John Cena Knows What He Wants in Life and It Isn’t Kids: ‘Still Have a Lot to Do’
John Cena doesn't think he will ever be "personally ready" to be a dad.
The Blockers actor, who is married to Shay Shariatzadeh, has a lot he wants to do with his own life and admitted he doesn't see having children in his future as a result.
Appearing on the Club Shay Shay podcast, he said: “I have a certain curiosity about life, and I also know the investment that it takes.
"As somebody who’s driven, many times stubborn and selfish, I try to approach the world with kindness and curiosity ... but I don’t think I’m personally ready, nor will I ever be, to invest the time [needed] to be a great parent," Cena stated.
"I want to live life for all it is. I still have a lot to do," the WWE superstar added.
The 47-year-old admitted that he and Shay have had "open conversations" about raising a family but ultimately found themselves to be "on the same page."
Cena began the "uncomfortable" discussions very early in their relationship.
"I opened with a few uncomfortable conversations. Those were first or second date questions with my now-wife. It’s great because we both got to lean into these uncomfortable moments, address this stuff and build a foundation," he said.
