Nikki Bella continues to hold out hope that John Cena, her boyfriend since 2012, will one day marry her and have children, despite his protests.
“John is in a place where he doesn’t see marriage. I respect his decision right now because I’m happy,” Nikki tells Life & Style. But, she notes, “I do want to get married and I want to have kids—and I want to have all with John. I hope one day he wants those things!”
In a deleted scene from a recent episode of Total Divas, Cena shocked Nikki with a question that she never expected to hear.
“Let me ask you something,” he begins. “Let’s just say I was to ask you to marry me and we get married. Is that enough?”
“Right when I think I get through one obstacle with him,” Nikki reveals to the camera, “now there’s another one.”
“I’m trying to be a realist,” Cena explains. “I’ve told you that I don’t want to get married and I don’t want to have kids and you do want to get married and you do want to have kids, so I feel there’s this time bomb over my head.”
