WWE veteran John Cena has been one of the most prominent names to ever step foot in the pro wrestling world. While The Cenation Leader is mostly known for his spectacular in-ring and mic skills, he’s also been involved in a number of on-screen love angles.
Most of the romantic storylines he was a part of were limited to TV screens only, but some of them were rumored to have turned real. One such story was Cena‘s relationship with Kelly Kelly, as many believed that the on-screen interactions between the two turned into real-life love.
As the two stars never talked about their rumored relationship in public, it’s still a mystery for the fans if they ever dated. So, without wasting any more time, let’s check out if the former female WWE star really dated The Cenation Leader.
