So much for Nikki Bella and John Cena being down for the count.
About six weeks after the WWE grapplers and reality show stars called off their engagement, sources tell Us Weekly that Cena and Bella are back together.
“Nikki called off the wedding earlier this month so she could have more time to make a decision with what she wanted in life,” an insider close to the pair tells this tabloid.
This source continues:
“Calling off the wedding was the right decision at the moment and their relationship only grew from it.
“It didn’t mean that any love was lost, or that they lost any feelings for one another, but they both have realized that they love each other and want to be with one another.”
Cena and Bella had been together for six years at the time of their break-up last month.
It was never clear exactly why they went their separate ways, although whether or not they were going to have kids in the near future, far future or at all was apparently a topic of tension.
“While this decision was a difficult one, we continue to have a great deal of love and respect for one another,” the wrestlers said upon announcing their split.
A short time afterward, however, Cena appeared on The Today Show and poured his well-chiseled heart out.
“I had my heart broken out of nowhere,” Cena said at the time, growing emotional during this appearance, adding on air:
“I’ve looked at myself every day and I’ve tried to evaluate myself and the woman that I love.”
Without getting into specifics, Cena said that an “unfortunate set of circumstances” led to the romance ending, but made it as clear as possible that he’d be very open to another chance:
“I still love Nicole, I still would love to marry Nicole, I still would love to have a family with Nicole.”
Watch excerpts from the interview here:
The 41-year old WWE veteran has said for years that he didn’t want to have children.
But as you can see above, he’s now changed his tune and would be happy to impregnate Bella if she so desires.
Whatever it would take to make sure the couple walks down the aisle at some point, which is what they agreed to do back when Cena proposed inside the ring at Wrestlemania in 2017.
Tweeted Cena after their subsequent engagement party:
“Such a wonderful, meaningful, emotional day yesterday with the woman of my dreams and both of our families.
“I love you Nicole, you’ve made me realize the importance of togetherness.”
How sweet, right?
We’re very glad to hear that these to have worked out their issues and we send them nothing but the very best wishes.
It’s worth noting, of course, that neither Cena nor Bella have confirmed their reconciliation.
So let’s hope this isn’t a big tease from Us Weekly.
Let’s hope the report is accurate and wedding bells will soon ring!
