John Cena has established quite a reputation in the wrestling ring, but outside of his persona as a WWE superstar and actor, he’s a doting husband to Shay Shariatzadeh.

Since their 2020 wedding, the Ricky Stanicky actor and the Iranian engineer have made appearances together at a handful of red carpet outings.

During a July 2024 interview with the Wall Street Journal, John shared the secret to his happy relationship with his wife. “Honesty, communication, genuine love, gratitude and vulnerability have helped us tremendously,” he said.

Their photos together prove their relationship was built to last!

John and Shay were first linked in 2019. They attended the Playing with Fire premiere in New York City, making their red carpet debut. They met while he was filming the movie in Vancouver, where she lived at the time.

“It’s a wonderful day for a movie premiere and I got a beautiful date,” he told Entertainment Tonight.

“What’s truly special about this one is that, no matter what projects I’m involved in in the future, this one will always have a special meaning because I got to film a special project and meet someone special,” John said.

After attending the premiere of Jackpot, John opened up about his decision to not have kids with Shay.

“I don’t want them,” he said during an appearance on the “Club Shay Shay” podcast. “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,” he added. “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.”
