#4 & #5. WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella & WWE legend John Cena

WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella and John Cena started dating in 2012. Bella later moved in with Cena after signing a 75-page agreement.

Although they were in love with each other, the two wrestlers had different opinions about marriage and kids. Cena has been married before and did not want to do it again. He also did not desire to have kids. Meanwhile, Bella wanted to tie the knot with the 16-time World Champion and have children with him.

In 2017, Cena and Bella teamed up at WrestleMania 33 to defeat The Miz and Maryse. The former WWE Champion then proposed to his girlfriend inside the ring.

The couple got engaged and were set to get married on May 5, 2018. Nonetheless, they called off their engagement nearly a month before their wedding. Although they later briefly reconciled, the two WWE legends split for good in July 2018.

In an interview with Better Together, the WWE Hall of Famer disclosed why she decided to break up with the Leader of the Cenation.

"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," she said.

Nikki Bella is currently engaged to dancer Artim Chigvinstev. She gave birth to their first child, Matteo, on July 31, 2020. Meanwhile, Cena tied the knot with Shay Shariatzadeh in October 2020. Shariatzadeh works as a Program Manager at Microsoft.
