Nikki Bella Speaks About Her First Encounter With John Cena After Their Breakup

Nikki Garcia is talking about her first run-in with John Cena after they broke up and it was awkward!

Can you imagine the awkwardness? Like, what do you even say to your ex who just happens to show up at the same event as you? It must’ve been one tense moment.

While appearing as a guest on Wednesday’s episode of the “Honestly Cavallari: The Podcast Tour,” the WWE star recalled what it was like seeing her ex at Royal Rumble 2025 in February. At the time, Cena was joined by his wife, Shay Shariatzadeh.

“I was in a circle talking to people. He came to [shake] everyone’s hand,” Garcia told host Kristin Cavallari, noting that the reunion was “very quick” out of “respect” for Cena now being a “married” man.

“We just said, ‘Hello, good to see you. I think last time we were engaged. I don’t know, it’s been a while.’”

According to Garcia, 41, the reunion came about “seven [or] eight years” after she and Cena, 48, called it quits.

The fellow pro wrestlers first started dating in 2012 after years of platonic friendship. Cena later popped the question to Garcia in April 2017 — with a $115K ring on stage at WrestleMania 33.

“My Prince Charming made me his Queen in a place we call home Last night was truly unforgettable. A dream come true! N,” Garcia tweeted following the proposal.

The pro wrestler — who formerly went by the stage name Nikki Bella — admitted that she “felt off” after the engagement because of her and Cena’s differing views on children. Nikki had a desire to have children, while Cena did not.

“I just know deep down I want a baby,” she said in part, during an episode that aired on Season 2 of the hit series.

The couple called off their engagement in April 2018 and eventually split for good in July of that year.

But hey, who wouldn’t be a hot mess running into their ex, especially one as famous as John Cena? You got to hand it to Nikki for just rolling with it and getting through that awkward encounter. Life is full of unexpected moments!
