Nikki Bella and fiance Artem Chigvintsev are excited about an incoming bundle of joy. This is a happy time in their life, but Nikki Bella almost married John Cena instead.
While speaking to “Better Together” with Maria Menounos, Nikki Bella discussed her breakup with John Cena. He agreed to give her children which was something he pushed back on throughout their relationship. They had a wedding in Mexico all ready to go and paid for, but they never used that venue.
In the end, Nikki decided to break things off because she didn’t want to feel like she was forcing John Cena to have a baby with her.
“Overall, we did have such an incredible relationship, it was just two people that wanted two different lives. We were trying so hard to make it one. And, it was like, even in the end when he was willing to give me kids, I could just tell, it’s not what we wanted. And that’s really, like, you know, what pushed me in the end, was like, if I’m going to force someone to be a father… what if he looks at you down the road and just regrets everything, and then you have this child and you’ve built this life. Is that what you want?”
“And I remember thinking: it’s not what I want. And, it was like, even in the end when he was willing to give me kids, I could just tell, it’s not what we wanted. And that’s really, like, you know, what pushed me in the end, was like, if I’m going to force someone to be a father…what if he looks at you down the road and just regrets everything, and then you have this child and you’ve built this life. Is that what you want? And I remember thinking: it’s not what I want.”
