John Cena and fellow wrestler, Nikki Bella, started dating in 2012, the same year he and his first wife, Elizabeth Huberdeau, filed for divorce, according to People. After five tumultuous and drama-filled years of dating, Cena got down on one knee and proposed. However, the proposal wasn't a private or intimate event. Cena proposed to Bella on live television in front of an audience of 75,000 wrestling fans at Wrestlemania 33, according to Men's Health. The couple had just finished a wrestling match together when he grabbed the mic and asked the big question.
"Right before she went into [a pre-operation], a year and a half ago," the wrestler told ESPN as soon as he left the ring (via Men's Health). "I knew she'd be out of it and I could ask her anything I wanted, and I said 'someday I'm gonna' marry you.'"
Several weeks before the two were set to tie the knot, there seemed to be trouble brewing. Though they had a history of breaking up and making up, it seemed the end was near. Bella confirmed their split in late July 2018, according to People.
In a statement to People, Bella explained that after the engagement ended, the couple tried to get their relationship back on track, but the damage was irreparable. "After much time and soul-searching alone and together, we have decided to officially part ways. I have the utmost respect for John, but I know this is what's best for me."
