Last month, it was announced that John Cena and Nikki Bella had split up after six years together and our hearts are still a little broken.
The Blockers star had proposed to Nikki at Wrestlemania 33 a year before the split and now Cena has opened up about the breakup.
Speaking on The Today Show, he said: “It’s been incredibly reflective which is amazing, but it is very difficult -- I had my heart broken out of nowhere, or for me, it was out of nowhere. And anyone who has experienced that knows that it comes with a series of bad feelings.”
He continued: “For anyone out there speculating on what I am doing with my life now, I still love Nicole, I still would love to marry Nicole, I still would love to have a family with Nicole. There was an unfortunate set of circumstances where our relationship ended. There has been a lot of speculation recently about me being seen in public and everybody is thinking like, ‘Oh, John Cena is enjoying the single life.’ No, I was supposed to be married and having a honeymoon over these two weeks. It is the first time in 15 years that I have taken a vacation. I am in my house alone, surrounded by these emotionally strong memories and every day from 6-9, I get out of the house and talk to strangers as social interaction.
“I don't want anybody else. I love Nicole. I'm really trying to support her in her trying to find whatever it is she wants that made this fall apart in the first place, and in doing so, I'm also just trying to live. But I don't have any other hopes, other than maybe one day that we can work it out.”
Cena added that he is a changed man from their relationship and still wants a future with her which includes having kids.

Since the TV appearance, Nikki Bella was asked by Extra TV what she thought of what Cena had said.
“Wow, I’m speechless,” she responded. “That’s crazy. I have hope. I just want John and I both to live happily ever after, whether it’s together or separate. The day I say my vows, I want to say them once and I want to fully mean them. That’s what made me hesitate, it was am I ready to say these vows?”
