John Cena dated former WWE Divas Champion Nikki Bella for six years and the pair got engaged in 2017. The couple split up a year later, weeks before their marriage, due to disagreements over starting a family. And it turns out the two were not on the same page when came to dietary habits as well.

A known fitness and bodybuilding freak, Cena also takes great care when it comes to his diet. He follows a proper muscle-building eating plan and ensures that he works out the appropriate amount as well.

In 2017, the Doctor of Thuganomics talked about his exercising routine in an interview and also shared his diet on his loading days. Moreover, he also talked about how he differed from her ex-fiancee Nikki Bella about a particular eating habit.

Cena said, “Man, I am absolutely a baked goods person. I love baked goods. I love pancakes and French toast and muffins. I love baked desserts like cookies, pies. I love ice cream.” He then mentioned that his carb loading was different from his ex-fiancee Nikki Bella.

Yeah, but not like…. Nicole — that’s my fiancee, excuse the explanation. But does she tends to gravitate towards hard candy and sugary sweets. And I know a lot of people have those. You’re either a baked goods person or a sugary-sweet person.”
