John Cena has proved to be one of the biggest stars in the world with his successful Hollywood career and legendary run as a professional wrestler. With his immense popularity around the globe, the 47-year-old has been balancing his personal and professional life pretty well.
Cena is married to Shay Shariatzadeh and has pointed out why he didn’t have kids. During a recent appearance on the Club Shay Shay podcast, John Cena stated that he doesn’t have enough time to invest in being a great parent.
“I have a certain curiosity about life, and I also know the investment that it takes. And my biggest fear is, as someone who’s driven, many times stubborn, and selfish, I try to approach the world with kindness and curiosity, but I don’t think I’m personally ready, nor will I ever be, to invest the time it needs to be a great parent because I want to live life for all it is. And I still have a lot to do, and I still want to do a lot. I have a wonderful partner I do it with. We’ve had open conversations about this. We share the same values,” Cena stated [1:10:10 onwards]
The 16-time WWE World Champion also stated that he had discussed this topic with his wife, who shared the same values. Cena added that he has thought a lot about having kids but still has much to do with himself.

“It’s a tough subject to talk about because it immediately puts you in a category, and we can’t help but judge. People are human nature. We’re all judgmental. I’d like to believe that I operate under the construct that everyone’s okay living their life, and I can tell you this is not like a knee-jerk reaction. I’ve thought long and hard about this, even as my youngest age is like 15, 16, I remember thinking about it,” Cena added.
John Cena also addressed having kids earlier, and his answer to this question has been quite similar.

“Joe’s smart, passionate about the business, multi-generational athlete, has respect for his family, has respect for the locker room, has respect for the business. He’s a very very smart performer and somebody I respect. He’d be my greatest of all time,” Cena added. [From 48:16 to 48:33]
