Despite Setting Guinness World Record for Making 650 Kids’ Wishes Come True, Here’s Why Loveable Hunk John Cena Chose a ‘Child-Free’ Life

Among the several well-known wrestlers, John Cena is one who is immensely loved by kids. From day one, his fanbase was pretty strong and to date, children love The Cenation Leader. His character on WWE TV helped him establish his flawless bond with kids, who absolutely adore and Cena returns the favor. But then why does the legend not plan to have a child of his own? 

This must be the question of millions of Cena fans. For many years now, people have been questioning the same. This curiosity rose after Cena got married to Shay Shariatzadeh in October 2020. The two met on the set of the wrestler’s movie, Playing with Fire (2019), and soon after a year and a half’s dating, the couple got hitched in secret. However, the legend finally broke his silence in his child-free life. 

John Cena gave reasons for his choice of not having a child of his own

The WWE Universe knows of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, where renowned personalities grant the wishes of critically ill children. In this charitable work, Cena rose to prominence and even recorded his name in the Guinness Book of World Records for granting the wishes of around 650 children. But despite that, he isn’t planning to have his own kid. 

One reason behind it is The Peacemaker’s busy schedule since his acting career has skyrocketed. The legend spoke about it himself during the promotions of The Peacemaker.

Speaking on The Drew Barrymore Show, Cena reflected on his choice of having no children of his own while reasoning for the same. He said, “I think just because you might be good at something, for me, is not a strong enough reason to do that.”

Adding to this, the legend also highlighted his busy schedule and the hard work that goes behind raising a child. Cena stated, “I have been riding a lightning bolt for quite some time now… It’s [raising kids] hard work. It’s hard work to balance the time, I need to run myself correctly. It’s hard work to be the best partner and husband I can be to my loving wife.”

This must have made things clear once and for all that as per John Cena, it isn’t the right time for having his own kid. And the legend is quite clear with his choice of not bringing a new addition to his family. But his fans would always wish to see a junior Cena for whom the legend is his hero, similar to many other children.
