As a WWE star, Nickelodeon awards host and Make-A-Wish hero, he is beloved by children all over the world.
But it was John Cena's decision not to have any of his own that caused his split from Nikki Bella, insiders have claimed.
A source close to the former couple told People magazine that she didn't give him an ultimatum, but rather he got cold feet as the wedding date approached
'He talked a really good game about having changed, about having his priorities straight, about knowing what’s important, and that it was her,' the friend said.
'But as the day got closer, it was like he just went back to who he’s always been — which is someone who puts himself first, always.'
The pair were set to tie the knot on May 5, less than three weeks away.
'He’s an incredibly dedicated, driven, ambitious guy,' the source continued. 'And for the longest time he said he didn’t think he had room in his life for a spouse or kids. It seems like in the end that was still the truth.
'But in that case, he never should’ve proposed, let alone in front of millions of people. Now she’s heartbroken.'
The 40-year-old had previously insisted he would not wed again, after splitting from Elizabeth Huberdeau in 2012 after three years of marriage.
Nevertheless, he got down on one knee in front of 34-year-old Nikki last year, at Wrestlemania 33.
'This was supposed to be the happiest time of her life,' the insider added. 'He ruined it and blew everything up.'
The former couple, who had been dating for six years, broke the news via joint statement on Sunday.
'While this decision was a difficult one, we continue to have a great deal of love and respect for one another,' they said. 'We ask that you respect our privacy during this time in our lives.'
