John Cena gave an explanation of his reasons for not wanting children as well as the course of their talk.
The actor discussed his decision to be childless in an interview with the Club Shay Shay podcast.
“I don’t want them,” John said. “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. I have a wonderful partner I do it with. We’ve had open conversations about this. We share the same values.”
Shay Shariatzadeh and John got married in 2020, and during their early dating years, they talked about not having children—a topic that had an impact on John’s previous relationships.
Nikki Bella, a fellow WWE star, and John had a six-year romance until it ended when she revealed her desire for children.
