he simply "doesn't want them," citing a desire for personal freedom and the significant commitment parenting requires. 

He said, "  I don't want them,"  "I have a certain curiosity about life, and I also know the investment that it takes."

"And my biggest fear is, as someone who's driven many times stubborn and selfish, I try to approach the world with kindness and curiosity, but I don't think I'm personally ready, nor will I ever be, to invest the time it needs to be a great parent because I want to live life for all it is."

"And I still have a lot to do. And I still want to do a lot.

He said, He and his wife, Shay Shariatzadeh, addressed this topic early in their relationship, establishing a foundation of open communication about their shared values regarding family

It was the same line of discussion that ended John's previous six-year relationship with Nikki Bella, Sister to Brie Bella, a fellow WWE Superstar, when she opened up about her desire for children.
