John Cena, the renowned professional wrestler, and actor, has generally tried to keep his personal life private. However, it’s hard to keep many things a secret as he is a massive superstar and Cena’s recent Hollywood move has increased his popularity even more. Cena has been in several high-profile relationships, including a relationship with fellow professional wrestler Nikki Bella. Nevertheless, they broke up after dating for several years.
Before Bella, John Cena was married to Elizabeth Huberdeau, commonly known as Liz Cena. The couple tied the knot on July 11, 2009. However, their marriage faced difficulties, and they filed for divorce in May 2012. The divorce was finalized on July 18, 2012. Following their divorce, The Leader of Cenation has kept quiet about the relationship. Furthermore, the process of their divorce involved so much drama.
During the court case, Liz’s lawyer issued a statement on Cena allegedly being unfaithful. “We’re definitely following up on every lead relative to his being unfaithful before AND after the separation,” the lawyer said. Moreover, former WWE Star, Kenny Dykstra also disclosed some secrets from the past, alleging John Cena was dating the former WWE women’s champion, Mickie James.
Dyxtra and James were engaged during their time in the WWE, hence many fans believed him to be a reliable source. Wrestling Inc. also reported that due to the relationship between Cena and Mickie James, Kenny Dykstra was transferred from Raw to SmackDown before eventually getting released from the company in 2008.
Nonetheless, it is not yet confirmed whether Liz and her lawyer accused the former 16-time WWE Champion of dating James outside of their marriage, or it was some different woman. Even many years after their alleged relationship, neither Cena nor James has opened up on these allegations.
