According to him, this topic was addressed from the beginning of his relationship with his wife, Shay Shariatzadeh. “We have spoken openly about this. We share the same values”, Cena said, emphasizing that both were honest about their expectations and plans for the future.

Far from regretting it, the couple says they feel fully satisfied with the life they have built together. The actor explained that both find happiness in their present and do not feel that something is missing because they do not have children, a decision that, according to him, they made out of conviction and not obligation.
